However, in opensuse 13.2, in all 3 drives, the exact same blank cd and dvd did pop up in the device notifier saying that there is a blank in the drive and ready to be burned. It worked here.
Ah, you are waiting for a popup to happen. Why not simply start the burner, and see what it says about the blank?
It would be then a different kind of problem.
Ok, I put the blank dvd in the drive in kde while running 42.1. No read on the drive as far as the popup is concerned. Running fdisk -l doesn't give anything either. So I started K3B, and nothing pops up. So in K3B I went to the device menu and clicked "Media Info", and here are the results: Type: DVD-R Sequential Media ID: CMC MAG.

So I booted into 13.2 and burned the dvd that I needed, then booted back into 42.1. Even though it says it is not rewritable, I know that it is because it will say the opposite if I load it up in 13.2 Given that I am seeing the exact same effects on 2 different computers with completely different hardware, I am thinking that somebody out there has to have already experienced the same thing. But there aren't even any bugs that I could find on bugzilla for this same problem. How often do people burn cds and dvds nowadays anyways? -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
