I see that F16 doesn't have hald anymore, and when trying to write a DVD, k3b says it can't find the optical drive, and that I should check out that hal daemon is up. So, what's up? -- Martín Marqués select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador

that message must be wrong you do not even need hald on F15, see below and i have burned a DVD last week [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -qa | grep hal hal-libs-0.5.14-6.fc15.x86_64 [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$

It is probably not being set to /dev/sr0

If you ever swapped the DVD drive for a different one, there is (probably) a file named: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules which contains the description of every drive you ever had in your system and the name assigned to it. If you really only have one drive and the old ones are dead and scrapped, the simplest thing to do is remove that file and reboot. If you really have multiple drives, and you want one in particular to be the "main" /dev/sr0 one, you'd need to edit the file to swap the names around and reboot.

Thanks Tom, that did it! -- Martín Marqués select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador

How do I do that? Brasero is also saying that there is no virgen DVD to write to, but KDE sees the empty DVD I put in the drive. -- Martín Marqués select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador
