Could you recommend some CD burning software?

Post by Husse »

The out of the box version is not all that good. There are quite a few instances in synaptics for CD burning, but I don't really know what/how to choose

I heard a lot of people using Brasero (make sure to use mintMenu 1.11 for Brasero to work from the menu -- Romeo repo), or K3B.

I agree. Hands down, overall presentation and performance I give to K3B.

easy to use, get's er done, every time.

Brasero does it for me, never a complaint so far. My knowledge and ability exceed those of a chimp, but only slightly.

I installed the last Brasero, and it did correctly put a "Start a project" (or similar, in Italian) in the mintMenu; the link however doesn't do anything if you click on it. Brasero works flawlessly from the command line, though. :?:
Am I the only one with this problem? :(

I've got an icon "Brasero" in the Mint menu and when I click it Brasero opens up

I tried again, but nothing changes.
The brasero package does not require any other packages; is this right? I suspect I'm missing some pieces, somehow...

Thanx for help Husse! :D

@kanishka

The installer takes care of "the dependancies hell" so all you need is installed.
I think I remember now that I added the link manually - very easy to do - but easier still if the installer does it.
Check where the exec of brasero is
terminal>which brasero > /usr/bin/brasero
(I did it for you)
Menu>menu layout
Select which group you want for your link on the left pane and click new post. You can choose an icon as well as give the path to the exec.
Done

Well it's getting stranger...
I unisntalled and reinstalled Brasero some more times, and I noticed that it doesn't add an icon to the menu no more. Not only that: I can not add its link to the menu via Menu Layout: it simply doesn't show there, though the same operation works flawlessly for any other application... :shock: :shock: :shock:

It does the same for me. I can start it from the C/L but no icons anywhere unless I make a link.

I still have the same problem... :(

Gnomebaker is not a solution, because it does not want to burn my dvds :cry:

I see that you are using Bianca KDE; so maybe it's a GNOME (I use it) problem?

Yes. it works flawlessly from the CL. But it doesn't show in the menu (I use GNOME Bianca) and - on top of that - it can't be added to it :shock:

Hmmm ... something wrong with your menu maybe? Can you take a look at this posting please:
http://automatthias.wordpress.com/2005/ ... nome-menu/

I know ... it's about creating customised menus. But nontheless this guy mentions all the relevant files there, so maybe it would be worth checking out those files, e.g. if they are present or not and what their permissions are?

If nothing else that link might help you to fix your menu, so I hope.

EDIT #1: Found one more link that might help you to troubleshoot this:

Kanishka, if it works from command line, then it is easy to add it in the gnome menus. Use alacarte. It should be in System->pref->menu layout (which is run alacarte). Add item to the menus or sub menus that you want. I used to check "run from terminal" for testing, and if it works, i will then uncheck it.

The fact is, I can add a new "brasero" icon&Command to alacarte, but it does not show in the menu anyway...

I'm reading scorp's links, stay tuned :wink:
