[SOLVED] Xfburn error message

First, I hope this is the proper board to post this. I did a quick internet search for this problem but came up empty. I just installed Xfburn and am trying to burn an .iso image, but I keep getting the error message below. I have no idea how to fix this.

Re: [SOLVED] Xfburn error message

Not sure how quick your search was but mine told me that apparently there's a "refresh botton" just to the right of where it says "DVD+RW" that needs clicking....

Re: [SOLVED] Xfburn error message

Hello:

... hope this is the proper board ...

Seems it is: Desktop and Multimedia

... search for this problem but came up empty.
... keep getting the error message below.

Me thinks you may have not searched well enough.

https://www.google.com/search?q=xfburn+ … CA0&uact=5

The link above will get you 166 results.
You may want to check some of them out.  8^)

That said:
I have xfburn 0.5.5 on Devuan Beowulf with a backported kernel:

:~$ uname -a
Linux devuan 5.10.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.13-1~bpo10+1 (2021-02-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux
:~$ 

What version of Devuan are you using?

The xfburn GUI starts up properly, would have to find a blank to test as I have not burnt a CD/DVD in a good while.

Is your device properly recognised?
ie: xfburn -> Edit -> Preferences -> Devices

Are the proper boxes ticked in the 'Detected devices' window?
ie: Write CD-R, Write CD-RW, Write DVD-R, Write DVD-RAM, Write Blu-ray.

At what point in the process do you get the error message?
Have you tested the burner with another application to rule out the hardware being the problem?

A.

Re: [SOLVED] Xfburn error message

Thanks guys.There was indeed a refresh button (although it was next to something else besides "DVD+RW".)
