I noticed that the Brasero disk burner doesn't open if I have used it before, and it was still running, but invisible. I have to close it with system monitor and then open it again. I was wondering if there is some bug fix for it.

  • Which version of brasero are you using @MadTux? – jobin Mar 17 '13 at 09:21

    If you are using Unity and Brasero is still running, then the Brasero icon should show up in the Unity launcher, in which case you can maximize Brasero by clicking on its icon in the Unity launcher. – karel Mar 17 '13 at 11:19
  • @karel it doesn't show up in the launcher, that's the problem. – MadTux Mar 18 '13 at 08:14

    OK, now try this. Browse to /usr/share/applications and look for the Brasero icon (it looks like a silver-colored CD). Drag the Brasero icon into the launcher. Click on the Brasero icon in the launcher. Use Brasero, minimize it, and then click on the Brasero icon in the launcher to maximize it again. Please post a comment reporting your results. – karel Mar 18 '13 at 09:42
  • I'm at school now, but I'll try it out at home. Thanks. – MadTux Mar 18 '13 at 10:55
  • I still want it to quit properly in the first place, though. I don't really want it using up my launcher space all the time. – MadTux Mar 20 '13 at 18:33
  • It's a terrible idea that using brasero. my answer is not what you want but when brasero can't write proper you have no right to expect it to open or close proper just throw it away and use k3b or nero (if you don't concern about free software (free as in freedom)) –  Mar 21 '13 at 10:25

I have installed Brasero 3.4.1 into Xubuntu 12.04 and everything works well. It could be one of the Brasero plugins, blocking the process by sitting in a hidden dialog. Try following:

completely remove brasero

sudo apt-get --purge remove brasero*

and you can let it like this and install k3b or install brasero back again

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install brasero

or use Ubuntu Software center

Locking the Brasero icon into the launcher is all I can suggest.
