Mr. Burns by Oliver Grawert

[rbrimhall]

Anybody tested this out yet?

Seems like the most efficient CD burner for audio yet... since nautlius can handle almost all other burning tasks... plus it uses hal instead of cdrecord for device detection.

Looks like it might be worthwhile.
Easy too since he's supplied Ubuntu deb's. Thanks for the heads up.

Seems like a lot of Gnome based burning apps are in development right now.

There's also Coaster (http://www.coaster-burn.org) which is based on libburn. Which is hosted by (aack, my bad) the Freedesktop project. I'm going to try that one out too.

Graveman works fine

Graveman looks good... if it would only detect my writer... cdrecord --scanbus is hit and miss with 2.6 kernels still.

All the gnome cd burning apps i have tried have the same problem: they don't auto-detect my burner and don't allow me to specify it myself. Same problem with mr.burns.

[rbrimhall]

really? 'cause if nautilus cd burner works so should mr. burns... it uses hal and dbus to get your burner. The gnomebaker package from here picked my burner up from gconf:

http://people.debian.org/~goedson/debian/packages/gnomebaker/snapshots/

It's a debian deb so it'll complain about the gnome-vfs ubuntu version but it installs anyway and runs fine... even picked up my writer for a change ;)

Mr. Burns.. is the author fishing for a Simpsons fan like myself to say "Excellent" ?

[daniels]

libburn is not 'part of the [f]reedesktop project' as such; we merely host its development, as we do many other projects.

-d, with his fd.o hat on

Thanks for the link. Gnomebaker finally recognizes both my cd drives. Version 0.2 didn't.

I compiled it from source to avoid the complaints about a broken package and it works smooth.

gthread-2.0 seems to be a part of libglib-2.0. Just apt-get it.

Coaster i haven't compiled. The depencies seemed so scary that i didn't care to bother trying to get them.

[lee_connell]

gnomebaker is really nice!~ btw: i have libglib-2.0 and it still complains about gthread so maybe i need to tell it where....

You might need a -dev version installed as well to make it past ./configure.

[rbrimhall]

I can email you a deb of gnomebaker that I made with checkinstall if you send me an email.

[lee_connell]

http://people.debian.org/~goedson/debian/packages/gnomebaker/snapshots/ is where i got gnomebaker.

I wanna try coaster now to see what it's got.


Johan: that's what it was i needed the -dev version. but i failed to meet all dependencies when it hit bakery-2.4 as 2.3.8 is only available in the repos :(
