Re-including list, hope that's okay. On Fri, 17 Mar 2017 17:04:21 -0400, daniel Verreault wrote: > i am a newbie to freebsd and have no idea of what to do. In that case, you should first check the relevant chapter of the FreeBSD handbook which explains the required actions. Keep in mind Brasero doesn't burn CDs and DVDs on its own - it needs the OS and additional programs to do so. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/creating-cds.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/creating-dvds.html > i have freebsd 11 with gnome3 As soon as you got the permissions thing right, Brasero will work as expected. I have it running on one system with Gnome 2. Again, go through the basic steps first: Is the optical drive recognized by the system? # dmesg | grep ^cd # camcontrol devlist Do you have the required software installed? # pkg install cdrecord # pkg install cdrdao # pkg install dvd+rw-tools Does cdrecord recognize the drive? # cdrecord -scanbus Do you have the correct permissions to access the device files that control the optical drive? Check /etc/devfs.conf for entries like this: link cd0 dvd own cd0 root:operator perm cd0 0664 own xpt0 root:operator perm xpt0 0660 own pass0 root:operator perm pass0 0660 Make sure your user is a member of the "operator" group so that you can benefit from the group permission to write to the controlling device files. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
