Bug #5633

brasero is useless
100%
Description
Brasero is a complete garbage.
1) It has some permission problems
a) It is present in application menu, but when it run from menu, it runs as user and doesn't have access to CD devices
b) When it run under gksu, it exits immediately, it can be run under sudo, but not pfexec
2) It just doesn't work
a) Every attempt to blank DVD leads to ejecting disk
b) My attempts to write ISO to blank CD lead to error

1. Brasero 2.32.1 compiles fine when manually built.
The Brasero 2.30.3 build in Hipster-20141010 won't recognize and eject the disc if ran as 'pfexec brasero'. It works correctly when ran as 'su brasero'. You may want to look at the active plugins as well.

Issues with brasero:
1) should depend on growisofs
2) dvd+rw-tools shouldn't worry about running under sudo as it kill brasero plugin check
3) in burn-growisofs.c brasero should do something more clever than :
if (brasero_job_get_fd_in (BRASERO_JOB (growisofs), NULL) == BRASERO_BURN_OK) {
/* set the buffer. NOTE: apparently this needs to be a power of 2 /
/ FIXME: is it right to mess with it ?
g_ptr_array_add (argv, g_strdup_printf ("-use-the-force-luke=bufsize:%im", 32)); */if (!g_file_test ("/proc/self/fd/0", G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) {
g_set_error (error,
BRASERO_BURN_ERROR,
BRASERO_BURN_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND,
_("\\\\"%s\\\\" could not be found"),
"/proc/self/fd/0");
return BRASERO_BURN_ERR;
}/* FIXME: should we use DAO ? */
g_ptr_array_add (argv, g_strdup ("-Z"));
g_ptr_array_add (argv, g_strdup_printf ("%s=/proc/self/fd/0", device));
g_free (device);
}

There's one more issue - if you run brasero from menu (applications=> sound and video=> brasero (without sudo)), it wouldn't detect devices.

BTW similar behaviour can be observed with ddu:
alarcher@helios> /usr/ddu/bin/i386/cd_detect -l
alarcher@helios> sudo /usr/ddu/bin/i386/cd_detect -l
Mot de passe :
