I've never been comfortable with the CD burners in Puppy -- they didn't work consistently for me. Ill take the blame for that, but at any rate, brasero was very straightforward and easy to use, a nice replacement for those of us hooked on k3b. I'd like to see it included in Puppy.

hey wow, i installed the gnome.sfs and then the brasero.pet but for some reason brasero doesn't seem to recognized my cd drive. device is just grayed out.
I think maybe i'm missing something.....
my computer is a 686 and i have another partition with dreamlinux installed on it and the bresero there works fine from there. Any ideas?

looks like its missing an icon and dbus, you can find the dbus package on the forum and the icon you can find at gnome, should be easy enough. If your having problems locating it the just give me a line.

thanks for the quick response. I found DBus-1.0.2.pet and DBus-GLib-0.74.pet and they were both already installed but i installed them both again but no luck I'm still getting the same error in the console. I have K3B installed and working fine, do you think that maybe
there could be some kind of conflict between the two?
On my Dreamlinux partition they both work fine (not that I'm comparing puppy to dream) with nobody else having this problem, I know there's probably a simple solution.....

progress! Ok I rebooted the computer and tried to run brasero by the terminal again and now the part about /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket error doesn't show up anymore ( and that file does indeed exist) now i just get the other errors. so now i guess i'm off to find this icon.......

ok one more time , I found the icon and I figured out it goes in /usr/share/brasero/icons/highcolor/scalable/actions so now I only get the hal error... it's still grayed out like the pic above.....

here's the howl and dbus I compiled, try it out and see if it works, I don't have this installed, but this works for other gnome applications in the past.

now i tried to copy the file = machine-id from /var/lib/dbus to /user/var/lib/dbus, and I'm back to my original error about hal.

also I have Gslapt installed and it seems hal is installed ..... hmmmm........

in a terminal type the following
dbus-uuidgen
then go to /usr/var/lib/dbus
make a text file called
machine-id
and copy the numbers from the terminal to the text file and save it.

ps the end result you should have a file in
/usr/var/lib/dbus/
called machine-id.txt
with the only the dbus-uuidgen numbers in it, On the firstline and no spaces

it's funny, right before i read your post i entered the dbus-uuidgen and didn't know what the numbers meant. anyway i did that but i wasn't sure if the machine-id was suppose to have a .txt extension or not so i tried it both ways and still no success. also i noticed that every time i do the dbus-uuidgen that the numbers are different....
