Brasero cannot detect drive: No available medium

I’ve experience a problem with Brasero. After a fresh intall of OpenSUSE 11.1, I tried to burn an ISO using Brasero, I had no problem with it on my previous install or so I think. When I try to burn, it couldn’t detect my DVD drive: “No available medium” but the DVD disc are properly placed inside the tray. Anyway I’ll be post here the quick fix I did to get it working:

Here’s it is:

  1. Open YaST
  2. Go to ‘Security and Users
  3. Click ‘User and Group Management
  4. Edit your profile
  5. Go to ‘Details‘ tab
  6. Then on the ‘Additional Groups‘, check the ‘cdrom
  7. Click ‘Ok‘ to save setting

Now open Brasero and start burning!

Note: If Brasero still can’t detect your DVD drive, restart your system this would fix it.
