[TriLUG] DVD Problems using Gutsy

Tue Feb 12 10:30:38 EST 2008

Hey everyone,

I am hoping that someone has a solution to a problem I have. Since upgrading to 2.6.22-14-generic (gutsy) my dvdrw will not successfully write a disc. I have spent quite some time investigating however I've not been able to crack this issue. Below are a few links that I think may be on track and related system information.
