CD/DVD Writer - not working

Hi, Have Opensuse 11.1 Gnome, recently upgraded from 10.3 -
I have found that I’m unable to write to cd/dvd, the dvd drive doesn’t reconize blank cd/dvd’s as being a recordable media. I have tried Brasero and the Gnome dvd burn, but they have the same trouble being “Please insert a recordable cd or dvd. There is not recordable medium inserted”
I must be missing a driver/codec or something, can you please let me know if you can help. This is a new problem I have found since moving away from the 10.3 edition.

Are you updated?

In a su terminal do:

zypper ref

then

zypper up

Thanks caf, that fixed it and it was easy. Cheers!

Very pleased to hear it was that simple.:wink:

I have the same problem and ran zapper ref and up but not help. Could it be because of the repositories that I have chosen.
I am on a laptop and OS is 2.6.27.21-0.1-default.

This is showed zypper ref showed and there was no problem when zypper up was ran, there were 72 updates:
linux-py0r:~ # zypper ref

Thanks for any help you can give.
