Cannot install CD Burning Software

Hi

Have brasero and xfburn been removed from the 20.04 repositories ? If so is that because burning cds is considered passé. Maybe I’m old school!

Hi,
They're in the repositories.
sudo apt install -y brasero
sudo apt install -y xfburn

No

When I try to install either package it is says package is not available.

In Software & Updates, is Canonical Partners ticked in the Other software tab ?

It was unticked. I reloaded the repository at first but it still wouldn’t install. I then searched for the best server for my location and then everything came alive. Thanks for the support .

For anyone looking for the fix for the future the full error was:

Package packagename is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

I see Brasero in the Software Boutique

I use Synaptic and see K3b, Brasero, XFburn and Simple Burn in my repositories.
