Bug Description

Binary package hint: brasero

I'm currently on Jaunty 9.04 and trying to burn a CD from an ISO. I right-click, select "Burn to CD" in Nautilus and brasero comes up. Everything looks good, I confirm that I want to burn, it goes through "Writing the checksum", "Calculating Cue Sheets", but then once it actually starts burning, it immediately says there's an error. The output is included in brasero-session.log. However, the main error line is "Errno: 5 (Input/output error), read track info scsi sendcmd: no error"

I have no idea what that means, but apparently it has something to do with wodim. The root cause may or may not lie with that, I'm not entirely sure, but if someone can fix this out it'll be really great. Thanks!

Another thing I noticed. This problem only happens with CDs. When I try to burn the ISO to a DVD, I don't encounter anything wrong. I'm not sure if that's just the problem with CDs only, or maybe it's the ISO is large. But the ISO is 148.4 MB and the CD can hold up to 700 MB, so unless there's some sort of compression it's probably not too big. And additionally I would think that Brasero would be able to tell me if there's a problem with size. So, it's interesting.

Thanks for your report, could you run brasero from the command line as: brasero --brasero-media-debug --debug &> brasero-debug.txt perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach the resulting file to the report?. Thanks in advance

Hi Pedro & cactuar,

I think I have the same or similar issue. Almost everytime I try to burn a CD, I get an error through Brasero.

I've attached a session log and will also attach debug text.

Hi Pedro,

Is there anything else I can provide to help locate or fix this issue?

Also, is there a recommended workaround for now? / Eric

This may be a wodim problem or a hald problem.

I recommend you first upgrade to recent original software from:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

http://cdrecord.berlios.de/

and check again with the original cdrecord. If this does not help,
you may add a different write mode (in this case: -raw96r).
If it works with the original cdrecord and raw96r, this is caused by
a hald bug.

In my case running brasero with sudo seemed to work.
