When burning finished, CD is still empty!

[glin]

Binary package hint: gnomebaker

Ubuntu 7.10 - the Gutsy Gibbon - released in October 2007
GnomeBaker 0.6.2

When I copy an audio CD, everything goes OK on surface: start extracting, writing, and on my CD drive, the red light flashes, indicating it is burning. But actually, the "burned" CD is still blank after burning is done.

When I look at the details when it is burning, the track number keep changing, but the output message always saying:
...
start a new track at sector 0
start a new track at sector 0
start a new track at sector 0
...

I am wondering maybe it always writes on sector 0 without moving, so after it is done, it just writes everything on sector 0 repeatedly, the rest of disk is empty.

I have the same problem with 8.04 regardless of which burning software is used. I've got a combined CD/DVD burner and burning DVDs is no problem. Burning a CD image (Ubuntu installation CD) works as well. Burning audio to CD fails consistently. It did work with 7.10.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

[OiPenguin (lars-andreas-kvisle)]

Not reproducible. I suspect this has been related to the CD's I've been using. I've both a new stack of CD's and have changed to Linux Mint 6 RC1, but hav not had this problem in a long while.
