Copies of Audio CDs made by Brasero are not functional

[Louis Simard]

Binary package hint: brasero

After copying an Audio CD via Brasero, the new CD copy does not work. It tries to read for well over a minute, then gives up. No icon appears in GNOME, no mount point appears at all, etc. However, the original CD does function.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy an Audio CD via Brasero: insert audio CD in drive, tell Brasero to use the same drive for the blank CD... and follow the instructions.
2. Use the 'eject' command at a terminal, because the eject button at the front of the CD-ROM drive does not work (for this, see bug 395814).
3. Reload the same CD in the drive.

dmesg output for when the CD is reloaded (step 3) is attached. I didn't save the Brasero log for step 1.

* * I have no more blank CDs to test this on, nor do I have any more CD-RWs. Therefore, I have no choice but to pass the baton for confirming and investigating this bug to someone else. * *

FYI: I was unable to reproduce this in Ubuntu 8.10 (Brasero version 0.8.2-0ubuntu1). The disc copy worked as expected, including automatically ejecting the disc. The resulting copy played fine.

#2: Do you mean 8.10 or 9.10? I'm using 9.10.

also, I forgot: here's the information about the CD burner I'm using, since I suppose this is going to be highly device-dependent (might even be something to do with udev?)

This CD-ROM drive comes as standard on HP Pavilion a6218x PCs.

Thanks for the report Louis, could you send this upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org since you're getting the issue there? that works fine for me with the instructions you gave us above, thanks.

After a recent Brasero update in the Ubuntu repositories, I don't have this problem anymore, using the BraseroWodim burning backend as shown in 'brasero --brasero-burn-debug'.

I can't set invalid with " status invalid", apparently
