Brasero hangs at creating checksum for ISO and does not continue

[Linuxexperte]

Binary package hint: brasero

Hi at the developers,
since this evening I have a very hard problem with brasero. As usual, I had put in an empty DVD (4.7GB) because I wanted to burn two videos, which I had downloaded. Brasero opened and I could choose Video-CD. Then I could add the video-files.
It also checked the sice of the disc and started to burn. When I clicked on the button "burn" in my first try, brasero closed without giving any error-message.

At the second try, Brasero opened as usual and I couold choose Video again. Then I clicked on "burn" and it started to burn. But when it came to "creating checksum for ISO" after the burning, the process didn't complete although I waited more than half an hour. The process didn't complete and didn't go further.

I recognised this, because normally, brasero pushes out the CDs automaticly after having completed the process. But this time, it didn't. Now I have tried it two times (After the first try, I got all updates and upgrades via Terminal. And in this upgrade this evening, there was also a brasero-update. I have let all the updates and upgrades completely run through and they installed without any problem.

Then I tried again, to burn this CD, but the same issue happened again.

So I thought, I give you a bug-report.

Then I give you the details about my system:

Distribution: LinuxMint 10
architecture x96_64
Desktop: Gnome-Desktop
Brasero-Version: 2.32.0-0ubuntu2.1

LinuxMint is ubuntu-based, so I think the same is true for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx as well as for Ubuntu-Natty.

I can't give any

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

hi developers,

first let mw say thank you for your attention to this problem. I found the solution myself in the meantime. The problems was deeper in my system and not so much Braseros fault. I didn't use a firewall or even ClamAv at that point and so I didn't know of this infection first. But after even the Synaptic started to behave strange, I checked my system via ClamAv and it found a systemwide infection.

I hadn't paid attention to a warning from my system and my ClamAv found out, that I had a corrupted system by a malware. This malware infected several installation-files of my system and that made Brasero and k3b not work for me. I had to store all my files to disk and reset my system. You can read more about that here:

There I had posted this problem too to find help with this. So you see, it is really good to use the system-own firewall and ClamAv even on LinuxMint. Bevore that I thought, that this would be really not nevessary. But I have learned my lesson!!
