failed to burn some gpg keys to DVD (less than 1mb in small files)

[Martin Olsson]

Binary package hint: brasero

I tried to burn some small files (gpg keys) to a DVD and it failed... then I tried to burn the same files again but this time I also added a single 8mb video file just to make it bigger. Still failed. I've not tried burning anything in jaunty before so it might very well be that it fails for all DVDs.

For example, I was worried when I saw this (even though its marked as fixed): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/307939

In general this is a desktop box which was cleanly installed from the jaunty RC and then upgraded. The DVD burner is also a blueray burner and a CD burner and it's from LG and the specific model for it is "GGW-H20L".

I should also say that when burning it brasero it looks like it's working, it takes a lot of times... it count up the megabytes (to about 10mb which I was burning) and then in the very end it fails and asks if I want to save or view the session log).

I was able to burn the same files using k3b and that program didn't show any error. However, just now I also took one of the two failed DVDs and put it into my other computer and it can see the files on there even though brasero clearly said it failed?

This is the only thing that was added to dmesg while I did two failed burns:

Thanks for the report, it looks you're using wodim, could you install & test the same with growisofs? thanks.

[Martin Olsson (mnemo)]

@Pedro, What is growisofs and how can I try it?

[Schily (schilling-fokus)]

There is no useful information on the problem but
the problem may be caused by growisofs. Fetch
recent original cdrtools from:

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

and write the image manually using cdrecord.

Thanks for the report Martin Olsson , It has been a long time without any comment or a duplicate in this bug report and It is possible that the bug has been fixed. May you please try to reproduce it with the latest Stable Release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal and add the respective comments to the report? You can learn how to get that release at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
