brasero cannot burn cd-rw successfully

[Jarno Suni]

Binary package hint: brasero

I burned a iso image to a Maxell 1-4x cd-rw by brasero using 4x speed (that was the only offered besides max speed). Brasero told it burned succesfully, but
command "cmp /dev/cdrom1 file.iso" output "cmp: /dev/cdrom1: Input/output error". BTW xfburn burned correctly to the same disc.

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

[Jarno Suni (jarnos)]

no, there is no "--debug" option for brasero.

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

You are correct. Please use

brasero --brasero-media-debug &> brasero-debug.txt

perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach the resulting file to the report?.

When I used the option, brasero couldn't even finish burning. Maybe the disc was damaged. (xfburn freezed with the same disc.)

I used 3 cd-rw from 2 different manufacturers on 2 computers (ubuntu 10.04.1) with same result. I/O errors were detectet when reading was almost done. I guess, brasero damages the disk when it finalise the disk.

Please use

brasero --brasero-media-debug &> brasero-debug.txt

perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach the resulting file to the report.

OK

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

hi. i am using ubuntu 12.04 on hp pavilion laptop with this optical unit:: scsi 3:0:0:0: CD-ROM Optiarc DVD RW AD-7581A BH05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 cdrom: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 sr 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0. brasero manages very well cds, but doesn't burn correctly dvds (it is like it enters in an infinite cycle; stopping it, it gives error messages, cannot closing disk or eject it) and doesn't recognize double face dvds (recognized as single face). I installed k3b and everything worked well.
