"copy disk" blocks at end

[Vincenzo Ciancia]

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

I right click on the cd icon and choose "copy disk" then select the image to write to, at the end of the progressbar the program waits there forever. The irritating thing :) is that you can only press "cancel", and that will delete the image that you've waited for! "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=filename.iso" works fine.

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you activate the gconf key /apps/nautilus-cd-burner/debug and get a debug log?

[Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml)]

I just discovered that the process is completed after some time, getting errors on the last sector. I can remember similar problems using dd one year ago, but don't know what is the cause - maybe block size in read(). The log is self-explanatory. Thank you for your prompt support.

and running the same commands from the command line produce no error?

[Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml)]

I didn't notice that it uses readcd externally. It gives the same error (I changed cd but not the name of the ISO, that's why number of sectors differs). I even "prevu"-ed wodim, and tried readom, but it's the same, both logs follow. "dd" seems to give no error but it is hanging at end, too.

I thought this only happened to my office old machine, instead this happens on my laptop running feisty too, both with readcd and readom. I can add that in /var/log/messages I find:

Feb 6 15:07:33 frattaglia kernel: [ 2418.092000] ata1: DRQ=1 with device error, dev_stat 0x59

This should be reproducible by anyone, at this point.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

your new comment are not perfectly clear. You get the same problem using readcd and readom directly which means that's a cdrecord problem?

[Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml)]

Yes you are right, I could change this myself but am unsure if the bug should be reported to cdrecord or wodim - I guess both of them. BTW this is a problem that I observed often, I mean blocking at end and exiting with error for processes that read from cds.

[Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml)]

It was cdrkit in both cases :)

[Mauro Infantino (mauro-infantino)]

Well... Has anyone been able to find a workaround for this bug?
I have to open a terminal whenever I want to copy a CD and if I forget readom eats the whole CPU after the error message provided by Vincenzo.
dd works perfectly.

This is my output:

[Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml)]

Mauro, are you running feisty or gutsy? Please mark the bug as confirmed in both cases.

[Mauro Infantino (mauro-infantino)]

Confirmed for Feisty

[Simon Paton (simonmcpaton)]

I had the same problem with clicking on a mounted CD on the desktop and doing "copy disk"- it also waited forever and went over the number of sectors it should have. I tried dd if=x of=y and that worked fine...and quickly too. I saw that it used readom when trying to do "copy disk".

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

If this is still happening for anyone could you dump the toc of the disk?
