Dapper: K3b aborts DVD burn with illegal seek error

[Timothy Miller]

I'm working on figuring out the exact circumstance, but about every other time I try to burn a DVD-R with K3b, just as it finishes making the ISO image and is about to start burning, it aborts with this error:

:-( unable to pread64(2) primary volume descriptor: input/output error
Fatal error at startup: Illegal seek

If I just reinsert the DVD and try again, it always works, so far.

Here's another error I just got today. k3b finished burning a DVD and ejected it. When it was going to reload it to verify, I got this error message:

growisofs did not exit cleanly.

I get the same but as it has written to the dvd i have a coaster

[Kenny Duffus (kduffus)]

error output from a failed dvd-r write

I think the more recent additions to this bug might be separate and are a duplicate of #31578, my bad

[Kenny Duffus (kduffus)]

new version of k3b packaged for #31578 which is the growisofs error

[Kenny Duffus (kduffus)]

please check whether the original error (unable to pread64(2) primary volume descriptor: input/output error) still occurs in the new package

Closing this bug since there has been no response to the question regarding whether the applied fix works. Please reopen if this is still a problem.
