extract to library can get stuck due to CD errors

[davygrvy]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I got this one CD disc with a manufacturing defect on track 9 of 15. The extraction disc writing stops at track 9. The CD is stuck and can't get past the errors. rhythmbox doesn't time-out. It's stuck, too.

Steps to reproduce:

1) grab a CD you hate and scratch at the top where the label paint is to get down to the aluminum layer to make a defect.
2) try to extract it and watch the cd-rom drive get stuck into an infinite skip.
3) Watch rhythmbox not time-out and get stuck, too.
4) Notice the lack of a 'Stop extraction' button.

why someone would like to put a scratched cd into the driver? and expect it to work? that's not a software bug at all.

Pedro, you misread. When the disk can't be read due to a CD flaw, there is no way to cancel the extract.

cannot cancel a cd extraction process is a known issue and being tracked on bug 223023
