Bug Description
Ran 'apt-get install udftools'
I configured /etc/default/
DEVICES="/dev/hdc"
UDEV=true
NEWINT=true
#NEWINTNAMES="0 1 2 3"
The /dev/pktcdvd/* files were not created during the install, so I ran 'dpkg-reconfigure udftools', which made the /dev/pktcdvd/* files. That those files were created is what makes me think that I do have kernel support for packet writing to dvd's.
Then I tried the cdrwtool command in the combinations listed below, with the various errors I report.
levander@bread:~ $ cdrwtool -t 10 -d /dev/hdc -q
setting speed to 10
using device /dev/hdc
1088KB internal buffer
setting write speed to 10x
wait_cmd: Operation not permitted
Command failed: bb 00 ff ff 06 e0 00 00 00 00 00 00 - sense 00.00.00
set speed

Have been working on this for days. Have a post on ubuntuforums.org, arstechnica.com, and the ubuntu-users list. Am really starting to think the udftools package just doesn't work, because in my searching I've only found a few people trying to get it to work, but nobody telling them how to.

After having seen comments here and there about udftools, have come to the slow realization that udftools just flat out does not work. If this is the case, you guys should really put a notice in the package, and really even in the package description so that people see it before they even download it that udftools does not work. Or, at least something along the lines of, "only works with a limited range of hardware and specific version 2.4 kernels that have a packet writing patch applied to them". This way, people all over the planet don't waste two or three days trying to get this thing installed on their system like I did.
The good news is that packet writing is now officially included in the linux kernel. And, that does seem to be the problem with udftools, talking to the hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't just a function of porting the current udftools to the new packet writing apis in the kernel. That, and implementing the updates to the udf spec that they've been making.
