Comment 19 for bug 149076

This bug exists on Ubuntu (GNOME) 8.04 too.

Applications using wodim cannot burn any CD-R (multiple brands). The drive is an Optiarc AD5170A (IDE), the kernel is 2.6.24 (default 32bit shipping kernel).

There is no hardware problem with this machine. It works fine with Gutsy or Windows. This seems to be either a kernel or a wodim bug.

Example wodim output while attempting to burn an audio CD (through rhythmbox in this instance):
