Bug Description

Binary package hint: brasero wodim

brasero 2.26.1 on ubuntu 9.04 jaunty, all updates applied as of July 09, 2009.

DVD ISO images, both DVD-Video and DVD-ROM images, fail to burn, data discs created in brasero also fail. A sample brasero log follows, in this instance the image was of a 4.1Gb DVD-Video. I have been living with this problem since upgrading from ubuntu 8.10 (in which brasero worked fine).

I dual-boot with Windows XP and the same image writes ok using Nero on the same hardware, using media from the same spindle.

Hi, I've found this error also occurs during 'simulation' mode, so that should remove my writer hardware and media completely from the equation. At least I can stop wasting media now as I try different things.

Also, I've found at this forum, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7493563, a user experiencing the same symptoms and like that user I have also tried reinstalling wodim and other cdr/dvd related packages. Like this user, I performed an upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. The user on the forum mentions the problem disappeared after a clean install, which I will soon have to try.

Could the issue be related to something left over from ubuntu 8.10 upsetting the packages for 9.04?

Best Regards,

Noel.

Desperately need to get this resolved, I performed a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 and applied all updates.

Burning still fails - the logs show the same error - specifically this line:
...
BraseroWodim stderr: Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error
...

For now I'll keep booting into Windows to write to CD/DVDs.

Regards,

Noel.

Having read an article about bugs in wodim and all sorts of controversy with the original cdrtools, I managed to replace the cdrecord and mkisofs on my system with 'originals' from
http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html

A simulation burn passed but my delight was short lived as again, an error occurred halfway through the write and the log shows the same issue:

BraseroCDRecord stderr: cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error

Does it matter that I'm using SATA hdd and dvdrw? The drive controller in my system is :
Intel Corporation 82801FR/FRW (ICH6R/ICH6RW) SATA Controller (rev 03)

I'll now revert my system back to the original wodim packages and I'll investigate what this 'write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error' is all about.

A victorious workaround! - I installed Nero Linux Trial 3.5.2.1 and it so far works beautifully. I've managed to write discs that have so far failed, using the same ISO images.

Of course I'd rather use the native utilities, however I've abandoned those until I learn more about this bug, or it finally is resolved in an update...

Importance "Low"!!!? Just remember that Brasero is a CD/DVD burning software, and because of this bug it CAN'T BURN DVD's ¬¬

Five versions of Ubuntu had been passed with this problem, thousands of DVD's were wasted and the community had not been officially alerted by developers (and they had been alerted by the community).

Brasero is a very big fail in Ubuntu from many points of view: ecological, economical, technical...

Sorry, I'm not the kind of people who get so mad with bugs, but I found very irresponsible the treatment of this one.

Hi,

the initial error report of 2009 is probably due to a hardware problem
in the computers bus controller, or the cabling, or the drive's bus
controller.

wodim reported the error wrongly, because it does not recognize the error
message format, which is not supposed to be issued by a CD drive.

The error codes are rather: Key= 0xB, ASC= 0, ASCQ= 0.
This means "Command aborted". I.e. Linux decided to abort the WRITE
transaction to block 0x16C7E = 93310. No reason given. (Maybe in dmesg ?)

One can find several reports about this error message and its
misinterpretation by cdrecord, wodim, or growisofs.

Whatever, the error is neither the fault of Brasero nor of the burn program
wodim.

The drive reports that it is not ready to write to block 0x256B = 9579.
That's a drive internal problem.

This is simply a Medium Error, i.e. a problem between drive and medium.
No software on the Linux side of the cable is to blame.

Totally unrelated.

The drive reports that it is not ready to write to block 0x1F9B = 8091.
About the same problem as in

> BraseroCDRecord stderr: cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error

That's what cdrecord and wodim say when they get Key=0xB in the unexpected
error reply format.

This is a problem between drive and medium, reported in the expected format.

The drive did not like the mediumi state. Maybe it was already written.
