Hello all, I cannot write CDs anymore. The only thing i changed lately was an upgrade to cdrtools-2.01-r3 from r2 some days ago. Now nearly all attempts to burn an audio CD end with an error. After some of the mistakes (using k3b) I searched the forum and found some postings on problems writing CDs as normal user. So I tried the ck-sources (2.6.11_p10) as these were said to have a patch, no change. The last thing I tried was using cdrecord as root (both with the ck-sources and the gentoo-sources-2.6.11), but I still get errors like the following:
Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 45236016/45236016 (19233 sectors). Track 02: Total bytes read/written: 57692208/57692208 (24529 sectors). cdrecord: Success. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 2A 00 00 00 DD CF 00 00 1B 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 10 20 31 00 80 02 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x02 Qual 0x00 (no seek complete) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) resid: 63504 cmd finished after 5.457s timeout 40s write track data: error after 29910384 bytes cdrecord: A write error occured. cdrecord: Please properly read the error message above. cdrecord: Success. close track/session: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 5B 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 10 20 3B 00 80 02 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x02 Qual 0x00 (no seek complete) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 4.906s timeout 480s cmd finished after 4.906s timeout 480s cdrecord: Cannot fixate disk. I even tried different media types, all of them were used before without any problems (I think I lost only 2 CD-Rs in over 2 years) so I would say it is not any bad media. What makes me wonder is that once I could finish writing a CD-R and once with an CD-RW (using k3b as user) the other ~8 tries were failures. Any hints what could be the problems?
