While brasero continues to have some possibly confusing reporting on the initial screen it now will actually go ahead & burn a 4.7GB iso to a dvd -r in 12.04, currently brasero (3.2.0-0ubuntu6) precise
So in that regard this bug can be considered fixed in 12.04 I will attach 2 screens to illistrate the possible confusing point Screen here is of a 4.7GB (4464MiB) iso, brasero shows iso size of 4.7GB, f ree space 4.3GB, but no longer refuses to burn ** Attachment added: "Screenshot at 2012-02-13 19:36:36.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/897550/+attachment/2737448/+files/Screenshot%20at%202012-02-13%2019%3A36%3A36.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897550 Title: Brasero thinks the capacity of a blank dvd -r is 4.3 GB when it's actually 4.7 GB or 4.3GiB Status in A disc burning application for gnome 2: New Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Starting in 11.10 nautilus reports file (iso) size in actual GB, but brasero incorrectly uses 4.3 GB as the capacity of a dvd -r The actual numbers of a dvd -r are available space - 4,706,074,624 bytes/2,297,888 sectors/4.7GB/4.38GIB So an iso that is near the true max file size of a dvd -r, while it will fit , is now rejected by brasero as being to large for the media Ex. - have an iso that can and has been burned to dvd -r Actual size - 4,691,394,560 bytes Nautilus/properties reports - 4.7 GB (4,691,394,560 bytes) Brasero shows iso size as 4.7 GB, media capacity as 4.3 GB, refuses to burn (as a comparison a dvd burner, ImgBurn, that just uses bytes/sectors for filesize & media avaialble space shows this & will burn iso size - 4,691,394,560 bytes/2.290.520 sectors : dvd -r media - Free Sectors: 2,297,888 ; Free Space: 4,706,074,624 bytes K3b use GIB so it also has no problems burning the above mentioned iso So it would seem brasero, gnome/nautilus, ubuntu need to get on the same page here & brasero needs to use the same method for both filesize & media capacity, either GB or GIB ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: brasero 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-1.3-generic 3.2.0-rc2 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-1-generic i686 ApportVersion: 1.90-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Nov 29 01:12:45 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20111126) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: brasero UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/brasero/+bug/897550/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
