[Bug 780117] Re: Brasero finishes without error but unusable media [on-the-fly mode] (Ubuntu 11.04 -12.04)
Hello, I confirm that the patch works fine on Precise. So, +1 for going to release on Precise Technical details: a 32 bit Precise fresh live usb was confirmed to have the bug with the default Brasero 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 and a DVD RW. After enabling the proposed repository and the update to 3.4.1-0ubuntu1.1, the problem is solved (even without a reboot, on the same DVD, after blanking it with the dvd+rw-format commands).

I do confirm that this proposed patch resolves this nasty bug on quantal. So, from my point of view, this is a big THANK YOU to all the upstream developers and the smart Ubuntu guys!!! Some notes (I always use a fresh standard live 32 bit USB key with the same DVD-RW): - the patch is still not proposed on 11.10 and 12.04 (see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/), so I cannot rightly test it there - the unreadable coasters produced from other Ubuntu versions are seen as blank disk from standard brasero 12.10, and can be easily blanked with it. This is different from old versions of brasero that does not recognise it at all as a DVD medium. - the bug (don't ask me why) is quite different on 12.10. Here sometimes you can have a readable DVD, but never on the first recording! It seems that it's somehow and sometimes able to record a second recording session on what it thinks it's a blank disk. +1 for going to stable on quantal! ** Changed in: brasero (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Fix Committed = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780117 Title: Brasero finishes without error but unusable media [on-the-fly mode] (Ubuntu 11.04 -12.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/brasero/+bug/780117/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi Ayan, thank you for the support and dedication - I really appreciate it. I've made a couple of tests, on a fresh 12.04 standard 64 bit installation. - a default data burnt DVD is still unreadable. As already pointed out, it is not even anymore possible to change (nor see) the on-the-fly option - after applying your PPA, there is no problem at all So, from my point of view, go on urgently with the patch! Note: for testing, use a DVD-RW. And resurrect it with: sudo dvd+rw-format -force /dev/cdrw sudo dvd+rw-format -lead-out /dev/cdrw Thank you again, Nico -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780117 Title: Brasero finishes without error but unusable media [on-the-fly mode] (Ubuntu 11.04 -12.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/brasero/+bug/780117/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

YES, I do confirm both solutions: - the bring-again-to-life commands for RW disks of Tom Jaeger (thjaeger) on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/780117/comments/17 - the libisofs low priority fix of Cyrus Lien (cyruslien) I've tested both on an fresh USB Live of Ubuntu 11.10.
