Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wodim

I recently have tried to download and burn Ubuntu ISO images to CD. On
different computers (C2D on P35 board, Thinkpad T41), with different
drives (LiteOn DH20A1S, Toshiba SD-R5002, and IBM Ultrabay Slim DVD
Burner) and different media (Tevion, Platinum), I see "Input/Output
errors" during the installation, as described in

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/245794

The burn process (via Nautilus right-click) works without indication of
any error. However, when trying to dd if=/dev/scd0 of=test.iso back from
cd to hd, the copying will fail right before the end of the medium,
indicating an "input/output error". This happens every time with both
mentioned karmic machines I have around. md5sum of /dev/scd0 will also
fail. The amount of data where the errors occur before the proper end of
the medium is in a couple-of-dozen kilobytes range, but not
reproducible, in fact I have seen a differing amount for one misburned
cd.

To rule out a bad streak of luck, I downloaded and built current Schily
cdrtools from source. These work perfectly well from the command line,
and when burned without any further options, md5sum /dev/scd0 perfectly
matches the distribution md5 for the karmic iso (8790491b...).

Therefore, I assume there is a bug somewhere in the brasero/wodim stack,
and with the given symptoms (silent burn failure, obscure installation
errors in the process, coasters) it is a particularly nasty one. I did
not see any of the other bugs mention misburned cds after a silent
failure, so I post this new bug. Lacking an ample supply of blanks after
all the mis-burns, I do not feel much inclined right now to spend the
last remaining ones on trying to generate logs of the faulty case.
