This may be related. On burning a second disc, I encountered a situation where XFBurn would be determining the disc speed. I could hear the DVD- RW drive hunting back and forth for several minutes like it could never find the start of the disc. I clicked the Stop button which quite often doesn't stop. Presumably XFBurn is waiting on disc drive status before doing anything including aborting.
I also had Thunar open at the same time. Closing Thunar ended the hunting and Thunar proceeded to the abort. Unfortunately, XFBurn apparently wrote to the disc and ruined it. Now there is a small percentage of a chance, the disc media had a flaw that made Thunar think it was a valid burned disc and was auto mounted. Causing Thunar and XFBurn to fight over who had control. On other occasions, I have had Thunar and/or XFBurn crash at the end of the burn. Or XFBurn reporting that there was an error in burning the disc. When in fact the disc reads completely fine. Thus, a false error. Which I suspect results from Thunar or the auto mounting process stealing control of the drive away from XFBurn. After the burn, the disc is valid media and is attempted to be auto mounted. Seems to be a glitch between XFBurn switching between writing and reading modes. A matter of timing. Also might be related: First off, XFBurn does not detect a blank disc in a second disc drive. It apparently only checks the first drive. When selecting the second drive from the drop down list, it reverts to the first drive model. However, clicking the rescan button does detect the disc in the second drive. In some cases, these conditions require a reboot to clean the problems. Seems also to be dependent on models of drives. Some drives seem to work better than others. Either the drives aren't complying to standards, or software is using or relying on features and uniqueness to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881888 Title: unable to burn more than one disc without a reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfburn/+bug/881888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
