I am having the same trouble on my HP 6510b laptop with an HP DVD 840 USB burner. The internal drive gives the same error, but I am not completely sure it is actually a DVD burner. =) Know issues previously burning DVDs, but I can't say for sure when I last tried it.
regarding pliz post: My parents machine started giving him these "exception Emask" errors. I just bought them a new Dell Inspiron 530, shipped with Gutsy. After putting in a second hard drive, installing Gutsy from the CD that came with it, upgrading to Hardy with the update manager, and installing all the updates, it started having trouble booting, giving errors like those found on this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846288&mode=linear Based on that post, I decided to roll him back to 7.10 and everything has been fine since. I expect this is why Dell is still shipping 7.10. I wonder if these issues are not related? It looks like a kernel issue to my ignorant eyes. From this post, it looks like there is a pretty wide set of hardware that is effected by this. I wonder if more people don't have the same problem and are just unaware because, like me, they just don't burn anything very often. I too would think this issue should have a higher priority by now, but that is just arguing semantics with which I am familiar: let's leave that decision to the contributor's. Remember, this is an LTS release, so it will get done, just be patient and/or find another way to burn for now (roll back, duel boot, burn on another machine, etc.). Keep the info coming, but save the gripping for some other venue, eh? I did get a giggle out of Andy's post sarcasm, but as he now knows, it was not fair and just caused confusion. This is a community effort and we all need to try to be constructive and supportive if we want things to improve. -- CD/DVD burning problem in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
