Hi,
I do realize this isnt the right place for the query, but I really dint
know where else to ask.
My fedora system cannot burn dvds properly. That is, my laptop burner
and the new USB burner I got just today. I'm using "wodim" and it
continually wastes dvds.
Here is an example:

I thought it was caused due to a faulty drive. However, as you can see,
the new USB drive I got just today gives the same errors. Please advise
a course of action.

Well, what makes you think this isn't the right place ? :). Of course,
you'd get
more people trying to help you if you posted on fedora-list[1], so you should
consider posting there, but posting here is fine too.
My fedora system cannot burn dvds properly. That is, my laptop
burner
and the new USB burner I got just today. I'm using "wodim" and it
continually wastes dvds.
I don't know about wodim, but here are some tips to narrow down the problem:
a. Check that the ISO file you are trying to burn isn't corrupt. Quick way would
be to mount it:
$ mount -o loop -t iso9006 Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso /mnt
$ ls /mnt
...if that works, do a shasum check:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify
b. If the ISO file is ok, try another tool like k3b or brasero (in fact, if I am
not mistaken, with an ISO file even a dd should work fine -- i remember doing
that a couple of times)
c. If writing still fails, I'd suspect the media. Try blank media from a
different set /brand -- sometimes one just gets unlucky with bad quality media.
d. If all else fails report back here or on fedora-list.

tried both brasero and k3b.. no difference.. just more additions to my

I've tried both sony and moserbaer (the only ones you get here) .. its
too much of a coincidence if all the dvds i purchase end up bad :(

I've even tried a USB writer (which i purchased in case my laptop writer
was broken). However, same results. The USB writer gets "offlined" as
dmesg says. This is followed by "rejecting IO to dead device" ( i
checked and /dev/sr1 no longer exists). Another wasted dvd.
These are the logs from the latest failed burns:
http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/temp.txt
http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/brasero-session.log
I used brasero this time. I can try more dvds with k3b and wodim and
post results if you want, if that'll help set it right. FYI, dvds burn
perfect on my vista (i use a dual boot), which saddens me further :(.

hi,
More info:
This ones from wodim..
It burnt the entire thing and failed on "Fixating".. Sooo close :(
wodim output[1]
dmesg output[2]
you'll notice the "offlined device" that i had mentioned here.

Hmm, just curious did you try booting with this DVD ? Fixating a disk only means
closing it off (I think it implies zeroing all remaining space on the disk). So,
it *might* be possible that all relevant data has been written and the DVD is
usable. I am just guessing here though.
Another thought that occurred to me is that it is also possible that you need a
firmware update for your drive. No kidding ! :).
I've seen at least 3 instances of laptops that needed firmware updates for DVDs
to work correctly. 2 dell model (D610 and D620) and my own lenovo Y410 (although
when i purchased it the update was already applied).
http://tinyurl.com/ybsouoe [Dell D610 update]
http://tinyurl.com/ya8jjjo [Dell D620 update]
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_892.html
I don't have any thoughts about your external sony writer tho'.
I'd recommend that you check if firmware updates are available for your system,
and apply them and if that does work or there aren't any, i'd recommend that you
submit a bugzilla report describing your problem.

I've checked every dvd that's failed (hoping something was burnt). My
system showed this latest one as a blank dvd :$

I'll check up on the firmware upgrade and post. However, since windows
burns dvds properly, I think its unlikely that a firmware upgrade is
needed.

hi,
Checked up on the product page[1]
No firmware updates for the drive.
What component should I file a bug against (kernel?)? Separate bugs for
the inbuilt and the USB drives?
Guess I'll have to boot into windows to burn *fedora* media till then.
@Steve thank you for all your help.

I'd say start at application level first. File against one application and
mention in your BZ that the problem is not app. specific. Let the developer make
the call to escalate to the kernel. The kernel guys hate it when people just
assume it is the kernel's fault without solid proof. By pointing out that is
works on windows will make them even more angry :). In your case it looks like a
kernel fault, but in many cases, it just happens that all userspace application
eventually go through some userspace library which is at fault rather than the
kernel. (For example bluetooth, usb devices which go through libusb etc)
Guess I'll have to boot into windows to burn *fedora* media till
then.
Well, not necessarily. You do know that you can do installs from media on HDD
too right ?[1]
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-install-guide-en/fc4/sn-installing-f...
Just copy the iso's to your windows partition (assuming it is FAT /not/ ntfs --
dunno the current status, but last i checked install from HDD supported only
ext[23] and fat)
@Steve thank you for all your help.
No probs.

hey!
This one worked. Only for the laptop writer though.
For the USB, it said :
[Ankur@Ankur ~]$ growisofs -dvd-compat

:-( unable to open64("/dev/sr1",O_RDONLY): Permission denied
I think installing "growisofs set-root-uid" as the man page says should
work.. I'll try that.

Interesting to know growisofs worked but wodim didn't. I'd suggest you trace
down the problem and/or file a bug against wodim and other apps that failed. So
that they are able to handle whatever the problem was in the manner growisofs
does or failing that, error out in a meaningful manner which would point to the
source of the problem.
As for the second error also file a bug against growisofs or debug it further
and file a bug against the right component (most likely would turn out to be a
problem with HAL or udev).
I'd suggest getting a re-writeable CD/DVD media tho' :)
cheers,
- steve
PS: Please *do* file a bug even if you aren't that much into debugging. Lack of
bugs is what causes others to comment -- it works on windows but doesn't on linux.

its because the ACL of my USB drive does not contain "Ankur" as user

Dont really think its a bug. Ill confirm with what the man page has to

Yeah, I will file bugs (wodim and brasero currently, maybe k3b once I
waste a few dvds on that). I like bugzilla :)
