Public bug reported: Ubuntu 11.04, i386 brasero 2.32.1-0ubuntu2
My CDRW device: scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NS30 2.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 I needed to fix my Linux box that cannot boot so I burned Supergrub2 to my pocket CDRW disk. No problem. I fixed my PC with Supergrub2 disk. http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso I wanted to burn PartedMagic 6.6 to my pocket CDRW disk. I did this many times before but it was not working this time, I received message that there is no usable disk in my CDRW burner. I expected message that Disk has to be blanked before it can be used. It looked like my system is broken and cannot burn CDRW anymore. I blanked my CDRW disk with wodim and it fixed the problem: # wodim dev=/dev/scd0 blank=fast Once the disk was blanked, it works as expected. I guess that SuperGrub2 disk triggers some bug in Brasero. All blank/burn was done on the same PC (Ubuntu 11.04) with the same disk and drive. Steps to repeat the issue: 1) download and burn SuperGrub2 ISO disk to your CDRW disk. http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso 2) try to burn (or blank) other ISO image to your CDRW disk with SuperGrub2 (use Braseiro or Gnome file manager) Details about my CDRW drive and CDRW disk: # wodim -atip Device was not specified.
