Hi, i am looking for volunteers with up-to-date Debian Testing, a CD/DVD/BD burner, Brasero, and the willingness to reboot after bug 998718 struck.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998718 indicates that a DVD drive ASUS DRW-24D5MT gets disconnected from the kernel when Brasero tries to write a Debian netinst ISO to a CD-RW medium. The drive then gets reconnected with another device file (probably /dev/sr1) which becomes target of the /dev/cdrom link and works. But the old device file (/dev/sr0) does not vanish and lures software into using it, which then fails with a kernel error that indicates a bad connection to the drive. Only rebooting resolves this mess. The bug is only observed with Brasero on Testing. K3B, wodim and xorriso burn CD-RW without spoiling the relation of kernel and drive. Brasero does not cause the problem if run on Debian Stable. My question is whether this happens with other drives too, i.e. whether the ASUS firmware has a particular stake in the bug. Please send answers to 998...@bugs.debian.org Cc: mauro.sacche...@gmail.com Have a nice day :) Thomas
