Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: k3b
I have Kubuntu Feisty with all the upgrades up to today in a Core 2 Duo E6400 -
MB Intel DQ965GF (which uses the PATA Marvell to control IDE), with 1GB RAM,
DVD+RW LG GSA-H22N.
Using K3B to burn a DVD+R causes the system to freeze just after concluding the
burning process. The system simply hangs and do not come back anymore. The
mouse freezes too, and no combinations like CTRL-ALT-BS or CTRL-ALT-F1 ... F6
do work. The only solution to come back is the RESET button. Ping from the
network do not work either ... the machine simply freezes completely.
Burning CDs instead of DVDs do not result in the same thing. They conclude
without problem (even though it does not eject the CD as in the past).
I read some of the other bugs which seem to be similar to this one, but I
decided to report, because neither of them are exactly like mine. In bug 104345
the reporter can still shutdown the system. In bug 110484, the reporter reports
the crash only in its second trial of burning a DVD. In bug 91200 the system
freezes just after the DVD is inserted. My case is different because it only
freezes AFTER the burning process ends (I have the impression that it freezes
while trying to EJECT the drive tray but this is just an impression). The DVD
is successfully burned (it works, after all). I'm using the last kernel
2.6.20-16, but the same was happening with the 2.6.20-15. The K3b package is
the 1.0-0ubuntu2
To repeat the bug is just a matter of burning another DVD ... I tried that 3
times. Just after concluding the burning process (using 16x - decided
automatically) the system hangs on and dies. The burning process concludes with
sucess ... the media is correctly burned and works perfectly. I'm using a
Philips media 1-16x. In each trial I used a different content (just to assure
that the problem was not due to something in the content being burned).
I'm marking this bug as a security vulnerability, because the integrity of the
system is compromised. The system simply get paralized.
