As requested by Schily, I stopped the hald process [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /etc/init.d/hal stop * Stopping Hardware abstraction layer hald [ OK ]
and I did : cdrecord dev=0,1,0 -V blank=fast -v | tee cdrecordNOhald.lst (I copied the terminal output too) then cdrecord dev=0,1,0 -V blank=fast -v 2> cdrecordNOhaldStderr.lst both files are in the attachment as a single file In both cases the command finished successfully (after blocking the window manager for a while). Everything went smooth afterwards. The disk is indeed erased. Now what can we do about the hald service ? Doesn't look good to have to stop it to burn disks ! Many thanks for your input anyway. ** Attachment added: "cdrecord2.lst" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11303218/cdrecord2.lst -- cdrecord hangs with kernel >= 2.6.10 and cyberdrive cdrw https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
