Description Bjoern 2008-07-04 21:34:15 UTC 
Today i discovered that i can no longer write CDs and DVDs.
It worked with Fedora9 and the first kernel (2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64) but with the
newer kernel (2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64 and 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.x86_64) it doesn't work.

I have tried it with two different CD/DVD-Writer: Samsung SH-S203 (SATA) and LG
GSA-H50L (IDE). So it is probably a general bug in the control of CD/DVD-Writers
or it has something to do with the driver of my mainboard (Intel DG33LT).

If i try to write a CD/DVD with one of the latest kernel nautilus just says:

"Error writing to disc

There was an error writing to the disc:
Unhandled error, aborting"

In /var/log/messages i found:

Jul  4 23:21:40 pc kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
Jul  4 23:21:40 pc kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
Jul  4 23:21:40 pc kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0
Jul  4 23:21:40 pc kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
Jul  4 23:21:40 pc kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0

And attached you can find the error log of brasero.

Hope some of this information help.
Let me know if you need some more information.

Today i have read a comment on planet.fedoraproject.org that writing CD/DVD as
users is currently broken so i tried it as root and it works.

So the problem only arises if i try to write a CD/DVD as a normal user. But it
must still be a kernel bug because with an older kernel i can write CD/DVD as a
user. Hope this helps to find the bug.

the latest udev update (version 124-1.fc9.2) has fixed the bug. So you can
probably close this bugreport.
