Description Ralph Loader 2008-09-27 00:42:05 UTC

Writing to a CD-RW disk is failing, apparently because wodim is forcing the speed to zero, whether or not the speed is specified on the command line.

The same disk has worked with previous versions.

I don't have any other disks of precisely the same manufacturer/type etc., so I can't completely rule out that the disk is damaged, but the failure appears to be before any attempt is made to actually write.

$ sudo wodim -v  blank=fast speed=2

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 03:14:36 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 2 Jörg Schilling 2009-01-24 22:15:06 UTC

This is another problem caused by the fact that RedHat does not
ship maintained original software.

Get recent original software from:

fto://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

compile and install as root.

Have fun with Bug-free software.

Long since fixed.

And please don't spam.

Comment 5 Jörg Schilling 2009-01-24 23:23:49 UTC

This bug is marked NEW and not fixed.

Please enlighten me on how to understand your comment.

Comment 6 Jörg Schilling 2009-01-25 00:13:30 UTC

What is the reason for marking the bug closed
without giving evidence for a fix?

Comment 7 Ralph Loader 2009-01-25 02:05:57 UTC

Just to state the bleeding obvious, I opened the bug and can no longer reproduce it.

Plus I have no particular desire to read inane spam from you.

If you can reproduce the bug, feel free to reopen.
