ignore additional info ... caused by logging the bug There are two possible reasons for your problem: 1) You are not using cdrecord but a defective fork called "wodim" 2) You are using low quality blank media from CMC For 1): use the original cdrecord from cdrecord.berlios.de For 2): use good media from e.g. Verbatim This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Jorg: You missed an important point.He used dummy write command which isnt supposed to write ANYTHING to the media. 2) We are forced into using this wodim SHIT by RedHat/Fedora due to licensing bull that open projects, including debian now are forced to use.I dont agree with it either.We should be using cdrecord and the like.I dunno why things are CDDL and not GPL but they are.Everything now depends on wodim/cdrkit. Hi, you miss important points:
1) Pioneer of course supports emulation writes and as this is a CD medium,
the expected results would look exactly like an attempt for a real write.
2) The only people who try to "force" you to use wodim are anti-social
amateurs that never asked a lawyer. All companies that asked specialized
lawyers ship the original cdrtools and SuSE did even ban cdrkit.
3) One important reason why cdrtools uses the CDDL is defense against
the attacks from Debian and this can easily be proven by the timeline:
- May 2004: Debian started social attacks against cdrtools and initiated
a defective fork.
- December 2004: Debian was asked to replace the hostile packager to
no avail.
- Autumn 2005: Debian claimed cdrecord changed it's license but 100%
of cdrecord have been under GPL at that time. Not a single line
changed it's license at that time.
- May 2006: The license was changed. Cdrecord since then is 100% CDDL
Debian however still claims a GPL problem in cdrecord and this way
completely lost credibility.
- September 2006: Debian was told to change the name for the defective
fork. Short time later, Debian changed the name and claimed to have
"created" a fork, but this so called fork just implements exactly
all the bugs introduced by the Debian fork from May 2004.
