Description of problem: After a recent update from July 3, trying to burn an ISO, the error "Failed to Initialize Drive" popped up from using Brasero. A similar error occurs while trying to burn with Nautilus. Upon ejecting, the drive shuts immediately, and can only be unmounted manually via the command line. How reproducible: Every attempt to burn received the same error. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to write data to CD/DVD. 2. Eject media. Actual results: No data is copied, and drive fails to unmount, closing on disk. Expected results: Data gets written to disk, eject disk successfully.
Joining this bug as I have this eject and burning problem since update 4th july on intel duo F9 x86_64 and Amd64 F9 x86_64 as well. Real pain as I have successfully managed to wipe out my burners on both machines by the updating. Have to boot to windows till fix I suppose.
Or set the driver writable via chmod chmod +w /dev/sr0

Seemed to have mucked up the above post. Should say that I was looking at udev rules etc to see if I could trace a problem that may be causing this cd/dvd error. The chmod only works for the disc in the machine and the wrote permissions get set back on eject if you can actually get the disc out quick enough.Anyway looking around it seems to me that a whole set of code is not getting recognised. I jsut wonder if this may be having an impact.
I can confirm this bug on a F9 x86_64 installation, starting after the July 3rd update. After downgrading the udev package from udev-124-1.fc9.1.x86_64 to udev-120-5.20080421git.fc9.x86_64, everything was working fine again.
Can you give me the command line to do this. I keep getting the error libc.so.6.1 with several (64 bit) options is required. I have downloaded the git rpm above.
I did the downgrade with rpm -Uvh --oldpackage http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/udev-120-5.20080421git.fc9.x86_64.rpm
Thank you it worked a dream
Downgrading worked with the x86 package as well. Thank you for your help.
Todays upgrade to udev-124-1.fc9.2 fixed the issues with burning CDs/DVDs, but the ejection issue still remains, although it's simple enough to unmount manually for now.
I do not know if this helps or still applies, before I downgraded I discovered that ejecting from front panel of the drives would still grab back, but if before the disk was read again I ejected a second time the tray would remain open. I am still in 2 minds whether to bother with udev-124-1.fc9.2 as it looks as if this is only a temp fix, but now I know how to downgrade I suppose not too much of an issue.
So it is issue with udev? Changing component to udev...
I have udev-124-1.fc10.i386 and I am still having the DVD burning problem. The DVD devices aren't getting chown'd to me when I put in a DVD, they're staying owned by root, which is why I can't write to the DVD.
Please provide the output of: $ getfacl /dev/cdrom
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. 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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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
I'm pretty certain this is fixed in F11.
