This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Honza Horak 2011-01-20 10:51:32 UTC
I'm not sure if this issue can be caused by cdrdao or brasero.

You can check whether SCSI or CD drive notice any important errors:
dmesg | grep -i -e scsi -e cd-rom -e cdrom -e `ls -l /dev/cdrom | awk '{print $11}'`

Or you can try to boot from USB Live Fedora 14 and test if the problem is still there.

Comment 3 Honza Horak 2011-02-21 08:55:13 UTC
It seems to be a bug in udev, as more users noticed the same behaviour (see Ubuntu issue tracker discussion with a lot important info: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/udev/+bug/581925). 

However, it seems to be already solved and fixed in upstream:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=1ef6c9e9f0f405d1fed403c13c57a233a484bed7
and it's now present in Rawhide and Fedora 14 updates. 

But it is not in Fedora 13, though.

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2011-02-21 09:07:38 UTC
what is the output of:

# udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sr0

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2011-05-31 11:07:23 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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

Comment 6 Gregor Hlawacek 2011-05-31 12:33:00 UTC
Don't have F13 anymore can not reproduce

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2011-06-28 11:28:19 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
