Description Leonard Evens 2011-04-15 22:45:28 UTC
Description of problem:  I am running Fedora 14, 64 bit version.  When I use the default program for copying files to a CD or DVD---which I understand is brasero, it seems to write them, except for requiring a manual ejection.   But I have trouble reading the same CD (DVD) using the same system.  I get an error message, and the disk doesn't appear on my desktop.  Usually, if I click okay to the error message, I can go to Places, and I find the CD (DVD) which I can then open.  But often the copied files are corrupted.  I have this problem both with the built-in drive and an external USB drive.

It doesn't seem to depend on the write speed.

If I use Gnomebaker instead, I don't have problems creating the files disks or reading them.

I don't have similar problems on another machine running Fedora 13.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
brasero-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64
brasero-nautilus-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
I always have some problems but sometimes the files are copied correctly.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Put a CD (DVD) in a drive.
2.  Choose files to write to the CD (DVD) and write them.
I am told the writing was a success, but then after the checksum is done,
I am asked to manually eject.
3.  When I put the same disk back in either of my two drives, I get an error message, and no icon appears on my desktop.  I can then open the disk by going to Places, but usually the files have been corrupted.
  
Actual results:
See above


Expected results:
The files should be written to the disk and it should be ejected.
If I reinsert the disk in either of my two drives, an icon should appear on my desktop and the contents should be displayed in a window.   Using cmp to compare the files with the originals should show they are identical.


Additional info:
Gnomebaker works as expected.

I believe that when I did not have the problem right after I installed Fedora 14, but it developed recently.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 14:10:47 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
