We will have to dig deeper to untangle this message. But first i need to send a few complaints to heaven: > $ wodim --devices > I get "Cannot open SCSI driver!" This i can reproduce on Jessie. wodim: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver! For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'. wodim -scanbus does not work either. (How can it be that unchanged software shows such signs of rot ?) Funnily, it can operate single drives. $ wodim -v dev=/dev/sr4 -inq ... Linux sg driver version: 3.5.27 Wodim version: 1.1.11 ... Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW. (Well, it is a MMC-5 Blu-ray drive.) ------------------------------------------------------------- Now for the burn problem. In order to learn more about the "test unit ready" error, please repeat the wodim run with additional option -V and catch the many messages in file /tmp/wodim_log: wodim -V ...your.wodim.options... 2>&1 | tee -i /tmp/wodim_log Send the file /tmp/wodim_log to me in private. I will then post what i can learn from it. What wodim options did you use, exactly ? If it was for a pure data or audio CD, then you may try cdrskin instead of wodim. It uses libburn, as do Xfburn, Brasero, and xorriso. cdrskin ...your.wodim.options... Have a nice day :) Thomas
