I followed Phil's lead and tried the mainline generic packages at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.2/
as well. I am happy to report that I can write DVD's again with wodim and Brasero. There are still some strange things occuring, though: before the write, the writer acts funny, making the same cycle of 'spin/move laser/spin again' noises as it did before when it refused to write at all. After the write has completed, the noise cycle begins again until I manually eject the disc. Despite this, the disc is written correctly, as far as Linux or I can tell. (mounts, can read files from it, can umount and eject). 95% solved. Let's keep this going. :d -- Unable to burn CD or DVD with 2.6.31 kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
