What happened instead: START - Select and start iso image burning using a blank new CD. - Firefox freezes and systems feels like it is under heavy load ~30 sec → 'System monitor' says low cup usage MIDTERM - Brasero seems to work correct for 1 minute. Firefox is no longer friezed. END - Brasero says that 'burning was successful', but the mouse wheel icon is still turning and the disk wasn't ejected. I wait ~1 min. - Firefox freezes again. I try to open a terminal using a shortcut - doesn't work. - I try to open a terminal using the Dash - Dash opens, I can search and click → doesn't work. It's still possible to click on windows and get them focused - but it isn't longer possible to really interact with the computer. - I try 'CTRL+ALT+F1'. After login I get immediately this message: [25612.493259] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 67385240 - Can't write only the error message is displayed. - I try other "virtual" terminals with the same result. - So I've done a hard reboot using the hardware key on the computer. Next shock - it doesn't boot, new error message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT DISK AND PRESS ENTER - Then I pressed the power button of the computer longer to shut it down. After a view seconds it booted again - everything is fine. This isn't the first time I have problems with Brasero. Every new Ubuntu iteration I'll give it a try and it never worked for me. Brasero doesn't work either with my old Pentium 4. Thats why I use K3B most of the time - an KDE UI but it works.
