I get the same error. I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Rhythmbox 3.4.2. I insert a CD, it has all catalog entries, neither the CD's title nor any entries have the same name as any on disk. The ~/Music directory is fully writable and has only three subdirectories.
Highlighting and dragging all the songs to the Music collection worked for the first three CDs that had catalog entries. This would have been the fourth. When I try the Import button and change to 'Audio Disk' as the Source, the button to copy is greyed out. I stopped Rhythmbox. I removed ~/Music, ~/.cache/rhythmbox, and ~/.local/share/rhythmbox. I restarted Rhythmobox, which now has an empty library, and the same CD (without removing it), imports using the same procedure as above. Running from the terminal and sending debug output to the log, as suggested above, yields this as the only seemingly relevant text ``` unable to find device path for mount point /run/user/28050/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0 unable to find device /run/user/28050/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0 in udev finding mount point for /run/user/28050/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0 unable to find mount point for device path /run/user/28050/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0 ``` which seems to be the path to the CD. I rebooted the machine with no CD and reinserted prior to running this test. I cal list the contents of the path ``` $ ls /run/user/28050/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0 'Track 10.wav' 'Track 14.wav' 'Track 18.wav' 'Track 4.wav' 'Track 8.wav' 'Track 11.wav' 'Track 15.wav' 'Track 1.wav' 'Track 5.wav' 'Track 9.wav' 'Track 12.wav' 'Track 16.wav' 'Track 2.wav' 'Track 6.wav' 'Track 13.wav' 'Track 17.wav' 'Track 3.wav' 'Track 7.wav' ``` It seems clear to me that there isn't a problem with accessing the CD since this scenario works if I move a few directories to different names and start from scratch, which works. Then, after successfully importing songs from the very same CD, I put the original directories back, the previous music collection appears intact and plays, and the same error occurs importing the very same CD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876716 Title: Error transferring track: "could not open resource for writing" when copying tracks to library Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I tried adding my old iTunes music folder into my (empty) Rhythmbox library having the option 'Copy files that are outside the music library' checked. After clicking 'Import 4974 listed tracks'. Expected behaviour: all files should've been copied to my Rhythmbox media folder. What happened instead: the copy process got interupted with the following error: Error transferring track: "could not open resource for writing" Only a few tracks where copied, I was able to press the button a few more times to copy a few more tracks, but then Rhythmbox crashed/closed and I had to restart it. I also tried it with just a few tracks. That worked, but the same error message came up when trying to copy tracks that were added to the library before. --- Description: Zorin OS 15.2 Release: 15 rhythmbox: Installed: 3.4.2-4ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.4.2-4ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.4.2-4ubuntu1 500 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1876716/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
