--- Comment #6 from Ian Proudler <i.proud...@oxon.org> --- Re. "independent of file size" - Which file sizes have you tried? I'm sorry it's been a long time since I first raised this issue and I don't remember what sizes I tried. I imagine I made sure that the file would fit. I've just tried to burn a 2.5GiB .iso (in simulate mode) and it failed (see below). Note I have been using k3b with my 'new' optical drive without any trouble for the past three years so it seems to be an issue with the drive itself. It is an old drive and I don't use it to write any more so I wonder if we should just close this issue. If you want more information I'm happy to help. Note my system has changed since the last time I tried using the 'old' drive. --------------------------------------------- Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-97-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processor: 1 × Intel® Core™ i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600 --------------------------------------------------- Burned media ----------------------- DVD-R Sequential Devices ----------------------- TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223F SB00 (/dev/sr0, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL) [DVD-ROM, DVD-R Sequential, DVD-R Dual Layer Sequential, DVD-R Dual Layer Jump, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite, DVD-RW Sequential, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD+R Dual Layer, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW] [SAO, TAO, RAW, SAO/R96P, SAO/R96R, RAW/R16, RAW/R96P, RAW/R96R, Restricted Overwrite, Layer Jump] [%7] System ----------------------- K3b Version: 21.12.3 KDE Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel: 5.15.0-97-generic Used versions ----------------------- growisofs: 7.1 growisofs ----------------------- Executing 'builtin_dd if=/dev/fd/0 of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0' /dev/sr0: engaging DVD-R DAO upon user request... /dev/sr0: reserving 1289054 blocks /dev/sr0: "Current Write Speed" is 8.2x1352KBps. 655360/2639982592 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 469:51 RBU 100.0% UBU 4.8% 655360/2639982592 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 671:12 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% 655360/2639982592 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 872:34 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% 655360/2639982592 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 1141:03 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% 655360/2639982592 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 1342:25 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% 655360/2639982592 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 1543:47 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% 8749056/2639982592 ( 0.3%) @1.8x, remaining 135:20 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% 36503552/2639982592 ( 1.4%) @6.0x, remaining 35:39 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% 64258048/2639982592 ( 2.4%) @6.0x, remaining 22:02 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% 85098496/2639982592 ( 3.2%) @4.5x, remaining 18:30 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0% ............................... 2448588800/2639982592 (92.8%) @8.0x, remaining 0:24 RBU 100.0% UBU 99.9% 2484469760/2639982592 (94.1%) @7.8x, remaining 0:19 RBU 100.0% UBU 99.9% 2513338368/2639982592 (95.2%) @6.3x, remaining 0:15 RBU 100.0% UBU 99.9% 2550366208/2639982592 (96.6%) @8.0x, remaining 0:11 RBU 12.1% UBU 99.9% 2556788736/2639982592 (96.8%) @1.4x, remaining 0:10 RBU 100.0% UBU 99.9% 2593783808/2639982592 (98.3%) @8.0x, remaining 0:05 RBU 100.0% UBU 99.9% :-[ WRITE@LBA=13ab50h failed with SK=5h/ASC=21h/ACQ=04h]: Invalid argument :-( write failed: Invalid argument /dev/sr0: flushing cache growisofs command: ----------------------- /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/fd/0 -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -use-the-force-luke=4gms -use-the-force-luke=tracksize:1289054 -use-the-force-luke=dummy -use-the-force-luke=dao:1289054 -dvd-compat -speed=8 -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:32m -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
