I've got the same problem, same model. this is either a driver problem or a defect of the cd drive. I don't think I've had any problems like this in windows, so I'm guessing it's a driver thing. which means this is a KERNEL issue.
I also occasionally get repetitive errors in dmesg about a USB ...current ..something. I'll post that when I see it again. are you guys by chance using an ASUS laptop? particularly this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9050279&st=Asus+G50Vt+Laptop&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218012519873 -- DVDRAM GSA-T50L will not write DVD's or CD's https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
