Hi, > /usr/bin/wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise > RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.
This message is annoying but harmless. The immediate reason for failure is given by these lines: > CDB: 53 00 00 00 00 00 1F 52 53 00 > status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) > Sense Bytes: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 72 05 00 00 > Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 > Sense Code: 0x72 Qual 0x05 (no more track reservations allowed) Fru 0x0 wodim tried to apply SCSI command RESERVE TRACK to a medium which is not suitable for this command: > Profile: 0x0013 (DVD-RW restricted overwrite) (current) This is a formatted DVD-RW. I am not sure whether cdrecord can deal with it. wodim cannot. growisofs or libburn are suitable backends for this medium state. There remains the question why K3B used wodim for DVD and not growisofs, as would be normal. You can probably make the DVD-RW suitable for wodim by one of these commands: wodim -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=all dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/sr0 xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -blank all They convert it from formatted state to unformatted. Then it resembled more a CD-RW, which is what wodim can understand. These commands have to be repeated each time you want to re-use the DVD-RW from scratch. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246804 Title: k3b fails to write a DVD with "Unable to open new session" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/1246804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
