I now tried this on my laptop with a TSSTCorp CD/DVD-Writer. There I get no error and I guess write speeds are estimate correctly. For example, when using a CDRW which only allows 4x CD writing speed (which is the minimum) I can't select any speed. Though in Feisty the option field said "4x", here it is just greyed out. But altogether with this hardware combination it works fine. No error message. So some drives are not correctly supported by hal since gutsy (see my post above).
Please also see this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-cd-burner/+bug/86431 It is the same problem but connected to the package "nautilus-cd-burner". Though the error must be in the hal package, I guess. Maybe someone can connect these different reports. -- available speeds are wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67034 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
