Hi, the error message stems from the burner drive and was forwarded by libburn to Brasero. Strangely the code ASC=21 , ASCQ=04 is not specified in in the SCSI specs for optical drives (MMC). In the overall error code list https://www.t10.org/lists/asc-num.htm it is listed for other device classes as 21h/04h DZ UNALIGNED WRITE COMMAND
I know this error code from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998718 with Drive type : vendor 'ASUS' product 'DRW-24D5MT' revision '2.00' Brasero crashed at that occasion before it could start to write. The indirect reason seems to be a bad READ CD command which Brasero emitted on its own (i.e. not via libburn). It brings the firmware of two ASUS drives to a state from where it throws that error code. (Mine is a BW-16D1HT with firmware 1.01.) It happens only with CD media which were written by write type TAO. So (assuming that the drive has address /dev/sr0): - What is the vendor, model, revision of your drive. You may obtain it from the empty drive by xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -toc | grep 'Drive type' - Do you experience the problem with CD-R or CD-RW media ? If so: - What happens if you use a writable DVD medium instead ? - Does it help to blank the CD medium before using it with Brasero: xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -blank as_needed - Do you experience the problem with other GUI programs like K3B or Xfburn ? - Do you experience the problem with a run of xorriso ? ISO="...path.to.your.iso.image.file..." xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=as_needed "$ISO" Have a nice day :) Thomas ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #998718 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998718 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1964554 Title: Brasero does not burn ISO IMAGE.
