All, The plot thickens. I too encountered the above mentioned failures after a hard drive failure forced me to update to 7.10. The irony is that I installed Gutsy from a CDROM burned on the exact hardware/firmware that now can only brick DVD/CDROM media.
After tweaking many items, each of which left me with a DVD with block read errors (unreadable/bricked), I decided to try out NeroLinux 3.0.0.0. Nero had no problems burning a DVD and there were none of the status=0x58 or 05 6F/03 errors previously reported when using k3b and associated utilities. In addition, I verified the contents of the disc were readable by randomly selecting files to read/test. This leads me to believe that one of the utilities, such as cdrdao, dvd +rw-format, etc. are incompatible with how the kernel now expects to receive commands for burning CDs and DVDs (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=247459). I've attached the command output requested above for your reference. I can provide a fresh-boot dmesg if requested. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11610255/dmesg.log -- DVD-RW status error: status=0x58 (after an upgrade from Feity to Gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126898 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
