Thanks for your report. I'm confirming this for Dapper but I doubt this will ever be fixed because the package is not maintain anymore.
A workaround is to use scsi emulation to access your cd writer. To do this add "hdc=ide-scsi" (or the device corresponding to your cdrom) to the boot option for your kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the line "ide-scsi" to the file /etc/modules Your cdrom should appear as /dev/scd0 and will be identified as a valid scsi device. ** Changed in: arson (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Arson fails to burn from .iso https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62227 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
