Also FWIW, I've been speaking with the maintainer of libburnia and xfburn, and he says libburn and cdrskin are replacements for wodim and cdrecord and are built on a fresh codebase. He wrote: "Cdrskin can replace cdrecord (even for k3b, just make a symlink from cdrecord -> cdrskin) [or really from wodim to cdrskin]. If it isn't a hardware error, it really should work as it's a fresh codebase. You can grab libburn tarball (which includes cdrskin) from http://libburnia- project.org "
I also notice the Ubuntu repos have the older version 0.4.2-1 of libburn and cdrskin. My method above for replacing wodim with cdrecord seemed to work, but I am still unable to burn. After trying an old installation of feisty that I know used to burn ok, I'm convinced I have a bad drive. Yet for some reason I'm getting the same errors as reported in this bug - the error reporting seems very non-informative. I'm interested to know anyone's results with libburn. Also, the maintainer said he is willing to help people with any problems. -- I can't write a cd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149076 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
