Hardware :: Unable To Write DVDs
Jan 13, 2010
The disk writer of HP 550 laptop is able to write CDs, but not DVD-Rs. Wasted 3 DVDs(One each with Brasero and K3B on Fedora 12, and 1 with Brasero on Ubuntu 9.10). Last time, with Ubuntu 9.10 I got the following error log
Quote:
Checking session consistency (brasero_burn_check_session_consistency brasero-burn.c:1799)
BraseroBurnURI called brasero_job_get_action
BraseroBurnURI called brasero_job_get_action
BraseroBurnURI called brasero_job_set_output_size_for_current_track

I use Ubuntu LTS 10.04 with K3B. It seems impossible to write a multisession DVD. I went under the Misc tab and selected errr, something like "Begin multisession DVD" (french menu) but then, the DVD is not recognized as a multisession. I have less than 700 MB written on 2 Phillips DVDs.

$ cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17
drive name:sr0

I can read and write data dvds, but cannot play a regular dvd now. I have libdvdcss installed. I am running Slackware 64 13.37 (just installed).
Code:
MPlayer 20101218-4.5.1 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team
Playing dvd://.
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access
libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading
[Code]...
It can see the drive is there and /dev/sr0 is linked to /dev/dvd and I tried running as root to check if it was a permissions problem but got the same thing.
I have tried lots of different DVDs in the drive, same issue. I even switched out my DVD drive to another old DVD-ROM I had laying around, same thing.

I have one desktop and two laptops. It is strange to find that none of the three systems play VCD, when I use Totem, Totem-xine, Gxine or VLC media player, even with the codecs updated. Worse, each of the three DVD players then act in a loop, seeking the LG DVD-RAM drive endlessly. But the drives otherwise work very well and I also write DVDs and CDs often.I have tested the VCDs in Windows machines with VLC media player, and the VCDs work wonderfully. This is kind of strange. So I thought may be I should report this.

I'm unable to mount any dvd on my HP 6735s laptop running Gentoo (with combined stable (+) and testing (~) ebuilds). Here's everything that I can come up with: $uname -a Linux aiur 2.6.32.6-aiur-r5 #6 SMP Thu Jan 28 17:02:59 CET 2010 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Dual Core Mobile RM-70 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
NOTE: -aiur-r5 is my custom kernel name. I am having this problem with all the kernels since 2.6.31. I use the vanilla kernels from www.kernel.org and compile them with some custom settings using menuconfig.
$ ls -l /dev/{cd,dvd,scd,sr}*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 28 17:37 /dev/cdrom -> sr0

I recently installed Kubuntu, but I can't play back DVDs.
I also added handbrake and VLC, because I would like to rip my DVDs and I understand that I need libdvdcss.
I've followed various instructions on the forum for adding files from Medibuntu, but I still can't even play back a commercial DVD.

I regularly use XBMC on my htpc. Everything seems to work just fine except that I cannot watch DVDs with it. It just never detects a DVD. If I insert a DVD with XBMC running, it just lets me browse the files. If I select the video files it plays some of them (depending on the DVD apparently). If I click on the play button it says that no disk is detected. There is nothing that I can see in the log file and seems relevant. I really don't know what to do. The computer is an HP z555. I just modified it by adding more ram and I changed the video card for an NVIDIA 8400GS. It is running Ubuntu Lucid and XBMC 9.11 installed from the PPA repository. The dvds play well with totem, vlc and mplayer

I thought I'd support Ubuntu and buy the Fluendo add-on from the app store. (I am running a fresh install of 10.10.) Whenever I put in a commercial DVD I get an "an error has occurred" message. How do I go about fixing this? I was under the impression that the ubuntu restricted extras would break fluendo, which is why I did not install them. Although during the install I did tell it to download the extra software there.

I have installed the LG BE08LU20 on five Centos servers during the past three months. Two HP ML115, two Dell T110 and mine which is an older Dell Dimension. All except one of the Dell T110 work fine. The BE08LU20 drive is used for 50Gb backups using mondoarchive. On the problem machine which has just been installed from scratch again, it will quite happily mount cd and dvds but not 50Gb BD-RE. I take the same BD-RE disk which it objects to and load it on my identical be08lu20 on a Dell Dimension with Centos 5.5 and it is recognized and allows writing. I swapped my working drive for the problem one but it makes no difference. The 'faulty' drive works perfectly correctly on mine. The OS is Centos 5.5 I have used the same DVD to install three machines with it. Two work including mine, but not the T110. Another customer with T110 also has a be08lu20 and mondoarchive with bd-re disks and theirs worked from the start. They have Centos 5.3 and up-to-date patches, but it should make no difference I've tried both usb and e-sata the result is the same. The centos 5.5 has kernel 2.6.18.194-el5PAE
If I load a bd-re disk in the drive and mount it - this is what I get
[root@localhost log]# mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
This is the log
Aug 25 00:33:17 gilmartin1 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 2096896
Aug 25 00:33:17 gilmartin1 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 524224

There was another problem with this particular machine. I could install Centos, configure Samba and join the users to the domain without a hiccup. Then in the small hours of the morning (not always the same time) it just locked up, no kbd, no mouse, no display, no disk active, no network. Only solution was switch off and it would come up again quite happily with nothing logged and run without a problem for another 20-24 hours. Dell eventually agreed to replace the motherboard. I installed Centos again from scratch. It's been fine all week. The blu-ray problem has been there from the start, and has NOT been solved by the new motherboard.

Applied the Lucid Lynx 10.04 over the weekend.
Since then - I am unable to burn DVDs, although I can successfully read DVD's.
Everything worked fine before the upgrade.
Under Lucid Lynx I am able to burn CD's (both data files and .ISO) so it isn't the hardware.
I have tried Brasero and k3b as burners - they issue messages that the burner doesn't like the medium, which is standard DVD-R.
Bear in mind that I could burn similar DVDs *before* the upgrade...
Any help or suggestions on how to fix this please?

I am trying to make a bootable DVD in RHEL5 but it wont let me write to DVD. I have tried following command to write to DVD:
cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -v -eject /root/inst/images/boot.iso
dvdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -v -eject /root/inst/images/boot.iso
I am getting the following error message when I run the above commands:
Error trying to open /dev/hdc exclusively... retrying in 1 second.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'
cdrecord: Device or resource busy. Cannot open '/dev/hdc'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
I have also checked /dev/ directory and cdrom is linked to hdc and cdrom-hdc.

I recently installed ubuntu 11.04. After installation, I created two ext4 partitions in my hard drive. My problem is that I can't create any files in these partitions. These partitions are not automatically mounted at boot time, but once I try to access them , they get mounted. I thought all this was managed by /etc/fstab file but I can't see any entry for these partitions there. So, I created an entry for both these partitions in fstab file with the following options: auto,user,exec,rw,suid,dev However, now when i boot, i see that there are two partitions already mounted as earlier and there are two more in the Places menu. I am not able to mount them since they are already mounted. And I still can't create any files in those partitions.

I have have Centos 5.3 which does not save files to USB drives. after copying over file to an empty drive the files are shown on the drive and can be opened and edited but when the drive is removed and reinserted the drive is empty again even though I have told the it to remove the device. I suspect that the file cache is not being flushed correctly. Is there a way of checking this and forcing it to flush the file cache if this is the problem?

The titles says about everything. CD's are perfectly automounted.WhenI insert a DVD however (I tried various DVDs), absolutely nothing happens, as if I would have inserted nothing or a blank DVD.I already read lots of threads and nothing o help... Here are the outputs of a few commands that might or might not be useful.A line I added myself in fstab which appears completely useless:
Code:
/dev/sr0 /media/dvd auto utf8,user,noauto,exec 0 0

I am trying to scrape all of the info off of an old Fedora disk so that I can referb the box and put new stuff on it, but for some reason I can't get the permissions (even as root) to write to the disk.
It is currently mounted under /media/backup and I can browse it all I want, but still can't write.

I'm having some issues writing files through dolphin (smb://computer_name/) to a Windows SBS share. It seems that every time I try and write a file it simply creates a 32KB file.
I was previously able to write to this (Opensuse 11.0 / 11.1 / 11.2) and nothing has changed on the Windows server (besides for windows updates).
I'm running:
Opensuse 11.3 KDE Version 4.5.2 (KDE 4.5.2) "release 10"
Dolphin Version 1.5

I used gparted to format and merge two partitions to a single 150gig partition. However, after mounting the partition (and entering my password) I am unable to write any files to it.I tried looking at its permissions. Both its owner and group is root.Could anyone help me by telling me how I could change this through gparted, the terminal, or any other way?

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 on a Sony Vaio. Because when I installed it I was new in Linux, I messed up with the partitions and I have lots of unused logical partitions in my extended one.
I have used Gparted to delete a number of partitions and create a new, bigger one (ext3, logical), within the Linux extended partition I have
well, first of all I do not understand why it created partitions that are not mounted, that is I can only access them typing my password and they got automatically unmounted as I restart the computer
but the worse is that I cannot write on it! I completely deleted the previous partitions but, when I open it, there is still a folder "lost and found" that I am not allowed to open (+_+) and when I drag anything into the window it says "error" that is I cannot write anything on an empty partition...

share a mount"/RAID" on my server: 192.168.0.2 with everyone on my network.192.168.0.*
From what I have listed below I am able to mount the share but I can not write or delete anything. It is almost like it is ro only permissions.
From the Server:
Code:
sudo cat /etc/exports
[sudo] password for jesse:
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
[code]....
Eventually I need to share 192.168.0.2:/RAID on two OSX computers as well. I read some places where you need to add insecure to your /etc/exports on your server in order for the OSX client to access the the share.

I am having a problem writing to an NTFS pendrive. I have created the NTFS pen drive in the following way:
Code:
fdisk /dev/sda
created the label with 'o', then written the table with 'w'
I've then gone into fdisk again :
Code:
fdisk /dev/sda
started the partition creation with 'n', and chosen 1 partition '1', then written that with 'w'
I then used mkntfs to format:
Code:
mkntfs /dev/sda1
The blkid command gives me this output:
/dev/sda1: UUID="58CEA9511D6BCEFA" TYPE="ntfs"
I can mount the pendrive (as root) with:
Code:
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive
and the mount command output:
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/pendrive type ntfs (rw)
I have changed the permissions on /mnt/pendrive (while mounted) to 777, owner/group=root. However, when I try to copy something to the drive I get this error:
cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/pendrive/file.txt': Permission denied

Whenever I try to write to /opt, /usr/src, or /usr/local, I get "permission denied."
How do I fix this? The portion of the fstab for the filesystems in question is:

I'm running GNOME under Lucid on a 64-bit machine. Here's the background: Yesterday, I tried to delete a subfolder of my Local Folders directory. Right-clicking on the subfolder offered the usual menu of options including "Delete", but selecting "Delete" left the folder in place. In floundering around trying things to solve the problem, I tried opening Thunderbird from the command line, using "sudo thunderbird", following which I succeeded in deleting the recalcitrant subfolder. Here's the first stage in the problem:
But when I next opened Thunderbird in ordinary mode (i.e., as "ron" not as "superuser"), I discovered that the Inbox was no longer accessible. Clicking on "Get Mail" yielded only a small wheel-icon that spins, presumably showing activity in progress, without actually finishing by getting mail. The other various folders seemed to operate normally, in that they showed their contents when clicked on.

I have ubuntu server 10.4 installed on an Intel SS4200-E, which I have configured without any RAID. This machine acts as a media server to another PC. The other PC runs Windows 7 Ultimate. I have 3 1TB hard disks connected to it, and the file system on all the 3 are NTFS. I have mounted the hard disks as ntfs. I have made the folders on all the 3 hard disks shareable. I have configured Samba to make the folders on the hard disks "visible".
The ubuntu machine is in a headless configuration (it doesn't have any VGA card where can connect a monitor). I can configured SSH on it, so I can use putty from the Windows machine to logon to the ubuntu machine, but it is text based only. I am able to see all the 3 disks from the Windows machine. I am able to read/write into 2 of the disks. I am able to read, copy and delete from the 3rd disk, but not write new content to it.
Following is the snippet from /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/sda3 /media/Media1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/Media2 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/Media3 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
Following are the lines which I have added to the end of /etc/samba/smb.conf:
Code:
[Media1]
path = /media/Media1
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
