Ubuntu :: GUI Crashing And Burning?
Jun 3, 2011
It started when I woke up to find that the Unity dock was misbehaving -- none of the icons were appearing, though there was something at the top that looked like a couple of the "flattened" icons that are usually at the bottom. I can't remember what I did in the terminal or gnome-system-monitor to try and fix this, but I think it was unity --reset. (Should've been --replace, I know that now. Unless I was barking up the wrong tree altogether) The result was that the dock disappeared altogether along with the tops of all windows, much as has happened in the past when metacity crashed. But now alt-f2 wasn't working, and while I had a terminal open (and in front of all the other windows), I couldn't type anything into it. (I could, however, right-click and start a new terminal, which didn't work either.)
So then I switched to tty1-6. Unfortunately, I don't know how to use those to start things in tty7, only kill processes. I did some Googling and tried sudo service gdm restart. This, according to ps, ended most of the processes I had open, and now tty7 is stuck on a text screen that says "Ubuntu 11.04" at the top and "* Checking battery state... [ OK ]" at the bottom and has a blinking cursor at the bottom right. Ctrl-Alt-F8 opens a GUI login screen that lists me as "Currently logged in."I'm completely lost here. Is there anything I can do to fix tty7? Is there even anything I should bother doing now but rebooting?

I have tried burning media files as data into a DVD (-R). Failed every time. It simulates the burn, and when it starts burning it sometimes ejects the media and at other times just says that it cannot eject the DVD and that it has to be done manually. After the DVD is ejected it errors out.Attaching the log file.

Today I want to install Ubuntu on a friends laptop. I finally convinced him to leave Windows and move on to Ubuntu. Ironically this has brought me into problems. I have downloaded the ubuntu-10.10-dvd-i386.iso and ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso to make a bootable cd/dvd to install Ubuntu. Now both K3b and Brasero give me problems burning one of the .iso files. I already waste some CDr and DVDr. I will share some logfiles for your info;

Im getting very slow DVD burning. Quite often in Turbojet2 or using growisofs or whatever, Im getting 0.5x DVD burning speeds.
I set the burn speed to 12x on Turbojet, but it hovers from 0.5x to maybe bursts of 5x.
I will get maybe 9 minute burn times in Brasero for single DVDs but 15 to 25 minutes in Turbojet2 and longer using growisofs or other CLI burning when doing multiple DVDs.
Im running 11.04 on a box w/ SATA drives, SATA DVD-RW's 12gb of Ram an Intel I-5 4 core processor
I have played w/ hdparm settings but no luck...I tried the below

I've tried writing music files such as .mp3, .wma, and .wav and play them in my car, but none of them work, and when I put the CD in my computer again, none of the music files are there!I've used Brasero and K3B to burn them, as well as the default program that just opens up the cd folder, asks you to copy the files and then gives an option to burn them, and I've looked at past threads but none of them seem to have the same problem as me (or else the suggestions don't help at all).

I am using rsync to create rotating snapshot style backups of my web files and sending them via SSH to a remote location in order to burn them for offsite storage. This is all working perfect. The remote machine is a Windows Server 2003 which has data that I combine with my web files before burning. I have cygwin installed on the remote server in order to archive and compress the entire backup using tar. (This is not a post about cygwin, I just thought I would mention it in case anyone was wondering how I was running Linux commands after transferring it to the Windows box). After compression, the backup is over 12gb. The next step in my process is to split this tar.gz file into smaller chunks in order to burn them to DVDs. I use dual layer DVDs which are 8.5gb storage size.
I also use cygwin to split the tar.gz into multiple 2gb files using the split command. When I burn them, I only put 3 files on each disk totaling 6gb to leave some padding in case this was a problem. The burn completes and says successful, although it errors out when in verification. I have tried this multiple times and it seems to fail verification at the same point every time which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the data. I have also done tests such as creating smaller backups with completely different data and brning that to a CD-R which worked fine, so I'm convinced this process can work, I just cant get it to work in the right situation. I have also tried burning one of the 7 split files to a dual DVD which also worked fine. I'm wondering if their is a chunk of data that is causing this problem in one of the other split files?

Trying to burn with CD/DVD Creator. I can't find anything in the program (settings wise) that will automatically convert mp3 files to wav files. I used to use k3b, and it used to do that. I did try installing k3b, however I am getting glitches in the program. I don't want to covert mp3 files over to wav every time I want to burn a new cd. Does anyone have a suggestion as to another program or place to find the burn setting for encoding?

I keep getting the following error when trying to burn a DVD, and unfortunately am none the wiser as to what it means:
Code:
DBus error
This is using both Brasero and K3b, the disk stops writing about halfway through on Brasero and a tenth of the way through on K3b. I'm just trying to burn a data DVD and have tried low & high speeds.
Latest version of 64bit Ubuntu

I have finally ripped my dvd collection to my external hard drive, and now I want to make fair use back ups of my discs (incase the worst happens and I lose my HD and my original disc) I remember there was a tutorial on these forums a while back but I can't seem to find it.

I have an old computer currently running release 7.10, Gutsy. Can I upgrade to 10.04 without burning a CD?
If I must burn a CD, is there a version that will fit on a 700MB CD? Those are the only ones I have here.

I have installed Ubunutu 10.4 64 bit on my AMD64 computer and most things seem to work fine. Except for burning DVDs. I have a BH10LS30 device which reads CDs and DVDs without problems. Then I wanted to burn a DVD+R (Philips) with the Gnome burn program (which autostarts when inserting a blank DVD+R) and it failed - disk not usable anymore. Then I tried with Brasero (which seems to be the same program) with same result. Then I installed k3b and it failed again - but not destroying the disk, just not touching it. Error messages all like "an unknown error occured".
Then I tried DVD+RW (Sony). That also failed. Then I booted the computer with Knoppix 6 from an USB stick and started k3b. Worked perfectly with the Philips DVD+R disks which failed three times in Ubuntu! What could be the problem? Could it be the 64-bit driver (Knoppix was 32 bit)? Could it be an Ubuntu-Issue?

I want to burn an iso file to my DVD-r, i use brasero and yesterday have upgraded to 10.10 NBR (UBUNTU RULES- I HAVE HAD IT FOR 2 YRS!) when i click on the 'burn image' tab on the brasero menu all is well but then when i click the properties and click on 2.0x speed (my friends drive can't read anything set any higher than 2.0x) it does not save that property and it goes and burns at much higher speeds like 3.4X. p.s does anyone know how to get rid of the deleted items icon on the 10.10 NBR menu

I need something that will convert and then burn a DVD. I have tried almost all of the options on Ubuntu including Devede, K3B, Avidemux, Qauthor, Tovid, Transmageddon, DVDstyler and probably more. None will convert to a NTSC format without trying to create a DVD menu which seems to be the problem involved in playback except for Transmageddon, but it fails to provide the bup and ifo files to go with the video files to get K3B to burn it. I'm able to make DVD's that work on computers, but I want DVD's that will play in my DVD player. Any programs other than the ones I named that can do the conversion without creating a DVD menu and create all the files needed to get K3B to burn it? If needed, I'm converting from AVI. Also,

I was wondering if there is an app for Linux that is a complete soln for burning audio and dvd? I'm a little confused at this point. I dl smplayer thinking this would do it for me and I've googled for information. So far, the only thing I see that seems to do everything in one app is gear pro and that's expensive! If there's any way, I'd like to avoid going through 2 or 3 diff apps (or worse) to burn something.

The reason I'm here today is because wine seems to have changed quite a bit. It used to be simple and I only need it for a couple of programs called dvd decrptor and dvd shrink. I've tried some programs in linux and haven't been able to get them to work, like DVD 5. It could be me, of course! So, I haven't been able to get wine to read my cd-rom hardware to where I can back up my dvds. Are there any solutions that anyone knows of on Wine or linux programs which I prefer? I did create an iso from a dvd with DVD 5, I believe, and then had it set up to burn with k3b. The first part of the dvd came up with the menus and music, but I could go no further than that. I figure there is some little something that I'm doing wrong or some bit of linux software suport for DVD 5 or k3b that I do not have. That's usually what it is.

I see there are a lot of other threads on this subject, but I don't find any solution in the other threads. I have been trying to burn cd's directly in Ubuntu, using Brasero, which was already installed. Why does it not work? It says that an "unknown error occurred" or something like that. I don't remember the exact error message right now. I am now burning cd's in "Gnomebaker" which I found in the applications list. This works fine, but only at the speed of 4x, no faster. I hope to get the brasero application to work, as this is the easiest, fastest way, just dragging files to the cd.

What is a simple Dual Layer DVD burning for 32bit Gnome Ubuntu 9.10?
From what I hear Brasero doesn't support it yet. I have heard of GnomeBaker & k3b.
I want a good one that also has PPAs to add to the sources.list

Is there any way to save data to a DVD & leave the disk "open" to add files after the session is closed? I like to backup my MP3 files to DVD's, been doing it for years using Windows Vista. As I collect more MP3's I add em to the same DVD. Can't do this using Brasero or any other program I have tried - once I write a file the disk is closed.
