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.
View 1 RepliesThe 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

My CD/DVD combo can read/write DVDs but not CDs. I have tried to Google for a solution but didn't find any. I run the latest Debian Sid.Some information:

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).

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've used dd to make iso's of dvd's before, but it's been a while. I usually run into the same problem where it errors out about 300-500 MB into the disc. I've tried adding bs=2048 to the command, but no dice. I checked my history file but for some reason I can't find the entries that successfully copied dvds.
What options should I choose? My typical command is:
dd if=/dev/dvd of=/home/me/dvd/title.iso bs=2048
I cannot burn DVD's or Cd's in k3b this is what happens:
I cannot burn with both.
I tried K3b and the same thing I got this message.

I have a problem while burning a CD-Extra (audio+data in two seperate sessions) in k3b 1.68.0~alpha3-0ub on Karmic. The audio tracks are being burned and the session is closed, but k3b does not start burning the second session. There is the last status message in the log: "Searching previous session" and one near the progress bar: "Closing session". Normally it should close the audio session, eject the burner for resetting his state and begin burning the second session. But in fact it just stops, instead of burning the second session. My only option is to cancel.
I already tried to add -eject into the user options of wodim/cdrecord. It ejects, but it didn't help. The first (audio-)session nevertheless is correctly burned, only the second (data-)session is missing. I tried to switch the writing app to cdrdao (option in k3b), but in this mode k3b dies with a segmentation fault. Only "auto" or "cdrecord" mode works. (In fact "auto" chooses cdrecord). There doesn't seem to be a different version of k3b available in synaptic to try out. I switched over from gentoo, where k3b worked. Unfortunately I cannot remember the exact version of k3b in gentoo. The system was approx. 1 year old.
PS: Is there a native Gnome/GTK app that does CD-Extra? Brasero and GnomeBaker do not support it yet.

If i have, for example, older GParted livecd which i burned in multisession mode(to be able to use rest of its free space later) or other cd|dvd that takes low space on disc itself..can i burn(add) new GParted livecd onto that same disc with choice which one i want run on boot or i need empty cd|dvd? I know that if disk isn't re-writeable with erase option it might be not possible but maybe then there is way to write new .iso and merge with existing content and somehow run from terminal console new one?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried the above using an existing multisession CD where data files were previously burned in a different pc using K3b. However, when the burning was completed successfully, the CD could not be read at all. I repeated the process with a blank CD choosing to leave it open in order to add more data later. All went well and the CD was readable but when I tried to add data to the same CD I got the message
Quote:
Appending new files to a multisession disc is not advised.
Already burnt files will be invisible (though still readable). Do you want to continue anyway?
I opted not to continue despite the temptation to see how invisible files can be read.
To sum it up, I find this turn of events absolutely appalling given that Brasero is the default software for CD burning in my system (Xubuntu 9.10). Can anyone tell me how to resolve this glaring shortcoming of Brasero so as to keep all my data files easily accessible in multisession CDs?
Say I have an Ubuntu Remix that's only 300 MB.
Normally when i burn it to a 700MB CD-R the extra 400 MB is wasted.
Is there a way I can burn a multisession disc from an ISO?
I tried using this command once but it didn't work.

I bought an 8GB flash drive because my D drive doesn't read DVDs. Anyway, my goal is to install Linux ubuntu and have it be my OS (replacing Windows XP). Last night I went to the Ubuntu homepage and downloaded the Ubuntu desktop edition 32-bit and put it on my flash drive. I followed the instructions on how to open and run it, but I was never asked about whether I want Linux to run side by side with Windows or if I want it to replace Windows. It downloaded the whole program, my computer restarted and then (on a black screen) it asked if I wanted to use Windows XP Home Edition or Linux Ubuntu. It's really frustrating because it took a while to download and install it in the first place AND to top that off, when I tried to use Ubuntu it went to a black screen and at the top said that there was an error. So I uninstalled all the ubuntu program and software and now I have a clean slate and want to try this again. I am a complete n00b. Could someone please walk me through how I can go about downloading (w/ links plz), installing and making ubuntu my ONLY OS on my computer via a flash drive? I'm desperate and I don't want to go through all of that and make the same mistake again!

this blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.

I have still not succeeded in getting my Region 2 DVDs to play in Ubuntu 10.04. I used something called Regionset to reset the player from zero to 2 for playback in the UK but although it is now set to Region 2 it will only play Region 0 DVDs. I have tried all sorts of tricks with codecs and installing VLC and (of course) Ubuntu Restricted Extras but no joy.

View 13 Replies View RelatedBack in the DOS days (yes I am dating myself) there was a backup command that would back the selected files across a series of floppy disks. Is there such a command in Karmic to backup across multiple DVDs?
I would like to do some backups of my data and other important files but I have more than 4 GB of information. I have seen posts on ways to write a compressed file but that still stores it on the HDD and I would like the files on DVDs in case the HDD crashes.
I'm trying to back up one of my dvds to my hdd. My usual method is to copy the video_ts folder onto my hdd and convert it from there. I popped this dvd into my computer and nautilus is saying that there is 71.8gb of data on this disk. If I run df -h, here's what I see:

There are actually 65 of these 1gb files. why this is happening or how to get this backed up?
