So I was hit by this brasero bug. No way to burn a CD on any of my Lucid computers. gnomebaker
is not working either. Hmm.
If found a workaround in andrew.46’s tutorial on ubuntuforums:
- Get your CD drive(s) information:
$ sudo cdrdao scanbus Cdrdao version 1.2.2 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas@daneb.de> SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables. Using libscg version 'ubuntu-0.8ubuntu1' 0,1,0 : PIONEER , DVD-RW DVR-K16RS, 1.35
Please read Andrew’s tutorial for the details.
- Create a
/etc/cdrdao.conf
file$ sudo touch /etc/cdrdao.conf
- Edit the file to place the following:
#---- cdrdao.conf ----# write_buffers: 128 write_device: "0,1,0" write_driver: "generic-mmc" read_device: "0,1,0" read_driver: "generic-mmc" read_paranoia_mode: 3 write_speed: 8
The write_device and read_device lines should match your own drive(s) specification(s). I only have one. The other parameters are explained in Adrew’s post.
- Start copying and burning the CD
$ sudo cdrdao copy
When necessary, cdrdao will prompt you to remove the original CD and insert a blank one in the drive.
- All done!
I do not know when this bug will be fixed, when the appropriate packages will hit the repositories, but in the mean time, I’m not left without any burning option.. Many thanks Andrew :)

XfBurn ? Still Gtk but not the same cd libraries.
Brasero gave me error when making an image CD so I tried out gnomebaker which works fine for all, image and audio CD copy.
It’s been a while but I’ve head burning problems as well on my Toshiba Satellite P100. Back then I’ve found that adding
combined_mode=libata
to kernel parameters in order to setup dma transfers for optical drive helped.

If you search for you drive model/make and combined_mode=libata you might find some help as well
Thanks all, I’ll try and report back :)
