Error during burning iso image on DVD+R

I wonder if these are all dupes as well. Tonight with feisty I tried to burn a DVD video and failed miserably. Went thru a few maxell DVD+R's, then a DVD+RW _worked_, then tried a few sony DVD+R's and failed again, it finally worked with a phillips DVD+R.

I use a vanilla kernel 2.6.18 self compiled, same one I used with edgy fine. I also tried a 2.6.20.2 kernel w/o change.

junfan@jkd:~$ growisofs --version
* growisofs by <email address hidden>, version 7.0.1,
  front-ending to genisoimage: genisoimage 1.1.2 (Linux)

dvd+rw-tools 7.0-6 DVD+-RW/R tools

I should mention probably that I'm using k3b and I get no error probably due to the other bug which mentions that growisofs will not exit with error status even if it fails.

This isn't just iso's, and it's still here. I can't burn DVD+R Video from files either.

I'm also unable to write DVD (not even dvd+RW if I want to write them til the end). So I turned off X server and kdm and I logged in as root in tty1 ([ctr][alt][F1]) to avoid bug #75753 (cdrom ide drives wrong group https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/75753).
So in command line I did

growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=./kubuntu-6.10-dvd-i386.iso

and I had an error msg that is not in the k3b log becouse is a kernel error msg:

I dont have SATA drives but as far as I understand in kernel 2.6.20 there is no /dev/hdx, all ide and sata drives are scsi type drives (http://beranger.org/index.php?article=2696). I atached my lspci -vvn. I have IDE hd and IDE dvdrw, but with this kernel 2.6.20-13, my hd is /dev/sda and my dvd is /dev/scd.
The funy thing is if I do
growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=/dev/zero
Everything goeas fine!. Look:

With my last feisty fawn, I tried to burn my iso image in tty1 and root user but without more success. Here is my result :

growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=image.iso

I am surprised this important bug has not been treated yet. Moreover, I think this bug should be attached to the distribution and not k3b : it's a more general problem - perhaps kernel, perhaps user rights, perhaps dvdrtools ... (for info, burn of CDs and DVDRW are OK for me !).

MEN OF UBUNTU :
* please comment this bug,
* change its affectation - k3b to ...,
* Change its status : could you reproduce this bug, do you need more info, Is it in progress or is this bug rejected ? Do you have a temporarily work-around ? ...

Thank you for comments

Similar problem here with k3b (also Brasero and Gnomebaker). Burn of DVD+R fails with WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=3h/ASC=0Ch/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error

Burner is Liteon SATA Model SH-16A7S-05 which has burned DVD+R's successfully before. I'm wondering if it is related to 2.6.20-16.

Can you try reproducing the problem on gutsy pls?

Problem reproduced on gutsy with the message in attachment.

So, now k3b asks to test a 1x burn speed : indeed, the program reports a 2x burn speed, even if I choose Speed="Ignore" ?
I would like to force the test in 1x but impossible to find the option (choice between Auto, Ignore and 2x) ...

Yeah, same input/output error using Plextor PX-755SA Serial-ATA DVD+RW drive under both feisty and gutsy.
Have tried k3b, brasero, nautlilus, gnomebaker and from command line.

Hopefully can set to confirmed since CLambert's problem is indeed not a k3b-specific one, but with any tool, and I'm confirming the problem in gutsy (too).

Closing Feisty task.

I have a similar problem with gutsy when trying to burn a DVD ISO image from Nautilus. The ISO image is good since I was able to watch it using VLC, and the burner should be no problem since I used to burn images under Windows, before re-installation. After a few minutes the system complains about an error (don't remember exactly and I prefer not to throw away another disc) and terminates writing, thus giving me an unusable disc (already three discs...). I can see that burned area is less than half the disc.

I had the same error burning a DVD ISO image in Gutsy with 2.6.22-14-generic kernel using k3b and cdrecord.
I tried several solutions unsuccessfully. Finally i changed the DVD media (i was using IG Dvds and changed to Verbatim DVD-R) and burn without problem.
Weird, really strange. I lost a lot of time trying to burn on the same media DVDs.

When i was almost pulling my hair out, found this post
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171120

Unbelievable!.

Change the write speed in K3b to the lowest possible. It worked for me and I was having the same problems. -Justin-

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.

For what it's worth I have found from experience that this problem tends to be load related and affects both K3B and Brasero. For some reason neither of them are getting the priority they need when burning while the system is too heavily loaded.

For example I used to have this regularly happen with K3B on a dual core 64bit 2.0Ghz processor. I was running folding@home (which took one of the cores completely), Azureus and a lot of other light weight services like MPD and apache2 and samba. Once I turned off folding@home it stopped happening. Is there something that can be done to up the scheduling priority for burning programs?

The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life -
http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-7.10-eol . As a result, we are closing the
linux-source-2.6.22 kernel task. It would be helpful if you could test the
new Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release and confirm if this issue remains -
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview. If the issue still exists with the Jaunty
release, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux (Ubuntu)"
task from "Incomplete" to "New". Also please be sure to run the command below

Sorry about the partial double apport-collect, little error.

Brasero error message when trying to write ISO:
BraseroGrowisofs stderr: :-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=3h/NO SEEK COMPLETE]: Input/output error

Above was the basic error log message for the problem.

Anyway, did some more searching around and someone suggested trying burning at the minimum speed.

I'm using 16x discs, and had tried burning at 8x without success, but I set the record speed to 4x... and it worked!!

Therefore, is this a bug or is it a physical problem with the drive? Anyone else with the error message tried burning at the lowest possible speed?
