Can't copy audio CDs

Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

When I try to copy an audio CD, n-c-b seems to create the disk image and TOC file ok (using cdrdao) but wodim fails to burn the image to a CD-R, claiming that there is not enough space on the CD-R.

To debug this problem I used the gconf editor to turn on the "debug" flag for n-c-b, and it seems that wodim is getting very confused about how much data it is being asked to write. I'll attach the debug output.

I think my hardware, kernel etc is ok, as I can successfully use cdrdao to burn the image it creates, ie it's when n-c-b tries to burn the image using wodim that the problems occur.

Thank you for your bug. How do you copy from nautilus? With the right click option on the drive? Does running the same command work fine?

Hi, yes I normally start to copy by right clicking on the desktop icon that comes up for the audio CD. However to produce the error log I had attached, I ran n-c-b from a terminal window. The error dialog it popped up (after it had finished reading the audio CD, prompted me, and I'd inserted a blank CD-R) was the same in both cases.

If I attempt to run wodim in the way that n-c-b does (ie I execute the command "cdrecord fs=16m dev=/dev/hda -eject -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad /tmp/image.iso.U0RFPT" in a terminal window) then I see it produce the same errors as were present in the n-c-b log file that I've attached.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Although you used a bad fork from cdrecord instead of the
original software, your problem is rather related to a bug in the GUI you are using.

If you like to create a perfect copy of an audio CD; do the folowing:

fetch recent original software from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

compile and install (the latter as root)

then call:

cdda2wav -vall -B -cddb=1 -paranoia
cdredord -v -sao -text -useinfo audio*.wav

If you have more then one drive on your system, first call cdrecord -scanbus
and add a dev= parameter with the right arg from the scanbus output.

For some drives (e.g. LIteOn) you need to replace -sao by -raw96r
-raw96r should work with most drives and then it will create better
results than -sao.

Hi, sorry for the delay.

I haven't tried this with either Intrepid or Jaunty (I had a few other issues with Intrepid), but it does seem to work for me now with Hardy.

So from my perspective, it looks fixed.
