This bug has been opened here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16376 "I've noticed that when burning dvds nautilus opens & then closes the burner's tray just before finishing the recording session. All media recorded with this bug appear to be perfectly written, but I don't understand why it opens & then closes the tray. If the medium is ejected I assume the burning session has been finished, so why close the tray again? Also, after nautilus closing the tray the message "closing media" is shown & then the dialog indicating the disc is burned shows. I can then hit the close or make another copy buttons. I'm using breezy up to date in an amd64. I've only noticed this happens with dvds (in my case the last time it happened I was using memorex dvd-r 4.7gb medium with a nec ND-2510A dvd burning drive.)"
Where is the "closing media" message displayed? Can you ask the user to set /apps/nautilus-cd-burner/debug to TRUE, run nautilus-cd-burner from the commandline, and post the output here? Is this version compiled with HAL support?
Yes, it is. (I asked the user)
ubuntu bug comments: "ok, here's the description of the process: once the files I want to burn are selected in the nautilus bruning folder I launch the nautilus-cd-burner (in this case from the command line). Then, the image file is created. This message is displayed in the window nautilus-cd-burner shows it's progress. Once the image is done, the window changes to "Recording DVD". Everything starts fine. Now here's the bug: Once the dvd is nearly recorded (the progress bar is finishing: the debug info on colose shows "reloading tray" of growisofs) the tray is opened & then closed. The dialog shows: "finishing writing". The, the tray is opened again but this time the dialog shows "finished" & the make another copy & close buttons appear in the main window. I've translated some of this messages since I'm using spanish locales, but they should be ok. The problem appears to be the "reloading tray" of growisofs. http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=4152 nautilus cd burner output I've included the whole growisofs output & the end of make_iso output. I had to copy the output directly from the console because I didn't redirect stderr, I copy the output directly from the console (shame on me). Anyway, I think the problem is in the growisofs part. If you need a more complete output I can do another recording session. "
OK, that helps a lot. See, "Why media reload is performed after every recording with growisofs?" in <http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/>. So, I don't think there is anything that we can do in n-c-b to change this.
thank you for pointing that
