brasero shows 0% done, while continues burning disc
Last modified: 2009-08-19 17:09:52 UTC
Please describe the problem: this bug was reported here originally: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/370999 and I can confirm it from personal experience description: "When burning data DVDs, roughly midway through the burning process, the progress bar disappears, the dialogue title shows "0% Done", and the listed data burned counter shows "0 MiB of {} MiB". No estimated completion time is shown. Estimated drive speed continues to show. If left alone, Brasero will successfully finish burning the DVD in the expected time and report such." this bug may be related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575238 Steps to reproduce: just burn any data dvd Actual results: at about half of the burning process progress indicators switch to 0, but burning continues and finishes correctly Expected results: indicate progress of burning correctly Does this happen every time? yes, anytime I try to burn a data dvd Other information:
I can confirm that this bug is occurring for me, too.
Created attachment 136081 [details] screenshots during dvd 16x 4.7GB burn Mine is burned at ~0.5x speeds As a sidenote, imgburn on windows works as expected. Attached screenshots: 0. Everything goes well until about 50%. 1. Afterwards, it continues, but the report does not show anything. The speed jiggles from 689KiB/s to 706KiB/s and vice versa, the burning keeps going. 2. Somewhere in the end, brasero shows progress again, but starts from 0% again. 3. Burn was successful. $ apt-cache policy brasero libbrasero-media0 brasero: Installed: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://rs.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.26.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://rs.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages libbrasero-media0: Installed: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://rs.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.26.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://rs.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages I'll try and send a debug
Created attachment 136082 [details] brasero debug log Note 1 (for "Everything goes well"): The speed is still always 0.5x, even though I chose 12x manually. Note 2: I tried it on data CDs creation and iso image burn. For this debug log: 1. I used: brasero --brasero-media-debug --debug &> brasero-debug.txt 2. Simulation and normal burn used. (Happens with and without simulation, during simulation and during normal mode) 3. Burnproof is enabled.
I am seeing this bug also. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Dell XPS M1530
Thanks for the report. I think I nailed down the bug. It was in wodim plugin that couldn't handle reporting the size of burnt data properly when it was over 2GiB. Now if you have growisofs, you shouldn't be using wodim in the first place (which is why I didn't see the bug for so long). I tried to fix that; please when 2.26.3 is installed on your computer make a test and see if you still have wodim burning DVDs. If so, let me know so I can fix that. Of course if you still see the problem, feel free to reopen the bug. Thanks a lot.
*** Bug 579459 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Thank you for the fix! Does this mean that brasero does not entirely depend on wodim if growisofs is available? Perhaps I should notify the packagers of various distributions to drop the dependency on wodim?
A quick workaround for this is explained here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/370999/comments/15 "But there is a quick and simple workaround to fix half of this problem. Using Gnome Configuration Editor navigate too: apps > brasero > config > priority [...] growisofs-burn = 1 (raises the priority forcing it to be choose) wodim-burn = -1 (disables it) "
Sorry, I forgot to mention the speed problem. The following comment suggests that instead of choosing "Max" for the maximum speed, you choose manually the speed (e.g. 16x): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/370999/comments/16
