Brasero can't copy an AudioCD or burn a toc/bin image

Created attachment 162676 [details] Screenshot :) I was trying to make a copy of an AudioCD (with no copy protection or anything like that, it was simply a collection of home-recorded tracks), I inserted the CD, right clicked on the CD icon in Nautilus and clicked "Make a Copy". Brasero popped up, I clicked "Burn", but it failed giving me with no useful information. I somehow (I think I used cdrdao) ripped the CD to a bin/toc file and tried to burn from the image file instead of letting Brasero rip the CD, but it failed again, still for no apparent reason. The error message was in both occasions "All required applications and libraries are not installed. Please install the following manually and try again:.". Yeah, it ended like that, with no list of software to install. I tried burning the image on another machine (both are running Ubuntu Lucid), it asked me to install cdrdao and toc2cue (the latter is in the cdrdao package), which I did, but then it failed again, displaying the same error message I got on the first machine. I attached a not-so-useful screenshot. For the record (pun intended) I saved the day making a copy of the CD using the CLI cdrdao application, making kindergarten kids happy (it was a present :) Ubuntu Lucid ships Brasero 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 I reported this bug in Ubuntu's bug tracker too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/589289
Hi thanks for the report. The truncated and useless message about missing element is a duplicate of #617222. This has been fixed in master and gnome-2-30 branch (available for 2.30.2). As in the other bug mentionned above the problem with cdrdao seems that ubuntu ships a weird version of cdrdao that does work with "cdrdao version" (which should return the version). If you upgrade cdrdao to 1.2.3 it seems to be fine, cdrdao is picked up and used by brasero. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617222#c3 So all in all this should be fixed if you update cdrdao to 1.2.3 (as the message and the problem of cue burning will go away). The ideal would be to upgrade brasero from git as well. I'd recommend to do that as it fixes some side problems with audio burning as well. I set this bug to needinfo until you can test this new version (either from current git or when 2.30.2 hits ubuntu shelves) and let me know if I was right. If the problem still exists please attach a log "brasero -g > log 2>&1" to this bug. Thanks a lot.
Forgot to mention, you'll be better off with the new version of brasero especially for audio copy. I decided to use (as much as possible) readom/wodim (or ideally the original still maintained version cdda2wav/cdrecord) instead of cdrdao since I noticed that cdrdao did not reliably copy CD-TEXT and caused other errors. Hopefully audio copy should work much better now.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!
