Bug 57462 – cdrtools-2.01_alpha33 borken for SCSI cd-rws

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Colijn 2004-07-18 02:18:26 UTC]

Went from 2.01_alpha28-r1 to 33 the other day. I have a real SCSI burner (as in it's actually on an Adaptec SCSI card using the aic7xxx kernel module). With this new version of cdrtools (specifically cdrecord) I can't burn ISO images as a normal user or as root. I could do both before upgrading.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a system with a SCSI cd-rw.
2. Install cdrtools-2.01_alpha33
3. Try to burn an ISO image (either using command-line or nautilus-cd-burner)

Actual Results:  
Here's a transcript:

The ISO image is fine (I can burn it fine with an earlier version of cdrecord).

Expected Results:  
The ISO image should have been burned to the CD without errors.

alpha34 is out which fixes the problem here with my scsi burner, and also appears to fix the problem with others' ide burners.

[Comment 2 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) 2004-08-16 16:15:44 UTC]

Sorry for the long delay.  I just commited alpha36 which still should resolve your problem.
