I am afraid I am having the same problem with a Sony Spressa USB CD-R/CD-RW drive. I get the exact same output as above. I remember being able to record with this drive on ubuntu for as long as I can remember (breezy maybe? or maybe even hoary...) Also, since I have to disk drives (the previously described CDR/RW and a CDRom drive), I tried putting one of my ubuntu cds in the drives to see what happens. The CD mounts in the CDRom drive, but fails to do so in the external drive. I don't know if that is also happening to Wenzhuo Zhang, since he did not say...
BTW,What do you mean when you say it's a linux bug, Sebastien? If I load one of my previous kernels with grub (say, one that was with edgy), will it work - I know the dangers of working with old kernels, but I NEED this to work... -- feisty doesn't work with external CD writers anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
