So hal sees the drive and the capabilities, but does not detect the (empty) volume. Unfortunately I cannot tell much more from the currently existing information here.
If you insert a blank CD-ROM, wait a bit, and do "dmesg | tail" in a terminal, can you please copy&paste the output here? The only line that should appear after inserting a blank DVD is [12993.587466] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! (different timestamp at the front, of course). Also, it would be helpful to watch what hal is detecting. Can you please do the procedure on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHal and attach the log? Then we can compare it with the output on a system where it works (e. g. mine), see below. For the record, I also have an ATAPI burner, and Hardy uses the SCSI emulation. ----- snip ---- [10783]: 10:59:33.019 [D] addon-storage.c:542: Media insertion detected on /dev/scd0 10:59:33.020 [D] hald_dbus.c:1652: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVDRAM_GSA_4163B, key=storage.removable.media_available 10:59:33.023 [I] hald_dbus.c:3052: entering, local_interface=1 10:59:33.023 [D] hald_dbus.c:3061: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVDRAM_GSA_4163B 10:59:33.023 [I] blockdev.c:1674: blockdev_rescan_device: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVDRAM_GSA_4163B Run started hald-probe-storage (20000) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-storage', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' woohoo [10785]: 10:59:33.025 [D] probe-storage.c:155: Doing probe-storage for /dev/scd0 (bus scsi) (drive_type cdrom) (udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVDRAM_GSA_4163B) (--only-check-for-fs==1) [10785]: 10:59:33.025 [D] probe-storage.c:163: Doing open ("/dev/scd0", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK) [10785]: 10:59:33.027 [D] probe-storage.c:169: Returned from open(2) [10785]: 10:59:33.033 [D] probe-storage.c:310: Checking for optical disc on /dev/scd0 [10785]: 10:59:33.033 [D] probe-storage.c:318: Doing open ("/dev/scd0", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK | O_EXCL) [10785]: 10:59:33.036 [D] probe-storage.c:330: Open failed - Device Busy [10785]: 10:59:33.136 [D] probe-storage.c:334: Attempting open w/ O_EXCL again [10785]: 10:59:33.138 [D] probe-storage.c:348: PROBE HAS EXCLUSIVE LOCK ON CDROM [10785]: 10:59:33.141 [D] probe-storage.c:390: media size = 2048 [10785]: 10:59:33.142 [D] probe-storage.c:398: PROBE CLOSED LOCK ON CDROM 10:59:33.142 [I] hald_dbus.c:1342: storage.cdrom.read_speed -> 13850 10:59:33.142 [I] hald_dbus.c:1342: storage.cdrom.write_speed -> 11080 10:59:33.143 [I] hald_dbus.c:1320: strlist elem storage.cdrom.write_speeds -> 11080 10:59:33.143 [I] hald_dbus.c:1320: strlist elem storage.cdrom.write_speeds -> 5540 10:59:33.143 [I] hald_dbus.c:1366: storage.removable.media_available -> True 10:59:33.143 [I] hald_dbus.c:1350: storage.removable.media_size -> 2048 pid 10785: rc=2 signaled=0: /usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-storage 10:59:33.151 [I] blockdev.c:1630: hald-probe-storage --only-check-for-media returned 2 (exit_type=0) 10:59:33.151 [I] blockdev.c:1646: Media insertion detected with file system on main block device; synthesizing hotplug add 10:59:33.151 [I] osspec.c:966: hal_util_find_known_parent: '/sys/block/sr0/fakevolume'->'/sys/block/sr0' 10:59:33.151 [I] blockdev.c:874: block_add: sysfs_path=/sys/block/sr0/fakevolume dev=/dev/scd0 is_part=0, parent=0x006bed20 10:59:33.151 [I] blockdev.c:882: Handling /dev/scd0 as fakevolume - sysfs_path_real=(null) Run started hald-probe-volume (20000) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-volume', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' [10786]: 10:59:33.154 [D] probe-volume.c:379: Doing probe-volume for /dev/scd0 [10786]: 10:59:33.165 [D] probe-volume.c:390: volume.block_size = 2048 [10786]: 10:59:33.165 [D] probe-volume.c:394: volume.size = 2048 [10786]: 10:59:33.171 [D] probe-volume.c:445: Disc in /dev/scd0 probably blank [10786]: 10:59:33.175 [D] probe-volume.c:471: get_disc_type returned 0x1b [10786]: 10:59:33.178 [D] probe-volume.c:542: volume.disc.capacity = 4700372992 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1342: volume.block_size -> 2048 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1350: volume.size -> 2048 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1334: volume.disc.type -> unknown 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1366: volume.disc.has_audio -> False 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1366: volume.disc.has_data -> False 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1366: volume.disc.is_blank -> False 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1366: volume.disc.is_appendable -> False 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1366: volume.disc.is_rewritable -> False 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1366: volume.disc.is_blank -> True 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1342: volume.block_size -> 0 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1334: volume.disc.type -> dvd_plus_r 10:59:33.185 [I] hald_dbus.c:1350: volume.disc.capacity -> 4700372992 pid 10786: rc=0 signaled=0: /usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-volume 10:59:33.188 [I] blockdev.c:387: entering; exit_type=0, return_code=0 10:59:33.191 [I] blockdev.c:141: Add callouts completed udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_empty_dvd_plus_r 10:59:33.191 [D] device_store.c:516: adding 0x6bd240 to (linux.sysfs_path,/sys/block/sr0/fakevolume) 10:59:33.191 [I] hald.c:108: Added device to GDL; udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_empty_dvd_plus_r ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Fails to see blank CD/DVDs for writing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
