Bug#998718: Brasero fails (on Testing) burning an ISO image on a CD-RW

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

i managed to start fvwm2 (by Ctrl+Alt+F2 in the XFCE login window and
startx /usr/bin/fvwm2) and tried whether Brasero and ASUS drive have a
better relationship then.
They don't. It's as bad as with XFCE.

The Brasero run was started with a blank CD-RW in the drive and came,
with two pauses of a minute, up the "Checkreading" stage. Then it
complained that the drive was in use and the ASUS drive went unusable
as with the XFCE tests.

After a power cycle i verified that the CD was burned completely and
tried whether readom is to blame:

  readom dev=/dev/sr0 f=cdimage.raw

It isn't. The drive stays usable after aborting readom with Ctrl+C because
it was stuck with futile retries to read the two TAO Run-out sectors at
the end of the track. The MD5 of cdimage.raw then matches the ISO image.

The CD does not get automounted with fvwm2. So this aspect of XFCE is
not a suspect any more.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
