Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   Burn fails on both the Mini and the Macbook Pro. OS-X works, K3b
works. Both Mini and Macbook are early Intel machines with CoreDuo
processors.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     xfburn continues inop.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Had to install the K libraries :-(
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Here's the results of starting xfburn from the command line:

jeh@Mini:~$ xfburn
** Message: Using UDEV
** Message: Using gstreamer transcoder.

** (xfburn:3769): WARNING **: Read-only profile 0x8!

** (xfburn:3769): WARNING **: [FATAL] 131357: SCSI error on

** (xfburn:3769): WARNING **: [FATAL] 131339: Burn run failed (0)
^C
jeh@Mini:~$

xfburn writes the lead-in but fails to write any data.

Hi,

i am the developer of libburn which issued the error message
underneath xfburn.

The problem seems to be between drive and libburn. xfburn
itself has only a minor part in it.

Your drives tells libburn that the loaded medium can only perform
CD-ROM actions. I.e. it is a CD-ROM or a closed CD-R or closed CD-RW.

When xfburn requested write operations, nevertheless, the drive
complained that this was not allowed.


I would assume that xfburn should bail out already at the first
problem. If the drive says the medium is read-only, then it will
hardly be willing to perform a burn session.

Does that mean K3B worked with the same medium ?


Well, if you are sure that the medium used is writable,
then please post the output of the following commands.
I assume your drive's address is /dev/sr0:

  xorriso -scsi_log on -outdev /dev/sr0 -toc 2>&1 | tee -i /tmp/xorriso_log

  wodim -V -v dev=/dev/sr0 -toc 2>&1 | tee -i /tmp/wodim_log

xorriso uses libburn, wodim does not.

In case that it is indeed no CD but a DVD or BD, then use instead
of the wodim command.

  dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 -verbous 2>&1 | tee -i /tmp/mediainfo_log


Have a nice day :)
