Hi, recentyly I've installed Ubuntu 8.04. One of my problems with it is that I can't burn any cd/dvds in any application. For example in K3B I add files to the compilation and click "Burn".Then I select "Verify written data","Multisession: no multisession" and set the speed to 4x and again click "Burn". After 3 seconds I get an error:"Could not determine size of resulting image file" and everything stops. The debugging output contains: /usr/bin/genisoimage exists and /usr/bin/mkisofs is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/genisoimage. In Ubuntu 7.10 everything was working good without such problems. The same dvd burns great under Windows. This Ubuntu 8.04 installation is fresh. I've just installed K3B and some media codecs. I even tried reinstalling. What can be wrong ? Please help.
Yes it does but Brasero tries to burn the data on dvd. However it's error log is 11MB big after burning. It says that every file was not burned without errors.
you shuld install arson try apt-get install arson, or just look for it on the web make sure you start the program with sudo. you can find more help for your desktop at: scripts-net
I don't have it now so I can't tell if it works or not. Unfortunately I can't install it now (no Internet connection). I've installed NeroLinux (trial) and it works but I'd like to use free software for burning cds/dvds.
NeroLinux? Dude: Ubuntu 8.04 seems to work for most right out off the "live disk". Better yet, Ubuntu 7.10, in my experience, is relatively bullet-proof and as Mr. Falco suggests, Brasero, the default burner works quite well. I think that's why he suggested Brasero. Good Luck! http://www.nedeldredge.com
Yes, I understand the idea but K3B should also work "out of the box". When I'll be able to install Brasero I'll do it and post what I came out with.
Hey! K3b was voted LinuxQuestions.org's Multimedia Utility of the Year (2006) by the majority (70%) of voters. (source:Wikipedia) Thanks for the response! Am sure you know what your doin'...
you wont beleive it , i am using the same HL-DT-ST , and beleive meit is teh worst product. my writer , after usingg it for 2 yeras just can only write 20 MB , unbelieveabley just 20 mb , i called teh rendor they said it has justa like i have destryed the lense by inserting local disk.
I still have that problem because I'm grounded (no Internet connection at home) but I'll do more tests and reinstalls. My burner works very well on Windows and I'm very happy of it.Maybe You got a damaged burner ?
I have just fully updated my Ubuntu 8.04 and once again tried to burn a DVD. This time it worked. I'm not really sure what fixed the problem but I bet it was the updates.
Disk Checksum in Brasero How do you do a disk integrity check in Basero? It solved the k3b bug so I can now burn...
Man I’m sorry that I can’t help you with the Ubuntu 8.04 But I’m sure that I can help you in another way. Go to the site http://freecddvdburner.com/ And download the program StarBurn, this one is a powerful burning a grabbing software with not only you will be able burn CDs also DVDs, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD media. It also allows you to split DVD-Video discs into smaller parts and burn them to DVD writable discs and watch DVD videos directly on your PC. And the best of all is that is a 100% free. Hope you funded useful.
First of all you can uninstall K3B and then reinstall K3B software and then you can check with burn process. And then if problem continue then you have to download latest version of that burning software.
