I have posted a request for assistance on this issue in several forums without getting it fixed. I really hope that one of you will be able to help me!

Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake
Kernel 2.6.15-19-386
Problem device: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S KS0A
Here is a LINK to my post on the Ubuntu forums. It contains the debugging output from K3b.

When I installed Ubuntu 5.10 on a spare HD I was very happy with how easy it was to set up and get running. Setting up my conexant dial up modem sucked but other that it was smooth. The only thing that I could not get to work was my Lite-On DVDRW. It would not burn a CD or DVD. The strange thing was that it acted like it WAS burning it. The operation would complete without generating an error and it would eject the CD saying burn successful. When you put the disc back in Serpentine would pop back up saying "Hey guy you just put in a blank CD what do you want to do now?" So I thought it was an issue with Serpentine so I installed gnomebaker. Same thing there. I then tried K3b, cdrecord in the CLI, and Graveman all with the same results. I tried reinstalling cdrtools, cdrecord, and cdrdao and several different types of media. At last I downloaded KDE and tried it their (I know it wouldn't make a difference but I was grasping for straws! ) I posted a couple of times in the forums all to no avail. I jumped into the IRC channel just to see if they could help and was told to "just wait for dapper it is teh bestzors and will make everything all better.....it even roundhouse kicked Chuck Norris once". So I figure oh well Dapperclaus is coming in a few weeks so I will just suck it up and go on. Well guess what.......it still doesn't work. In the post that I linked to up top their I left the debug output from K3b if that helps. This is the last thing that is keeping me from dropping windows all together on my desktop so if anyone can help me I can offer up 2 virgins, 6 cabbages and a goat. Well ok maybe not but I will be forever endebted to you!

Can you provide the output of "dmesg" - It is possible that the system is trying to use the wrong driver for the device.

K3B also provides a log - Can you provide that for us too (even if it says success - IT still contains version numbers of teh software that's working behind the scenes)

Here is the output that I got from K3b. I removed the "X bytes of Track 1" so on and so forth to keep the space down. I am at work now (where Ubuntu 6.06 works flawlessly) but I will get the output of dmesg when I get off.

Can you check the permissions on /dev/hdc - Try setting them 0777 for testing purposes (although TBH I don't see any probolem with leaving them like that for a personal system).

Alright set it to 0777. Still no go!

Do you need the debugging output from this test?

It couldn't hurt.

The other possibility is that it did burn, but did so in a format not recognised properly. For a basic check, can you "see" any data on the disc? Generally a burned area looks a bit less shiny.

I would try the drive with ina different computer, or in windows, or a different distribution and see if that helps. You should also ceck that the versions of everything that you have installed are still the most recent - There is probably and update option in the Ubuntu package manager.

Also try running the burning program as "root". The concept of whcih is slightly mangled in ubuntu. Bascially, open a terminal, type "sudo bash" and enter your password again. You can then start the burning program by typing (for example) k3b.

There is no visible evidence of burning on the disks. When I use the drive in windows it works fine. I am using the latest version of K3b from the ubuntu repositories. The version of cdrecord in there is not the latest so I downloaded an compiled the newest version from source. Running the K3b in root i.e. "sudo k3b" yields the same results as always. This has really got me stumped here. One thing that I did is I burned a Audio disc. When I did that there was no visible burn mark but when you put the disc in it recognizes it as an audio CD. When you explore the files on the disc the file system is correct but all the files are 0kb's

Stranger and stranger and stranger.

Have you tried any other distributions? I would be tempted to get a LiveCD of something like Mandriva (I tihnk they have one out at the moment) and see if it works. The fact that there is a filesystem suggests that it CAN burn, it just isn't burning the right thing. It could be a problem with cdrecord software, of possibly drivers for the IDE controller or SCSI emulation which Linux uses for CD burning.
