Bug#617409: brasero: Brasero corrupts all blank CD-R when burning (was: additional info)

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

in order to apply George's patch anyway, i have tried to disable
libburn so that growisofs would be used with DVD.
No success.
Both, growisofs and libburn are enabled but also greyed, so that i
cannot change their checkboxes.

Whatever, just in case it brings any new insight:

  $ cd brasero-2.30.3
  $ mv ~/check-child-status debian/patches/check-child-status
  $ echo check-child-status >> debian/patches/series
  $ dpkg-buildpackage

... time enough for a tea break ...

  # apt-get --purge remove brasero
  # apt-get install libbrasero-media0
  # dpkg -i brasero_2.30.3-2_amd64.deb

  $ brasero &

Well, it still burns readable DVD.
How to get a log file ?
Just try burning another DVD, fail, and get offered to save a log.
Life is so easy ... :))
It still uses libburn, not growisofs.

But no further insight:

+               BRASERO_JOB_LOG (data, "process exited with status %d", WEXITSTATUS (status));
+               BRASERO_JOB_LOG (data, "process killed by signal %d", WTERMSIG(status));
+               BRASERO_JOB_LOG (data, "process stopped by signal %d", WSTOPSIG(status));

The word "process" does not appear in the log of the failed run.
It did not get that far, i assume.

> +               printf("process exited, status=%d\n", WEXITSTATUS(status));
> +               printf("process killed by signal %d\n", WTERMSIG(status));
> +               printf("process stopped by signal %d\n", WSTOPSIG(status));

Nothing to see of those in xterm where i started brasero.
Not with the successful runs either.


Have a nice day :)
