[opensuse] Problems burning DVDs
I posted earlier about problems burning DVDs and the problem is still there. This has been an issue in openSUSE 11.0 and in Kubuntu 8.04 as well... so I don't think that it is an OS specific problem... but whatever it is, I haven't yet resolved it and I could use a little nudge in the right direction. Basically, I start a DVD burn on a known good ISO (tested, checked MD5s etc) and part way in, the burn fails. I have replaced the hardware (new DVD burner) and get the same behavior). I have replaced the OS (moved to openSUSE 11.0) and the problem is still there. The only thing that has not been replaced is the motherboard and the ribbon cable. This was a working DVD burner setup last week (burnt a couple DVD ISOs).... and no hardware/software changes (before I started tinkering to try and find out why it stopped working).

Kick the speed down to 1x and see if that helps. It might not be hardware, it might be a media problem. I've seen bad batches of media exhibit this type of problem and cutting the speed of the burn down seems to help.

Try checking memory. I realize it is a long shot, but my daughter could not burn a DVD on her laptop (I was troubleshooting from 13 timezones away), and it became clear she had a stick of bad memory. Testing for a while with memtest revealed the errors, and when she removed the bad stick, she was able to burn the DVD. Evidently, burning the DVD used more memory than she normally used (though her laptop had many other varied symptoms of problems). Just an idea. She could even burn a CDR (I would guess because of less memory needed. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Time zone space is not the same as physical space. You can be up to 23 time zones away and if you position two people correctly, they can shake hands across the 23 zones. Kind of like meeting yourself coming. Spend a few years flying internationally and you'll appreciate the difference. :-) Don Henson

Is that something like the Twilight Zone? "There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone." ;-) -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Can you burn a cd but not a dvd? My solution is similar to hanging chicken bones but it worked for me. After days of trying all kinds of things and making many coasters, out of curiosity/desperation I booted into root and tried running k3b and it surprisingly completed a dvd burn. So then I went back to user and it has been working ever since! Yes, I had tried changing permissions and all the other stuff like reinstalling growisofs, etc., and nothing worked. Besides, what do you have to lose??

Unfortunately some of the growisofs error message is missing. But the probable error is 04:08:03 (see below). However the SK=04 group of errors includes a couple of other things (including a cleaning request). I would run growisofs at the CLI to confirm this is indeed the error.

I have tried several different media types and brands... DVD RM, -R and +R... all exactly the same. I will see if I can scrounge up a new cable.. doesn't seem logical that a cable can fail after being in a case for... years... and working fine all that time. The cables are not subjected to being moved about etc. Anyway, I appreciate the suggestions, and will give them al a try and see what happens.

Anyway, I appreciate the suggestions, and will give them al a try and see what happens.
Finally had an opportunity to power down and replace the data cable on the DVD drive... so I have replaced the DVD burner, and the cable... I have installed a new OS (openSUSE 11.0) and tested with other Linux installs (eg Kubuntu 8.04). I have bought a bunch of different brands of DVDRW, DVD+R, and DVD-R to test with. My test ISO is the openSUSE 11.0 i386 DVD ISO which passes the MD5 test and is known to work (I used that ISO to make a bootable USB drive and have installed several systems using that bootable USB drive). So far.. every DVD I've made fails. Before replacing the data cable, the DVDs would fail the media test immediately with a low numbered sector error. Now, I can test almost the whole DVD and at about 90 or 92% it fails with an unreadable sector error. Commercial DVDs I put into the drive before changing the cable could not always be mounted correctly (eg my X-Plane DVD). After replacing the cable all commercial DVDs I tested worked fine. Not sure what else I can do here other than replace the motherboard - something I'm not so keen on doing. No errors are reported during the burn since replacing the cable... but the result is still a failed DVD. So.. at this point... I give up on being able to burn DVDs on this hardware (even though at least when I had 10.2 installed I had zero problems burning DVDs with this hardware) unless someone has an "a-ha" moment and has another suggestion.

I didn't follow *all* the thread, so I don't know if you tested the ram with memtest86?

Hmmm.... RAM... :-( Well.... I don't know if it is a problem or not. Long story. Short of it is I have an Asus M2N motherboard with 4GB of 800MHz Kingston Value RAM. If I run it at full speed, it has.. issues. This is a known problem regardless of OS with the Kingston RAM I have in combination with the motherboard. The timings as given in the BIOS are not right. There is no BIOS update available from ASUS, and the Kingston datasheets do not provide enough information to figure out what goes into the 21 different RAM timing settings in the BIOS. The solution is to throttle back the RAM speed to 667MHz and all is OK with the timing then. This was done long before DVD burns stopped working, so.. I hope that it's not related. There was a fairly extensive RAM test done when I was trying to sort the RAM timing issues, but it was several months ago.

Agreed. I have tried it with other Linux installs (before replacing the data cable and DVD burner) with the same results. I have a feeling it will have to limp along unresolved until next year or longer until i replace the motherboard (if that is the root of the problem). :-( C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Why not just su to root and try this? Logging in as root ought to be avoided where possible.

A working system went wrong from a day to the other. I replaced my 40-strings ribbon cable to a 80 strings ribbon cable, and it seems to work again. I read somewhere that DMA enabled burners don't like 40 strings ribbon cables. HTH.

It is quite logical. Operating system will set speed higher that 40 leads can carry and drive will have to deal with a lot of transmission errors. How that will reflect on drive operation depends how many errors will firmware and OS tolerate. In any case, if it will work it will be very slow transfer due to number of error correction requests. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Errrrrrrrr .. The differance between 40 way and 80 way ribbons is down to shielding between cores to prevent data crossover (that should be induced data crossover) by placing an grounded conductor between each data carrying condictor Pete -- SuSE Linux 10.3-Alpha3.

Errrrrrrrrr .. There is also a transmission line effect that preserves the signal waveform much better than the relatively loose wires shown by the 40-line ribbon. This, really, is a more important effect. Every wire's signal is guided (and, yes, shielded) by the two adjacent ground wires. 80-wire ribbons give both signal-enhancing effects.
