Public bug reported:
I am having lots of trouble burning a cd image. The default tool makes
my computer INCREDIBLY laggy. It always lags, and watching the memory,
it looks like it has NO method of caching at all. I figured the lag
stems from IO wait stemming from dispersed harddrive requests.
This was past experience.
I tried it again to see if it was still happening that way, and it was,
so I canceled and rebooted.
After that I opened up Brasero. Brasero I think inadvertently caches
because it does a scan of the image before starting again. Thats a
little better, and works fine for me, since I have 2g of ram, which is
of course plenty to cache a cd image.
At some point, I selected to just run a simulation. I started it. I
lost my mouse. At the time, I thought that my system was just grinding
to a halt, since, it was grinding to a halt. Later, I realized that my
keyboard was responding to certain keystrokes, and magically, an alt-tab
brought everything back to life. I could click again!
(Note, I said my keyboard was only responding to certain keystrokes.
Here is what happened. I happened to have a terminal open. I learned
that I could type in it. I have a shortcut key that can open gnome-
terminals, but that wasn't working. anyway)
After the simulation, Brasero decides to burn the cd automatically,
giving me 10 seconds to cancel. This frustrated me, since I hadn't
recovered my mouse at the time.
After it finishes recording, it ejects the cd, and then declares that is
going to run a checksum on the cd. Except, it never pulls the cd back
in. Great... I push it back in.
Now, at the time of this writing, it is stuck at %93 of the checksum
process. (annd... I'm hitting cancel)
This is all to burn intrepid alpha 4, so I will check that out, and see
if I get better results. But, on hardy, this is very buggy.
