[Bug 645050] [NEW] wodim reports "Errno: 5 ..." and cdrw keeps spinning

[mkluwe]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wodim

I'm using wodim 1.1.10 from Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS.

Wodim fails to burn a CD for me, output attached. Given some minimal
context, the output is

Sending CUE sheet...
SAO startsec: -12508
Writing lead-in...
Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error
CDB:  2A 00 FF FF FE 40 00 01 2A 00

Sense Code: 0x00 Qual 0x03 (setmark detected) Fru 0x0
Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) 
cmd finished after 148.840s timeout 200s
write CD-Text data: error after 1157760 bytes
wodim: Could not write Lead-in.
Errno: 5 (Input/output error), prevent/allow medium removal scsi sendcmd: fatal error

I attached the full output.

This occurs when running with -dummy and without. As a further mishap,
the cd drive keeps spinning and I cannot eject the media (I tried eject
in nautilus, the eject (1) command and the button on the physical
drive). The only working option is a reboot.

Strange enough, burning the image to a cdrw media works as expected.

Solely running my private hardware on linux since 1996 its quite funny
to see that cd burning keeps to be the only unreliable thing (for me) in
all these years...

In my desperation (and because this problem occured when I _really_
needed this burned cd) I installed nero from
http://www.nero.com/enu/linux4.html, which did the job. At least I'm
sure now that the device (a Samsung SH-S223C) basically works.
