Thread: CD/DVD Burner Incompatibility

first off wanted made ubuntu possible. in opinion best distro out there. i'm have nagging problem burner on lenovo y560 comes matshita dvd-ram uj890 , i'm using 11.10 ubuntu(all packages updated). in every distro i've ran i've no matter ubuntu,kubuntu,xubuntu,opensuse, same burning problems...pun intended.

record error random buffer problems try using different write speed, or on next attempt try using different write mode.

have gone through numerous discs try solve , think lies somewhere linux's ability calibrate the proper power. had no problems in windows (i hate windows) prosupport dell , have fix hundreds of cases windows on daily basis. home laptop use *buntu versions. anyway started getting consistent debug log after manually dropped burn speed down 4x, says burner doesnt support 4x , bumps 8x promptly fails @ least still 1 error message now. full debug log below.

also, have tried running root, , i've set , set , reset permissions root. i'm using k3b, 1 can work when 1 out 50 times. i'm not joking. i'm willing admit bought cheap office depot brand of cdrs, damnit have 2 whole cake boxes cant return. doubt cdr's lets try fix before jump ship , cdrs, can retry on same disc failed burn many times , burn after many failed attempts. confusing right? anyway, of sherlocks out there 1 figure out. in advance. edit** don't know if matters im using 32bit because told better supported 64bit. if 64bit has fix jumpship.

looks have bug of sort, or perhaps drive firmware in need of update.
drive appears on ubuntu certified hardware lists - have @ this page
