Often it works just to start writing a first session. This can be done in Pburn 3.7.0 by activating the checkbox - Overwrite existing data on disc. You'll find this in the burn-option dialog. If you don't reach it because Pburn detects a corrupted disc, please try to start Pburn with the -c switch

Code: Select all

pburn -c

You can also do it the cli way by simply executing a burn command like

Code: Select all

growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -f -iso-level 3 -D -R -J -joliet-long /root/.pburn

or try to format the disc

Code: Select all

dvd+rw-format -force /dev/sr0

this does not seem to work for all kinds of BD drives.... A full format is also a choice, but takes very long time.

Code: Select all

growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/zero

The drive doesn't even report that there's a disk in it - any kind of disk - so Pburn just says "No disk inserted" and does nothing. The drive doesn't see my multisession Puppy DVD either. I've already bought a new Blu-Ray burner, an Asus BW-12B1ST, I just haven't replaced the bad one with it yet.

But this code does not work for 'pt' vs. 'pt_BR' and etc.

Both pburn and pmusic kills another applications when exiting pburn or pmusic.

Occurred pburn killed geaney. Probably because the geaney was accessing the /usr/locak/pburn directory.

pmusic killed ffconvert. Probably because both were using ffmpeg.

Thank you for the corrections!

I have changed the help-code to:

Code: Select all

	[ $LANGUAGE = auto ] && NLS=$LANG || NLS=$LANGUAGE #$NLS is temporarly, and only used here
	if [ -f /usr/share/doc/help/${NLS%.*}/pburn.html ]; then
		$BROWSER /usr/share/doc/help/${NLS%.*}/pburn.html &
	elif [ -f /usr/share/doc/help/${NLS%_*}/pburn.html ]; then #fallback to macrolanguage if available (ISO 639-1 two letter code: en, es, fr, etc.)
		$BROWSER /usr/share/doc/help/${NLS%_*}/pburn.html &
	else
		$BROWSER /usr/share/doc/pburn.html &
	fi

works ok with both pt and pt_BR.

I haven't seen Pburn kill anything (else you use the emergency button). - I have Geany open 'all' the time ...... ???

Yes, Pmusic kills ffmpeg. We should look for an improved solution to kill only ffmpeg that is Pmusic-related.
line 25 in func_kill

Code: Select all

	for I in `echo "$TMP" | grep -F "ffmpeg" | awk '{print $1}'`; do kill -9 $I 2> /dev/null; done

Maybe it is rare case and not serious.

Open any file under /usr/local/pburn by geaney.
Start pburn.
Quit pburn.

A few weeks ago I noticed that Pburn seemed to cause Geany to close when Pburn was opened. At least, I think it was Pburn. It's been a while.

I tried to burn 22 GB of mp3 files from a flash drive onto a BD-RE the other day and the burner, an LG, stopped at 45% done, apparently broken. It wouldn't read any kind of disk at all. So I bought a new burner, an Asus this time, and continued to experiment with BD-RE. I tried full blanking the BD-RE with Pburn 3.7.0. It got 45% of the way through before it, too, stopped with an error message. I tried to save the log but I guess I clicked the wrong button or something because I couldn't find the log where I thought I put it. So I tried fast blanking the BD-RE disk. That seemed to work ok. But when I again tried to burn the 22 GB of mp3 files, Pburn stops immediately with this error:

Code: Select all

Pburn version 3.7.0

###################################################
   OUTPUT:
###################################################
:-( /dev/sr0 doesn't look like isofs...

As far as I can tell, there is nothing on the disk at all. There certainly shouldn't be anything on it. But why does Pburn seem to expect to find an isofs on it? Do I need to format it now? Can Pburn do that? Even though the drive does see the disk (the disk icon shows up on the desktop after I put the disk in the drive), Puppy can't mount it. I assume that's because there is no filesystem on the disk.

This is interesting!
Did you read the red message introduced in 3.7.0?
Did you understand it?
Or, didn't it work to 'overwrite existing data'?

Sigmund, I did see the message about not needing to blank. At the time, I was trying to burn the 22 GB of mp3 files to the BD-RE that my old Blu-Ray burner quit halfway through burning the same files. The disk would mount and seemed to have ALL the mp3 files on it that were supposed to be there, so I didn't know what was going on and decided to blank it so that I could be sure of what I was seeing when Pburn tried again with the new burner.

This morning I had trouble getting on the forum at first, so I installed Firefox from the package manager, thinking that perhaps I had borked my SeaMonkey somehow. After Firefox was installed, the package manager reported something like "core_utils_dvd_rw_tools is missing". Could that cause a problem with Pburn, and where can I find that missing file? It's not in Racy's repository.

(I should mention before I forget to do it again that I'm running Puppy Racy 5.3 from a multisession DVD.)

I doubt you miss anything to burn Blu-ray/DVD.
You can test it with these 2 commands. If the result is like shown everything is ok

Code: Select all

# which growisofs
/usr/bin/growisofs
# 
#
# which mkisofs
/usr/bin/mkisofs

Perhaps I've told Pburn the wrong name for the drive. I used sr0, which is what it reported. No, I told Pburn to blank the disk again and here's the log report:

Code: Select all

I blanked the disk again, then attempted to burn the same thing to it with the same result. Again I tried to save the Pburn log and again it wasn't where I thought it should be. This time I also took a screen shot of the error message:

Did you check the overwrite-box?

in console launched pburn produces this:

----> the structure was this: /usr/share/doc/pburn.html

I had linux installation stuff in dvd, imaged from iso file.
I wanted to blank it. Yeah I know...you have told that it is not
necessary, but old habits....

Code: Select all

growisofs -use-the-force-luke=notray -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/zero

This is not a fast blank... I see your errors, but lacks knowledge to tell what's wrong.

Pburn uses

Code: Select all

dvd+rw-format -force /dev/sr0

for fast blanking, and it works ok for DVD, but troubles with BD (at least for me).

The whole new idea is to avoid blanking for DVD/BD, but we need to finetune how to tell this to the users. That is why I am interested what Flash (and all others) actually read and do.

I used burniso2cd for imaging the iso. Because it took so long for Pburn to creating commands or something. But now I used Pburn for imaging....I waited kindly enough minutes so that it started and burned the iso image.
This time the dvd was blanked nicely with Pburn. I have to also tell that my dvd burner is not in its best shape anymore and the dvd rw disk is also quite old, eventhough in good shape, no scratches.
So...just dismiss my previous report. I thought it could be useful to report but...I think not anymore. I could remove the whole post and reference this.....

Ah, good find. We didn't discover that workaround when I reported this years ago. I'll have to use Geany when I mess around with Pburn and co now.
