pBurn 4.3.19

Thanks for your report.
I tried to mount my ntfs disk (made in Gparted) and it all worked in 3.01, so I need your (or someone else) help. Does it occur with both CD and DVD? Does it occur both with singlesession and multisession? What version of Puppy are you using? Is the ntfs-disk your system disk? Do you have access to try it on another system?...

The commands running when checking media is:

Code: Select all

#(/dev/cdrom should be your burner)
cddetect -d/dev/cdrom
dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cdrom
mount | grep "/dev/cdrom"
cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom -msinfo

You can try these one by one, to determine which gives trouble on your system.

The line spacing issue, seems to be a bug in Xdialog logbox. It could be an alternative to use a terminal to show progress, but....It's end up with a matter of liking. It is on my todo-list (wish-list), so I'll keep an eye on it.

zigbert,

Just tried a pristine puppy 3.01 and the check media works fine . Then I added the cdrda0-1.2.1 pet using the package manager and the problem appears. Something in the cdrdao package is screwing things up. I tried all the commands you listed, but none cause the problem , yet pburn still has a long disk thrashing pause checking media

Since your compiling skills are excellent, I guess your also into some bash!

Would you please insert some 'xmessage "marker"' in the media-check-code. Then you could find out where it hangs. The code is in the file /usr/local/pburn/func, around line 414.

Here I have put in 12 markers that can tell us where error occur.

Okay, ran with all the xmessage lines trying to burn an iso file from the ide hard drive to a CD. The problem is not in that part of the code. I think it is in the func_build_command called at line 518. Unfortunately it is going to be over a week before I can look at this again as I am off on Holiday with the family.

i failed to record a dvd on optiarc burner drive with pburn 0.9
i used default settings to burn
also erase disk did not work
where to find the log of errors?

[zigbert]

If Pburn doesn't show complete errorlog (there is a logbox), copy the command from the advanced tab (burn-dialog) to a terminal. Execute it from there.

concerning the strange look of the logbox:
cdrecord uses Windows linefeeds.

It can be corrected like this I think:
/usr/local/pburn/func_exec

Line 15:
old:

Code: Select all

	/tmp/pburn-exec >> $LOG 2>&1

new:

Code: Select all

	/tmp/pburn-exec  | sed "s/\r/\n/g">> $LOG 2>&1

I have no CD-RWs here, so someone please test it.

Version 0.9.1 is uploaded. See main post.

I'm glad you tried, but logbox becomes empty

Sigmund

[MU]

please try instead:
| tr '\r' '\n'

Mark

[MU]

or maybe put this not after
/tmp/pburn-exec, but after the cdrecord command.
I don't know if "|" buffers output.

If that does not help, the log might be simply to long to be displayed in a list quickly.
We might need a selfwriten log-viewer then.
Mark

[MU]

I wrote a new logbox:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 280#167280

If required, I can add changes

Mark

[zigbert]

The tr command fixed it for cdrecord, but failed for mkisofs, so I followed your last advice.

Code: Select all

TMP=`cat /tmp/pburn-exec | grep cdrecord`
sed -i -e "s%$TMP%$TMP | tr '\r' '\n' %g" /tmp/pburn-exec

gtklogfileviewer would be the greatest hit if it could be used inside a gtkdialog gui. As I see it, showing logs is one of the two big lacks of gtkdialog. The other is to show pictures.

Thank you Mark

hi guys,
i just ruined a CD-R while trying to copy an audio CD. i've been using gcombust - uses cdrecord. problem is, it creates a 2 seconds gap between tracks. i found out i had to write in DAO mode, got an error saying my drive doesn't support it. i gave a try with pregap=0, made no change and i just ruined a second CD-R.

so, i downloaded pburn - looks real nice ! - and tried "copy" it said to me i need cdrdao. I read the same on internet, for straight copies, so i was confident and downloaded cdrdao. I launch pburn again, it works, copies the source CD to hard drive, but then tries to connect to cddb.org or sth (what the h*** do i need track information ) result: no burning because of connection failure.
what can i do? i just want a straight copy ! i used to do it with Nero under Windows, so i know my drive can do it

i may try to select "Media type: Data-CD", so i won't get the cddb thing, but really it's an audio CD, and i don't want to ruin more discs any ideas? if it's possible to disable this cddb.org, tell me where i can do it definitely

[zigbert]

What can I say:
This code was taken from Grafburn, and as we both understand, I haven't done a good enough job when checking it for Pburn. But that's what betas are for Thank you for reporting this. Pburn 1.0.0 is not intended to support CD-text. We'll leave that for a later edition.

This bug will be fixed in 0.9.2. If you do not want to wait, and want your music burnt NOW, edit the file /usr/local/pburn/func_copy. Line 21. Remove the parameter --with-cddb

cdrdao read-cd --datafile "$OUTDIR"/pburn-audiocd.bin --with-cddb --device $BURNDEV /tmp/pburn-audiocd.toc

Sigmund

[Botanic]

zigbert,

i removed this parameter in line 21.
However, there is still an attempt to connect to cddb.org. it's followed by an error message

However i caught the process with the Process Lister, and found this one:
cdrdao copy --with-cddb --on-the-fly --source-device

(this is obviously line 200 in func_copy)

But, the parameter --on-the-fly is there, although i chose to use a temporary storage on /tmp.

[zigbert]

I'll check it out!

I wonder. For me it looks like you have more than 1 CD-reader/burner? Is this correct.

I wonder. Are you connected to internet, when getting the error of connecting to freedb.org?

[Botanic]

yes, i have a CD/DVD reader (that i use to copy to hard disk) and a CD burner.

i am connected to internet, though through a restricted server, i mean i always have issues with software trying to connect the internet directly, so that's no surprise for me that it doesn't work in this case.

anyway, i suppose you tested the copy function

here's what i did:
after opening pburn, i go in Burn/Copy disc
then i select the 2 drives "from" and "to", which are well detected, i specify Media type: Audio-CD, click on "copy"
the next dialog box asks me to chose "on the fly" or a temporary folder.
then there is the copy, and the error at the end of that.

i checked again that the process is:
cdrdao copy --with-cddb --on-the-fly --source-device
