Burning data CD using brasero get stuck at 100% and the dialog box only show Creating image checksum, empty progress bar, and a cancel button, and the disk is not spinning anymore in my cd writer. Simply click cancel will make the cd blank, i have try with some new an used CD-RW disc but stilk no luck. I'm on Raring.

First solution:

Just disable the checksum: Open Brasero > Edit > Plugins > Uncheck Image Checksum.

Second solution:

Install cdrdao and this should solve the problem. Unfortunately, it can't solve it in the middle of the burning process.

sudo apt-get install cdrdao

  • Doesn't work either, still stuck at 100% even when checksum is disabled but this time my CD keep spinning in the drive. Looks like my CD writer isn't compatible with Ubuntu, guess I better buy a new one, modern hardware tends to work better in Linux. – Nur Nov 23 '13 at 02:45
  • On the other place someone suggested to use k3b. But that's already becomes too far from simply using the native apps... – valk Nov 23 '13 at 09:16
  • I can't believe but this happens with external USB based burner on 16.04... – Aleksandar Pavić Jun 16 '20 at 05:59

k3b has been a standard on my machines for over a decade. It just works (TM). I was having the same problem with Brasero/gnome CD creator and just installed it. Problem solved.

The nice thing about Linux is it doesn't really matter what desktop/native environment you have, you can use applications from others. apt/yum will install all the needed libraries.
