Copying an audio CD in ubuntu
Today I needed to make a copy of a CD in ubuntu, and I came across a problem:
My laptop has one drive only, so the normal procedure in brassero, is to get a temporal Image file of the CD, then switch CD ’s and burn the Image into the CD, but everytime I inserted the virgin CD, the operation was aborted, and brassero was reporting that the device was busy…. nothing else.
Tired of trying, I installed k3b, same procedure, but k3b was cleaver enought to tell me that the application using the device was gvfsd-cdd. And it was even cleaver enought to tell me that k3b can kill that process for me, if I want to.
I said, yes, kill the process, and the burning process started and was perfect.
So the tip is:
If you have that device busy problem in brassero, just kill that gvfsd-cdd process, or switch to k3b.
For the curios, gvfsd-cdd is controlling the location of an audio CD in the gnome virtual file system daemon, and since the Audio CD is no longer in the device… seems like is safe to kill it.
