Re: unable to start xcdroast as root

[Robert Van Horn]

Using KDE - the xhost +local:root command worked.

Didn't work if I tried to use a root console but when
I did it in a user console and then su'd root I was given
some error information which allowed me to get things going.

Thank you all.

  I wonder what desktop environment you are using? 
Gnome, KDE, XFCE4, something else?

  Anyway, I found that I could run GUI programs as
root when using Gnome, but when I installed XFCE4 I
could not.  After reading various docs, I discovered a
fix:

xhost +local:root

I'm not promising that will work for you, but it's
worth a shot.

HTH YMMV,

unable to start xcdroast as root

[Robert Van Horn]

Hi,  From the root console:
# /usr/bin/xcdroast

The reply:

(xcdroast:18770): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

If I start from a user console I get the window that
says you must first start as root to set up.

If I set the suid bit on xcdroast it tries to start
from a user but dies.

Any help or ideas appreciated.

Debian unstable - kernel version = 2.6.17.8

Sounds like there are still a few problems with the transition from
cdrecord to wodim. Xcdroast should use readom (in the wodim package)
instead of readcd. Please file a bug report.

As a temporary work around, install the cdrecord dummy package and see
if that makes Xcdroast happy.

Hi Paul,

Ensure that you have all the dependancies installed?

apt-cache search only searches the package names and descriptions

For packages you have installed, you need dpkg -L readcd

For packages you do not have installed you need apt-file.

Now I try to run Xcdroast (from an xterm), but get an error message:

Hi Charlie,
xcdroast works for me in Etch. Here's how:
1. Make sure you have installed the wodim package
2. make a symlink from /usr/bin/readom to /usr/bin/readcd
3. You need to run xcdroast as root the first time (use the -n switch) and
save the setup configuration. Then run as a normal user and also save the
setup configuration.
4. That's it.
You can also try k3b

Jonathan

It appears I have this version of mkisofs installed:-

Is XCDRoast going to work again sometime in the future, or should I just

Don’t use the group disk, use group cdrom instead. Anyone in group disk 
can read and write direct to the disks (e.g deleting partitions). You

cdrecord / xcdroast on Sarge / 2.6.8-3 as user - FYI

[Uwe Dippel]

Call this redundant (and soon - with Etch - outdated).

The archive is full of posts on this topic, but none seems to wrap it up.
Instead of you having to to sort it out, try this:

1. All this 'ATAPI' is logically correct, but not technically. Use 'ATA'.

2. 'cdrecord dev=ATA: -scanbus' is the way to go.

3. Then use the result of 2 above for your commands for cdrecord; as in
cdrecord -v blank=fast dev=ATA:1,1,0 (whatever 2 came up with).

4. Delete the found device in xcdroast, add [ATA:1,1,0] manually in the
setup, wait for it to recognize the drive. Save.

Enjoy either of the two as user. Instead of sudo, root or set-uid:

# ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root133 2005-01-10 00:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 348556 2005-01-10 00:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 351404 2005-01-10 00:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord.shm

# ls -l /dev/hdd
brw-rw  1 root disk 22, 64 2004-04-30 08:27 /dev/hdd

The only thing needed is that your user is member of group 'disk'. The
latter shows why.

Have fun,

Uwe

xcdroast, duplicate bootable CDrom

[Rakotomandimby Mihamina]

Hi,

I am using GNOME on a Debian Sid and on another Fedora Core 4.
All 2.6.14 kernel.
I use Xcdroast to burn/duplicate my CDs
I know about k3b and all others, but I wonder about one thing on
xcdroast:
I cant duplicate CDs properly.
If, for instance, I insert an XP CD (to duplicate for private/backup
copy): 
- xcdroast sees it as an audio CD (on Fedora) and sees nothing (on
Debian).
- there is no way to make an image, for later burn, only the on-the-fly
option is possible (obvious, if audio CD, but it is not an audio CD).

I have all the dependencies installed (cdrtools, mkisofs,...)
The GNOME system automounts me the CD as data CD and allows me to brows
it without any problem (but XCDRoast does not see it, or sees as audio
CD)

I dont understand. Would you help me to explain?

PS: It has been Xposted to the debian and fedora ML, feel free to follup
up where ou want. Thank you.

This is really a windows question.  However, what happens if you open a
CMD window, go the drive/directory containing the program and execute it
directly from the command line (i.e., no clicking)?  What output do you
see?

Also, did you specify both Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions in xcdroast?

Perhaps the program in question will not run under XP?  Try running it

Xcdroast font problem

[Uwe Schindler]

Hello,
I am using Xcdroast on my Digital Alphastation in Gnome desktop. The 
Machine is monitor-less so the primary X-server ist Xvnc (replaced in 
xdm.conf) and I use the desktop only for GUI programs via VNC from my 
Windows Laptop. One of this GUI programs is Xcdroast. The only problem here 
is the font size in the cdrecord output in the burn CD window. It is a very 
bad pixel font sized very large, see image: 
http://alpha.thetaphi.de/~thetaphi/xcdroast.png

I had a similar problem with aMule (very small fonts) but this was fixed by 
installing the ghostscript fonts (missing dependency in amule package?).

Does anybody know how to fix this? Any font package missing? Or is this 
only with Xvnc as server? I cannot test my installation with Xfree86 
because it is no monitor connected to this machine, only serial cable for 
booting. And the graphics card does not support any X - its server only.

With the 2.6.x kernels (don't recall which version) the SCSI emulation
for CD writing was deprecated in favor of direct ATA command (someone
correct me if i'm wrong).

Now add to this a security issue corrected with kernel 2.6.8 (non root
user could overwrite the CD firmware) and cdrecord upstream developer
attitude, you have a pretty messy situation.

My suggestion is, with the latest Debian cdrecord version and a 2.6.8
or greater kernel, to disable scsi-emulation and manually configure
the device of Xcdroast with the "standard" ide device name (something
like /dev/hdX) or using the cdrecord naming scheme but after running
"cdrecord dev=ATA: -scanbus" (Xcdroast seems to choose automatically
the ATAPI transport instead of ATA)...

Instead, if you're running Gnome with the udev/hal stuff and
gnome-volume-manager you only need to put a blank CD in the driver and
Nautilus "CD/DVD Creator" window should appear, now you only need to
drag the files to be burned on that window and select from the file
menu "Write to CD"...

P.S. with kernel 2.4.18 your only choice is to use the scsi-emulation,
but the parent was having problems with 2.6.8 =)

On my system, using scsi emulation on a woody system with a 2.4.18 kernel,
it's /dev/sg0 to burn, /dev/scd0 to mount and read.  Don't really understand
 the ins and outs of scsi emulation.  Just got that from a howto.

Here's the dirty little secret of all the holier-than-thou "don't use 
binary only drivers" people out there  There's no alternative.

When it comes to consumer grade 3D cards you have 2 realistic choices. 
nVidia and ATI.  Both of whom have proprietary Linux drivers(1).  Of the two, 
nVidia's got the better Linux support at the moment(2).

So in the future, nVidia and tell the people giving you guff to stick it 
where the sun don't shine.


(1) There is a project to get ATI cards working with X without using ATIs 
proprietary drivers at .  However they're only up 
to the 9500 series.  IE, a generation or two back.  So if one wants to use the 
latest ATI cards one will need to use ATI's drivers.

(2) Trust me on that one.  I spent 3 months trying to get City of Heros 
working under Cedega.  The factor that finally got it to work.  Pulled my ATI 
9800Pro, dropped in my old GeForce3 and was able to play no problems.  Well, 
aside from low frame rates.

I know. Because you shouldn't have bought a card with binary only drivers
in the first place.
Doing that results in you having the problems that you're having now, with
problems on each upgrade that you try.
OTOH, try to disable the suid bit on cdrecord (dpkg-reconfigure -plow
cdrecord) and see if helps with the kernel that you have.

Yes, use udev and make it create device files specific to your devices.

Hi,
Got the same problem. When recompiling my 2.6 for the first time, i

But xcdroast still _does_ need SCSI emulation. If you take a look on

So there's no other solution ! You still use scsi emulation, even with
2.6, or yuou take smthg else to burn your CD.
By the way, i post another question... What's the best way to burn
CD's under Linux ? xcdroast used to be a must, but doesn't seem to be
well maintained any more, does it ? Maybe it's still a must anyway ?
Another way to burn is to do this manually, on console line. Not the
easiest way, but a reliable one !
You can take a look at CD-Burning howto, it's not so difficult !
Good luck !
 

I was able to get the scsi emulation turned back on easily enough.  And
it did burn one CD, the one I needed.  But now I need to access the
stupid thing and I have no idea which device it really is.
sr1 (according to dmesg) isn't it
hdc isn't it
sg0 isn't it
sg1 isn't it
I wish to god someone would come up with a better way of managing these
devices.  It's one thing to know what device branch it's under, it's
another to have 169 possibilities under that branch with most of them
dead ends.
Very frustrated.
I'll try upgrading to 2.6.9 and removing all the SCSI stuff for now.
I need to access the disk more than anything right now.
   

Is an IDE CD writer? 

If yes, try to put manually in xcdrecord config the device name using
the cdrecord naming scheme that you find with "cdrecord dev=ATA
-scanbus" or using the default IDE scheme, i.e. what usually you find
on dmesg. Something like "/dev/hdc" if the writer is using the first
channel (master?) of the second IDE interface.
 

This brings up another point.  How are you supposed to know what USB
device is assigned to a USB storage device?  My only solution is to plug
it in and watch the logs.  Are there any better alternatives?
   

Are you using udev/hal? In this case you can put a rule in
/etc/udev/rules.d, you should find the details in the udev
documentation.

I hate to admit this, but the /dev system is basically unusable to the 
newbie, or oldie for that matter. If you would like the "Unix" world 
without the hassle, take a look at Apple OSX 10.2 or OSX 10.3. I know, I 
know - but, it does work and work everytime. New device, just plug it 
in. It is not cheap! But, the time you save will generally equal out. 
And, you get the command line when you want to explore. Just another 
avenue.  There is also Fedora Core 3, Mandrake, FreeBSD, OpenBSD.
Fedora Core 3 and Mandrake are easiest with FreeBSD and OpenBSD 
presenting the same complications you are currently dealing with. 
Flexability and changeability come at a cost, mainly the time required 
to learn the system and its unique requirements.

Maybe misunderstanding from mine ... 
But cdrecord runs perfectly well on command line with my 2.6 and
without scsi emulation. XcdRoast doesn't, thought ! It claims for scsi
emulation ! This problem is mentioned on their web site.
What's the problem in that case ? 

Refering other answers, i'm still using an old 2.6.5. Not taken the
time yet to upgrade to 2.6.10.

Fireup xcdroast or cdrecord as root or switch to at least 2.6.9.
AFAIK the Debian Kernel has patches for using cdrecord as user
since 2.6.8-5?

[Tom Allison]

I'm using the Kernel 2.6.8
I do not have SCSI emulation configured for this because I was under the 
 impression that it was no longer required for the 2.6 kernel.

However, it's really not working at all for me.  The cruddy part is I 
have to get some CD's burned today and I really thought this thing was 
working out of the box.  It's been relatively trouble free in the past, 
but.

Do I go back to the ancient 2.4 methods?  Will they even apply?
I really don't want to put in SCSI-emulation if it's not required, but 
this is kind of a problem for today.

Any suggesions?

I use a vanilla kernel. Odd the Debian sources wouldn't have the fix.

Not in the debian kernel-source-2.6.9 package.  Install my 2.6.7 kernel and it 
works fine, 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 don't (same kernel compile options and permission

This bug existed in 2.6.8. It was fixed in 2.6.9.

You either have to apply a patch or burn cd's as root.  Some people are also 
having trouble burning audio cd's where the cpu usage goes through the roof.
I would recommend downgrading to the 2.6.7 kernel again until these issues are 
sorted out.

I was thinking of going the SCSI route on my desktop (CD burner and U160 
hard disk), would I still be affected by this problem?

xcdroast and 2.6.9 in Debian

[H. S.]

I discovered today that for some reason my xcdroast had been removed. I 
was a bit surprised since I never removed it myself.

Anyhow, I reinstalled it using dselect and tried to configure it. During 
installation I told it NOT to use SCSI emulation and NOT to make 
/dev/sg? devices.

But now it takes *ages* to detect and configure my two drives. When I 
ask it to rescan it just never sees my CDROM, only the CD-RW.

And I get these in my /var/log/syslog:
kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
kernel: hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00
kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete
.
.
.
and so on.
Then I tried by allowing it to use SCSI and allowing it to make /dev/sg? 
devices. Same results with similar delays.

And if I try to eject the CD from CDROM, it takes another 5 or more 
minutes to open the tray,maybe even longer.

Earlier I was running the 2.6.7 kernel. Now since a few days ago, I am 
running 2.6.9 kernel (vanilla) on Sarge.

Is there a problem with xcdroast or am I missing something really 
important. BTW, I do not have scsi emulation enabled, use ATAPI all the 
time which seems to work with cdrecord.

thanks,
->HS

I use:

kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386 ( Version 2.6.8-4 ) 
cdrecord ( Version 2.0+a38-1 )
mkisofs  ( Version 2.0+a38-1 )

and when I have read : /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup and
apply the part "kernel 2.6.*" cdrecord worked fine. 

( (except for the multisession :-) ... ;-) ) (with kernel 2.4.20 ) 

I guess that it's xcdroast which has a problem with kernel 2.6.8

Not sure with xcdroast where the device name is held, but you should get 
better results with dev=ATA

That gives you dma write access.

2.6.8 requires you to run as root (as others have noted).  I have been unable 
to create any cd at all since 2.6.7 (as root or otherwise) so there is also 
some other bug hidden in there

(its not hardware, I can dual boot into winxp and create a cd from there).

AFAIK xcdroast is just a front end to cdrecord just like k3b.

You might try 'cdrecord -scanbus' which I am fairly sure will give you an 
error in 2.6.8

Maybe I'm wrong but I can't see how running a binary as root user is any more 
secure than running it setuid root.

IIRC there's (or was) a bug with 2.6.8 about writing audio CD or
something related. After reading some messages in this list i've noted
only this morning that my root partition too was not umounted clean,
and read of some scary XFS filesystems corruption, so maybe is the
case i look back to 2.6.7 or 2.6.6... =)

I simply booted to 2.6.3 and everything worked splendid; without any other

Re: how to change ugly themes i.e. acroread, xcdroast and other apps

[Pascal Bonesh]

Hi Stefan,

Your tips got me started and finally I got at least the gtk 1.x thing
figured out. 

It's actually quite simple, but has a small bug (at least the way I did
it, maybe there is a simpler and better way)

That's the way I did it:

1. install themes that support gtk 1 (search for gtk-engines) and the
matching gtk2 themes (search for gtk2-engines) - Industrial is the one I
wanted.
2. install gtk-theme-switch (comes in two flavors: gtk-theme switch is
the one I wanted, gkt-theme-switch2 is the one for gnome 2)
3. use gtk-theme-switch - it will write a line in .gtkrc in ~. Which
will nevertheless be ignored by the gtk 1.x apps.

The line belongs into "~/.gtkrc.mine" which will be loaded by
~/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 - which, as it seems, is the replacement for .gtkrc
if gnome2 is used.

thank you
Pascal

Gtk+ apps should pay attn to your .gtkrc (use Control Center to change
that)

Don't know about Qt.

Xt/Motif and Xt/Athena cannot be themed, but you can change the
appearance with LD_PRELOAD replacements (e.g. xaw3dg)

Most X apps support X resources, but they normally only affect colors
and the like.

how to change ugly themes i.e. acroread, xcdroast and other apps

Hi,

I just wondered why some apps turn out to look ugly/oldfashioned. 

I.e. gktalog, nmapfe, xcdroast and acroread. Are they plain X-11 apps or
are they using some old gtk 1.x toolkit?

I would like to change the look of these apps so that they closer match
my gnome 2.6 Simple theme.

Does somebody know a way?

Used xcdroast with atapi cdrom under 2.6 kernel. Worked fine, except it
would take forever if there wasn't a disk in the drive when trying to
do something.

It still works better with emulated scsi (as does vmware and some other
things).

The few times I created VCDs, I used the following tools:
avidemux, mjpegtools, vcdimager and cdrdao.

To create a VCD from an mpeg file, you have to multiplex it
properly (mjpegtools), create the cue file (vcdimager), and burn
the cue file (cdrdao, modern cdrtools can probably be used as
well).  VCD's AFAIK contain only a minimal ISO file system only
useful for Windows to play the VCD.

burning a VCD with xcdroast

[Curtis Vaughan]

Sorry, if this is not really a Debian question, but I am getting really 
frustrated trying to figure this out.

I have created an mpg file (MPEG1) and authored it for vcd.  After 
authoring it, a second mpg file was created along with a xml file.  Now 
originally I thought I just had to burn my first mpg file to a disk and 
pop it in my DVD player (which does support vcd files).  However, it 
complained that the data was incorrect.  Someone stated that I needed 
to probably author the mpg file and another person said that instead of 
creating a vcd I probably just created a data cd.

So my question is this:  I am using xcdroast.  I think I have correctly 
authored the mpg file.  So now do I just burn the 2 files to a disk or 
is there some special way I need to burn it?  For example, maybe I need 
to create an iso or I've seen a lot of mention of cue and bin files.

I have been spending 2 days nows looking for the correct way to do this 
on the net, but to no luck.  Everyone mostly says, oh, use Nero or this 
or that program, blah, blah, blah

indeed. use mkisofs, cdrecord  (and if necessary) cdparanoia. that's an 
commandline solution for burning cdroms.

xcdroast resolutely refuses to run, but after a couple of hours work I
got to grips with mkisofs and cdrecord and I can now burn CDs without
problems. Probably rather quicker and easier than xcdroast, in fact.

xcdroast in kernel 2.6 doesn't work with ATAPI or SCSI

[Anthony Campbell]

It's supposed to be unnecessary to use scsi-emulation in 2.6 kernels but
if I try to use ATAPI, xcdroast simply hangs with a message saying it
won't work properly (this is latest version from Sid).

I therefore gave up and compiled a kernel with SCSI emulation, which
worked for me in kernel 2.4, but in 2.6 it fails to detect any drives at
all, even though syslog shows that scsi emulation has worked.

Is there any way round this or do I have to revert to a 2.4 kernel
whenever I want to burn a CD? Does cdrecord work in 2.6 (I've never got
into cdrecord directly yet).

Having read around 100 posts on this list, I am still confused.
I do understand that we don't want scsi-emulation any longer. So far so

I did change the link /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdb, consequentially.
In order to have access to the drive, I also had to chgrp cdrom /dev/hdb.
Now the drive is gentle to me: it can be mounted; an audio-CD can
be played, and cdrecord -dev=ATAPI -scanbus gives the particulars.
Two questions remain:
1. Some posters say that you need to add hdc=cdrom to your boot
parameters. Is this correct ? Anything needed at all ?
2. xcdroast takes literally minutes to talk to me whenever I click one of
those buttons to select a task, even though it shows the ATAPI-device
correctly. How can it be convinced to work correctly; again ?
Anything still wrong with my setup ?
 

Hello , perhaps a bit late.
I use xcdroast with linux 2.6.4 kernel without scsi emulation. That was 
the reason for me to change from 2.4 kernel.

The "secret" to avoid the long delays without using scsi emulation is:
Start it as root.
Enter in the configuration screen.
Remove the ATAPI devices.
Manually add devices with  traditional names. I have added /dev/hdc for 
the CD reader and /dev/hdd for the writer.
Close it.
Start it with a normal user.
Enjoy, no more delays.

Hope it helps.
Ramiro.

You *think* so; or it *does* ??
Then tell us your secret. I tried ... root=/dev/hda5 hdb=cdrom
and re-detected the drive, etc., and it makes just the same trouble:
waiting for half a minute, complains about ATAPI.

Does anyone use cdrdao? I had problems with it when i tried to burn a cd
image. It woulc create the image ok but not burn it. I dont know about a
other frontend for cdrdao other than gcdmaster and it didnt recognise my
drives. It doesent seem at the docs and manpages are fully updated when
it comes to atapi devices.

Everything. Especially the 'k'. Because it means you run KDE. Look at the
dependencies !
That is one of the great things of xcdroast: You can run it from any
desktop environment. Non-bloated ones, e.g.:

Actually, with all these discussions on 'Linux on the Desktop' we should

Because you left the scsi-emulation as boot parameter. But it is badly
broken in 2.6.X and Linus fully recommends to *not* use it or fix it.

I happily removed it and once you do, your links don't go to some sc* any
more, but directly to hd*.
Very logical, you don't emulate scsi (a whole stack); and so - at least on
the long term - we should be faster, have fewer 'buffer low', etc.

Re: How xcdroast a multi-session CD R/RW? - solved.

[Ramasubramanian Ramesh]

I am following up my own post as I have solved the problem myself.

 1) You need to create session/image with write as a session enabled.
if you do so it will ask you if you want first or next session 
- answer appropriately.
if you want later sessions then you need the cd to which you 
want to add in the writer.
After this appropriate image will be created.
  2) Burn the image with write as a session enabled.

The last time I tried I must have missed some steps.

Thats it.

BTW, be careful of the following

 It appears that Linux optimizes/reuses mounted system cache across 
remounts without cd eject. Thus the following   surpise happens.

 1) You mount CD-R/RW
 2) Check its contents
 3) Unmount it
 4) Add a session without auto eject.
 5) Remount the CD-R/RW
 6) Surprise - you do not see the new session files!
Solve the problem by unmounting - ejecting and then remounting.

Hope this helps others who are looking to make multi-session CDs with 
xcdroast.

Thanks and Regards
Ramesh

How xcdroast a multi-session CD R/RW?

[Ramasubramanian Ramesh]

Hi,

  I tried vainly yesterday to make a muti-session CD-RW using xcdroast (in sarge). 
There are menu
items to create such a CD but I am messing up. I looked for manuals and the html 
version that gets
installed with xcdroast does not talk about how to make muti-session CDs. Also I do 
not know how to
make subsequent images to add to the existing CDRW content. Any help (even pointer to 
right
manual/howto) greatly appreciated. 

  Just to give an idea this is what I did.

  1) Created the first session image (with create as session button on)
  2) Burned the image as muti-session
  3) Created the second image also as muti-session. But image prefix was 
 different so that first image on the hard disk is not destroyed.
  4) Tried to burn it as second session

  I get

   "Session names do not match"

  I proceed further and I get

   "Beginning to write the first session" (even for the second session!)

I have no clue as to what the above means and how to identify my mistake from these 
messages. (I can
get exact errors/logs if that is necessary)

Thanks and Regards
Ramesh

Install another kernel? Try apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.20, or
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-$arch. If you use one of the 2.4.18
images, don't forget to tell lilo to use the initrd for that kernel.

xcdroast

[Gavin Seddon]

I checked the config file for that kernel, and I found this:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m

So the ide-scsi module should be there. Run

find /lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/ -name ide-scsi.o

to see if it can be found.

Dear Andreas,

this find command returned nothing.  Also, I noticed people are irritated by

It means that he replies to a message, but started a new thread and left
away the content of the former messages, so that no one can understand
the context.

I checked the config file for that kernel, and I found this:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m

So the ide-scsi module should be there. Run

find /lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/ -name ide-scsi.o

to see if it can be found.

That is strange. What kernel do you use? What does uname -r say?

Yes the conf file is ok, but when I run modprobe Iget

 modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe: Can't locate module ide-scsi

Also, when I run cdrecord it complains of not being there.  It must be 
installed though .

What did the line look like? And did you re-run lilo?

Are member of the cdrom group? If not, add yourself to that group, log
out and in again. Also, make sure the ide-scsi module is loaded:

modprobe ide-scsi

Now use cdrecord -scanbus

to see if your drive is listed.

Add ide-scsi to /etc/modules to load it automatically at boottime.

xcdroast

[Gavin Seddon]

Hello,
I put the append line in my lilo.conf and success in that I get the hdc found 
when I reboot.  However, 
when I start xcdroast the cdrw is still not found.  Can you help pls?

using xcdroast was Re: gtoaster used to work...

[Emma Jane Hogbin]

Nevermind... it looks like I can still use xcdroast without having to play
with any settings or fix anything.

CD writing with cdrecord and xcdroast

[Geoff Crompton]

  Hi All,

  I've found that copying data CD's (such as the Debian Woody set) to a
  blank disc with xcdroast gives me errors when I try and read some of
  the packages. (Only a few of the packages, the majority is fine.) This
  is burning at speeds of 2x to 4x, on a 16x burner.
  However if I use cdrecord directly on the command line, I don't get
  any errors. I can even burn at the full speed of the cd writer and I
  don't get any errors.

  Does anyone know why?


  Geoff
