[newbie] cdrecord ok, k3b needs root

[newbie] cdrecord write speed
Hey ya bunch o' louts, When I use this on the command line: cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -pad -audio ~/wav/*.wav ...the first .wav burns at the desired speed, but each subsequent file is burned at the top speed of my burner, which has so far not resulted in any coasters, but slows my poor ol' clunker to a crawl.

Now before you tell me to man cdrecord, let me say it says use cdrecord -scanbus I think someone has hacked this edition about some. Another related problem is, you cannot open xcdroast without media in both your writer and dvd drives because of a silly warning message about putting media in first, a totally inept message, especially for those using xcdroast master tracks to write from HD. Hmmm. I bet xcdroast author, Thomas Neiderreiter had nothing to do with it. John Here's what Tom Brinkman wrote about this some time ago. quote Not only that, there's quite a difference burning CD under 2.6.x kernels. ide-scsi is no longer used for IDE CD drives, no /dev/scd*'s are used either. Not even created by devfs. This seems to be causing a lot of confusion for GUI users. Even on the CL changes have to be adopted. For example my aliases to burn data, audio, and iso's now look like this alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=24 dev=ATA:3,1,0 -data' alias bacd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=24 dev=ATA:3,1,0 -pad -audio *.wav' alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=ATA:3,1,0 -dao' dev= is obtained by running 'cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus' /quote That was valid then. Some updates to 10.1 put me (involuntarily) back to usin ide-scsi and /dev/scd*'s, and modified modprobe.conf and modprobe.preload to once again use to scsi host adaptor rather than ATA. I had to edit fstab to reflect this.

It's fairly easy for me to deal with, but for newbies, specially tryin to use burning GUI's it's gotta be a mess. In fairness, I believe Mandrake is moving back to ide-scsi and /dev/scd* to clear up problems with cdrecord and various GUI's for it. Also for DVD burning. Thank's tom that helps. In a way it's a pitty because , well if it can be made to work I suppose the ATA route is to be prefered. But at least scsi-em works. Well it did the last time I used it.

That's all I do for all BIOS and firmware updates, I just keep a floppy with those files ready to add whatever flash utility is pertinent to the drive or BIOS to be upgraded.

Media quality is suspect to unusable. Also so is capacity. Your problem is simple. You're tryin to burn 697 MB's to it. That ain't never gonna work. No way, no how is what cdrecord should'a said ;) Yup! I got three like that the last of my PNYs. Plextor's are about the most lenient for marginal media, but it looks like your drive really hates this one. Seems I read a few articles about 'illegal media coding' a year or so ago, but for the life of me I've got CRS about it. What's CRS? I know there's been many user complaints about fly by night media for years, that it won't take the advertised MB's. More like no more than 600 on a advertised as 650 blank. Yeah I went out and bought some phillips cdr80s 48x and burned one the first time. IIRC, I've seen this in many places but don't really know what is means? something (I internet relay chat?) that's mostly what the 'orange forum embargo' was about. That and licensing, patent violations. That's academic tho, you need a decent 700MB CDr. Come'on over an I'll give you a few ; I'll see if I transporter is working! ;) -- Thanks again Terry Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I haven't used a GUI in so long I can't comment. As far as El Torito (floppy boot img), catalog goes, they're in the bootable iso already, no need to create or add them. -dao (Disk At Once) is needed because it exactly records the iso to CDr, and preserves the md5sum. A must for being postive you've got a good bootable CDr. Cut'n paste this into the bottom of /etc/bashrc (as root), you'll have it from then on, all cdwriter users. alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=1,0,0 -dao' You can remove driveropts=burnfree if you want, change the speed=, and make sure of your dev= then Open a console as user, type 'biso name_of.iso' (w/o the 's and 's) (type 'nam' and hit Tab to auto complete) and you'll be burning a perfectly good bootable CDr, before most GUI's will even appear on your screen, much less get configured and ready to go. With Mandrake iso's, which include CD1, CD2, CD3 in the name, after you burn the first CD, use the Arrow up to bring up the CL again, change the 1 to a 2 and burn the second CD. So on for the third. You'll have all three CD's burned before Gcombust gets done with the first one. And you'll know what you did, rather than guessing at what a GUI might'a done ;) One further caution, 'run -checkdrive dev=?,?,?' and look at the output at the bottom. You _must_ see SAO in the Supported modes: line (SAO, Session At Once is -dao). If your burner can't do 700MB or doesn't support SAO, you really should get a better drive.

[newbie] cdrecord not!
List, below I have included cue sheet from a dummy burn of cdrecord from gcombust 0.1.53. I'm trying to burn mdk 9.2 from ISO. I initially burned the first cd successfully? I can read it but am not sure if it is actually bootable.I'll try to get to that later. When I went to burn disk 2 extensions, I started getting the error message I have enclosed in the attachment. I've tried several different cdrs all 80min or 700MB PNY Black Diamonds (16x) and no go. As for setting up a bootable cd, I googled and found a post or two on using dd if=/mnt/fd0 of=/boot.img bs=18k. That appears ok to me. I'll use a 9.1 boot floppy create the image and wahla. But what about a boot.catalog file. Do I really need one? Where/how would I find/create one?

Re: [newbie] cdrecord on LM 8.0
The only problem I see in your log is that you used 'dummy' mode flag. That way cdrecord does a 'test' write, without turning the laser on: no actual recording takes place. If you are using a GUI front-end, check that the 'dummy' flag isn't set. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I can't record a CD-R on my laptop. Any idea before I go to Windows to record the CD?

I have also other problems on 8.1 with CDROM: sometimes, there is no way to remove the CD by pressing the CD button. As for internet sharing, I use it on 8.1 and it works well. But I remember I had some trouble to get it work. Apparently, the setup is not _exactly_ the same as on 8.0. Something is different, but I don't know what. It might be something like the DNS setting. I find this parameter ambiguous. Which DNS? The name server of my ISP that resolves names from the internet, or the DNS to resolve names on my lan? Anyway, try to modify some of the parameters, and it might work. As for reinstalling cdrecord, I have downloaded it and tried to reinstall, but I got an error.

Yep Been there got the T shirt. Its the new devfs system which auto populates the /dev folder. It requires the drivers to be aware of it, and the scsi driver used by cdrecord isn't. All you have to do is edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the line append= hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet to append= hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount quiet Then re-run lilo with /sbin/lilo and reboot Then it should work (hopefully) You may then find you can no longer play audio cd's If so make a symlink ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc (Assuming your cdrom drive is on hdc) Derek On Tuesday 13 November 2001 01:48, Pascal Goguey wrote: Hello!

hi, a comment about your original problem. just to eliminate something simple, have you tried different brands of blank CDs? see, my burner was working fine under linux, then suddenly it started trashing about 50% of the CD-Rs i tried to burn. i was trying to figure all this out and one day it occured to me that when i used my CD-RWs (4 of them, every weekend to backup) i never had a problem. i was using Memorx CDs (should have known better) so i bought a pack if Imation (for half the cost) and guess what. they work perfect. i haven't made a single coaster yet since using up the Memorx. and yes, i did shuffle between the Memorx Imation disk all in one session. it was the media, not my hardware / software. one other thing, on this win vs. linux thing. i recently installed Win98se on a different hard drive, but my same computer. the CD burner would not work. yet again -- if you think windows is "easy" to install, i don't think you've tried it lately. this last install took me over 2 hours and the burner nor sound card work at all.

Folks, we wonder why more people -- especially in the workplace -- don't implement Linux. If it's this complicated just to get a damn CDR working then I think I know the answer to that. I'm not a computer idiot (in fact I work on them for a living), but this is the most vexing computer problem I've come across. I've been reading this email list for several weeks now, and I've noticed a large amount of emails on this same topic. Obviously it's a week spot in LM's armor judging by the sheer number of similar CDR problems. Just some commentary, and a little venting thrown in ;-) Kyle Baker --- Sridhar Dhanapalan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Could the problem be heat?

Its an IDE CD-RW. I don't think it runs off a controller card, but I'm not 100% on that.

Try giving each device its own IRQ. Presently, you have a number of devices sharing the same IRQ, an open invitation for conflicts. After this, try burning again.

Hey Sridhar... OK, there was a guy who had virtually the same CD-RW as I do in the expert list, who got the same message about the controller returning the wrong size...he said in 7.1, even though he got that message, his CD-RW worked flawlessly. In 7.2 it's a bit more intermittant, but it works, so I don't think thats the main problem...at least its not mine. Someone else on the expert list had this to say: -- I have an adaptec AHA1505 ISA scsi card and SF 4x CDRW. I also have Yamaha OPL-SAx ISA sound card. A while ago, I too had similar problem with my CD burner. It turned out that both the ISA cards were using same IRQ and IO addresses were messed up. Also if I enabled sound or started any sound program my system used to freeze and I had to press RESET button. I solved the problem with doing the isapnp configuration by hand. Now both the cards are happy and I've had no problems. -- I don't really know how to go about figureing out if what he said could be my problem, let alone configuring it if in fact that is the problem, but it seems an avenue worth exploring...any suggestions on where to start? peace, Rog http://www.slammingrooves.com Registered Linux user #190719 On Tue, 19 Dec 2000, Sridhar Dhanapalan wrote: It seems that the main problem is the line "cdrecord: Warning: controller returns wrong size for CD capabilities page".

Re: [newbie] cdrecord
Firstly, is your drive IDE or SCSI? Does it run off a controller card (almost a certainty if it is SCSI)? If so, then is the card ISA or PCI? Apparently ISA cards in Linux have problems with IRQs (they must be set manually). PCI cards can also have problems, though not as many. There should be an option in your BIOS called something like "Plug 'n Play OS installed". Set this to No. Try burning again (do dummy burns so you don't waste money on coasters). What other cards do you have on your system, and are they ISA or PCI? You could be experiencing a good ol' IRQ conflict. On Wed, 20 Dec 2000 09:57, Roger Sherman wrote: Hey Sridhar...

Re: [newbie] cdrecord
-michael- wrote: try this for audio cd's what about mp3's onto cd's will this work? No. At least not if you want to play them in a non-mp3-understanding audio cd player. You must first convert the mp3 files to a format understood by cdrecord (cdr, wav, au). You can use mpg123 to do that, like so: $ mpg123 --cdr Song.cdr Song.mp3 That will create the file, Song.cdr, from the file, Song.mp3. You can then feed the cdr file directly to cdrecord. $ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -audio -pad *.cdr That will burn onto the cd all the cdr files in the current directory. You could do wav files instead of cdr files... $ mpg123 --wav Song.wav Song.mp3 $ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -audio -pad *.wav ...but cdrecord is transparently converting the wav files to cdr anyway, so you may as well save a step. What I usually do is take 20 or so mp3 files and put them in one directory. If you use xmms to organize your playlist, it will show you the total playing time for your tracks -- stop when you hit about 74 minutes. I then convert them all to cdr files in one fell swoop: $ cd ~/mp3/CoolTunes $ mkdir tmp $ for i in *.mp3; do mpg123 --cdr tmp/`basename "$i" .mp3`.cdr $i; done ShellQuotingHell Of course, the above for loop won't work if any of your files contain spaces in their names, as so many mp3 files do. In that case, you'll be forced into the inner circles of shell quoting hell: for i in *.mp3 do sh -c "mpg123 --cdr \"tmp/`basename "$i" .mp3`.cdr\" \"$i\"" done Or something like that. Some napster clients provide options for converting spaces to underscores automatically. If you're making cd's from the command line, that option is your friend. :-) /ShellQuotingHell Once you have all the cdr files in their own directory, check that they're within the limits of your cd's capacity: $ du -sh tmp You can create additional cdr files in that directory to bring the total up to 650MB or so. Once you're satisfied with the contents of that directory, do this: $ cd tmp $ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -audio -pad *.cdr That assumes you either a) don't care about the order of the tracks since you usually shuffle them on your player anyway, or 2) you've painstakingly named the files so that they come up in the correct order when the shell expands the wildcard, *.cdr. You can use the ls command to check your work if you use the latter method. Or you can be explicit with cdrecord: $ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -audio -pad Song1.cdr Song2.cdr Song3.cdr Good luck! -- Jim http://www.lads.com/~jim
