Re: [newbie] eroaster
SNIP Though I am sure I added cdwriter to groups for user 'curt' (I'm the only user) when I run 'cdrecord --scanbus' It tells me: No such file or directory exists. Cannot open SCSI driver For possible targets try cdrecord -scanbus. Which gives the same result. This is a good clue Curt. It is exactly what I got as well when I first tried using my burner. It seems for 'some' cd-writers you must diasable devfs before cdrecord will work. To disable devfs edit the file /etc/lilo.conf find the line that includes devfs=mount and change that to devfs=nomount save the file and then as root type /sbin/lilo It will then write the boot record. If you get an error message at this point you have probably got a typo in the lilo.conf file. DO NOT reboot until this command works without an error or else you may not be able to boot again! Now after a reboot you will (hopefully) be able to run cdrecord successfully. Disabling devfs may have an impact on desktop icons for scanners/zip drives etc. You may need to create the icons again. If you need help doing this let us know. Also check out that you can still play audio CD's OK. HTH derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] eroaster
This is a common problem. You need to ensure that your user, the cdwriter, and all the cd applications have the same group permissions. 1/Create a group called 'cdwriter' using Userdrake and put any users who are to burn CD's in that group. (It may already exist) 2/ You then need to give cdwriter group privileges for the following applications (all in /usr/bin) If any of these apps are missing install them from RPM. cdrecord cdda2wav cdparanoia mkisofs readcd You can do this using konqueror. Just open KmenuApplicationFileToolsFileManager(SuperUserMode) Find the files you want to change the permissions of, right click, select 'Permissions' and set the group name to be cdwriter 3/ Put the CD-RW in the cdwriter group by editing the permissions of /dev/scd0 You can test your cd burner by opening a user terminal and typing cdrecord --scanbus If it finds your CD writer then cd burning should work.

IMO, the best :) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W8432T' '1.09' Removable CD-ROM It's old, but I've flashed it to the latest firmware updates (ie, 1.09) as they became available. well, please someone correct me if i'm wrong, but all of these burning tools ... aren't all of them -including eroaster- GUI interfaces for cdrtools command-line burning program? i think eroaster detects hardware by cdrecord --scanbus command, just like all others, so there should be no problem with it. Damian Well, gcombust is reliable, but many of the options and configuration items are beyond my understanding, even with it's 'tool tip' explainations ;) Fortunately the defaults work for everything but bootable ISO burns. It also auto-detects the CD-RW, but get's it wrong with every version I've tried. Simple enough to change tho. Many other GUI's fail to detect my CD-RW, or error out when I try to use them. I suspect this might be a devfs issue, but usin 'devfs=nomount' isn't any better. I don't fool with 'em past that, I just go to a GUI that does work. My previous problem with eroaster was that it wouldn't add some files to the burn list, complaining wrongly that they didn't exist. When I did mange to get them added, then the burn wouldn't start. Whatever Texstar fixed (he didn't say), resolved the problem. Cooker's eroaster-2.0.12-2mdk from the src.rpm had the problems, Tex's eroaster-2.0.12-3mdk.i686 works fine. It could well be just an Eroaster ML8.2 problem, and not an issue with 8.1 or older. http://66.69.182.59:8080/modules.php?name=Newsfile=articlesid=1661 I used to really like Koncd, 'cause like Eroaster it's simple and intuitive to use. But for some time now it's also had problems adding files, erroring out. So yes, while all the GUI's are just frontends for cdrecord and mkisofs, they're not all created equal ;) And then it's just me, I prefer to copy CD's or burn ISO's from the CL, but I like usin a GUI for data and audio CD's, the simpler the better. Eroaster fits the bill. YMMV ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Eroaster's just plain simpler, without a bunch of configuration and options I don't understand too well like gcombust ;) It is reliable tho. When all else fails, gcombust will get it. I'm kind of curious as to wether you have a preference between mkisofs and mkhybrid also. Actually I've never used mkhybrid. If I want to copy a CD, I 'dd' the CDrom to the harddrive, and then use cdrecord to burn it from the CL. Assuming I'm in my home directory 'dd if=/dev/cdrom of=whateverIcallit.iso' then 'biso whateverIcallit.iso' (alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0' [in bashrc]) Takes a few minutes to write a CD to the HDD first, then burn a copy from there, but my el cheapo cdrom reader will falter, rattle, and skip, and often cause a buffer underun on my CD-RW if I try a direct CD to CDr copy. For copying files to a CDr (data or audio), I like to use a GUI. Half the time when I try it from the CL I screw somethin up ;) Burnin CD's is strictly a KISS process for me ;) One more question; did you end up using devfs, or do you even have an IDE burner? Burner's an IDE, I don't care for SCSI drives in a desktop PC. I've turned off devfs a few times but only to test. I reckon devfs is here to stay, so I try and make things work with it. or get different things ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
