Re: Installing X-CD-Roast

[Daniel Sobey]

It does sound like a bug. I have not used x cd roast in years.
For burning cd's i would use k3b it is the best burner available.

 Hello all.
 
 
 I have downloaded and installed X-CD-Roast from the Ubuntu software
 Center. On clicking the icon, I get the following message in a small window:
 
 
 No root configuration file found or not readable!
 
 The Superuser must start and configure X-CD-Roast first before other
 users can use it
 
 
 So I activated a terminal:
 
 
 da...@djb-p4:/usr/bin$ ls -l ./xcdroast
 
 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 702152 2009-04-08 08:18 ./xcdroast
 
 
 Then:
 
 da...@djb-p4:/usr/bin$  ./xcdroast
 
 
 And got the same message as above.
 
 
 Then tried the following:-
 
 da...@djb-p4:/usr/bin$ sudo ./xcdroast
 
 [sudo] password for david:
 
 
 Then got the message below:-
 
 ** (xcdroast:6300): WARNING **: Failed to access cdrecord. Please check
 the permissions and ownership of /usr/bin/cdrecord
 
 
 Checking /usr/bin/cdrecord:-
 
 da...@djb-p4:/usr/bin$ ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2009-11-06 18:39 /usr/bin/cdrecord - wodim
 
 
 Then checking wodim:
 
 
 da...@djb-p4:/usr/bin$ ls -l ./wodim
 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 395784 2009-10-03 08:14 ./wodim
 
 
 I cannot get past this point and cannot see what is wrong with the
 permissions or ownership.
 
 
 Can anybody help?
 
 
 Thanks

Printer problem

[David Bowskill]

Hello all.

I have a printer problem in that when I try to print from any package, I
get a message job stopped  and the printer prints  Unable to open
the initial device, quitting.  (Ubuntu 9.10)

The printer diagnostic facility seems to freeze.


Any ideas of where to look ?


Thanks

David Bowskill
