Hi, I have made a patch to make wodim detect devices correctly.
Wodim was searching for devices under /dev/scd*, but that path is considered deprecated and are no longer present on modern installations. The correct path for the CDROM devices is /dev/sr*. By changing wodim to search devices at that place resolved the problem. I have sent this patch upstream too: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495184 How to test: Create a directory and download the provided patch in it, then run the following commands: $ sudo apt-get build-dep wodim $ apt-get source wodim $ cd cdrkit-* $ patch -p1 <../scsi-linux-sg.c.diff $ dpkg-buildpackage $ sudo dpkg -i ../wodim*.deb Regards, Artúr ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #495184 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495184 ** Patch added: "scsi-linux-sg.c.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/1203559/+attachment/4396351/+files/scsi-linux-sg.c.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203559 Title: wodim doesn't find my DVD writer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/1203559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
