For Peter Funk - A chapter out of my ebook (should work for ubuntu 14.04): Media - Burning - CDR-Tools vs CDRKit
There are two packages that can be used for burning. They are cdr-tools and cdrkit. cdrkit is the default for Linux Mint. Here is an article describing why some did not like cdr-tools and replaced it. http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3715646/Tips-and-Tricks-for-Linux-Admins-Volatile-Debian.htm I personally go back to cdr-tools because it works. cdrkit, when first introduced, broke everything. It was a nightmare. For those who remember cdr-tools and prefer it there is a way to switch back and forth at will. PPA Website: https://launchpad.net/~brandonsnider/+archive/ubuntu/cdrtools Switch to using cdr-tools... Open up a terminal, and paste the following commands: >sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools >sudo apt-get update >sudo apt-get install cdrecord mkisofs You will see an error telling you Brasero depends on wodim (cdrkit) to run. You can safely ignore this. Brasero will run with cdr-tools. Optional - Install K3B Burning Software: >sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer >sudo apt-get install k3b Go back to cdrkit... Open up a terminal, and paste the following command: >sudo apt-get install wodim genisoimage -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213215 Title: Please include original cdrecord (cdrtools) package in Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/213215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
