Thank you to all of you who posted information here-very useful! It took me all night searching the net to find how to get my Cyberdrive CW038D working under Debian.
All I had to do in the end was add "CDR_NODMATEST=true" (without quotes) to /etc/environment. I also disabled autofs by putting a # in front of any lines related to the CD drive in /etc/auto.* ... but I'm not sure if that made any difference to fixing the problem. I didn't have to kill /usr/sbin/hald to make it work. I was then able to use K3b to burn the iso image successfully. My system is as follows: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 "Etch" Kernel version 2.6.18-6-686 Cyberdrive CW038D K3b version 0.12.17 (Using KDE 3.5.5) Wodim (Debian fork of cdrecord) version 1.1.2-1 I also found the following pages useful/informative: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debburn-devel/2007-August/000449.html http://www.mailarchives.org/list/debian-kernel/msg/2007/01749 http://www.mailarchives.org/list/debian-kernel/msg/2007/01777 http://lwn.net/Articles/198171/ -- cdrecord hangs with kernel >= 2.6.10 and cyberdrive cdrw https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
