Can't burn to CD

[aiiee]

I have an IBM Thinkpad X31 and when I use cdrdao to attempt to burn an image to a CD I get the following error:

Re: Can't burn to CD

I'm more familiar with cdrecord than cdrdao myself.  Have you tried K3b?  If so, could you post the output?

Re: Can't burn to CD

Sorry I couldn't get back to you until today.  No internet at home.

Couple of questions:  does this happen with all .cue or .iso files?  Have you tried different blank CD's?  Do you have a USB CD-burner to try this on, in order to check if it's a hardware issue?

[aiiee]

Re: Can't burn to CD

No prob, I used DVD Decrypter in Windows to finish my project. To answer your question it happens with image files, so far only tried cue files. Regular TAO recording of files works fine. No USB burner, the burner I have works fine in Windows. Thanks anyway, new problem is stupid CUPS not letting me administer the server. so many problems, so little time....

Re: Can't burn to CD

for k3b i had a similar problem, use this
dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord
The only time i've gotten the burner working with k3b i did the above command and set the suid to root. The only problem was when i booted up k3b it wanted to run its own setup program which totaly ruined what i'd just done with the dpkg command. so again
run the dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord , set suid to root and then DON"T run the k3bsetup or k3bsetup2.

That being said mines not working again :P
This seems like just a permissions problem with cdrecord, anybody have a clue as to what to do?!

Re: Can't burn to CD

I had a problem with k3b, but only with using .cue/.bin files. I've had no problems burning .iso files on CD-R, 99-min CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+/-R, or DVD+/-RW. However, I couldn't seem to burn this image type. It wasn't until I almost finished this post that I realized what had happened. In the debug output below I got an error about the file not being there. I noticed just before I posted that the file name was in all caps. I then went directly to the file and renamed it all caps and it worked like a charm! The problem with .cue/.bin files is that the .cue file has the name of the .bin file in it and k3b calls cdrecord via a command that if for any reason a character is misplaced (or in my case miscapped) the process fails.

Here's what I got from k3b when I tried:
(hope this helps someone)
