X-CD_Roast is really brain dead- it does not allow you to specify where the tools (such as cdrecord) that it depend on are installed. You will either need to install them in the same prefix or use another program such as k3b.

Actually I found out that if I select X-CD-Roast from the application menu thsn something starts .. I can see X-CD-Roast icon "X" flickering on the screen for a few seconds ... which should preceed the selected application "X-CD-Roast" to start ... unluckily after a few seconds the icon disappears and nothing starts at all ... HOW COME ? I verified that /usr/bin/cdrecord is installed . Maura On Sun, 31 Aug 2003, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

K3B is the KDE 3 CD burning software. It's 10x better then X CD roast. Here's the URL since google appears to be down.

http://k3b.sourceforge.net/

It comes on the SuSE CD's and works quite well. Give the website a read and then install it if you wish.

It just says it is trying to start, but finds an error, eg, can't find a dependant app, can't find the app it is looking for, whatever. The only way I know of to figure it out is to try to start it from a terminal, from a command line (which you have already been doing) to see what error is returned. Richard

I will tell you why! (I bet you are running KDE also.) The SuSE 8.2 version of xcdroast looks for cdrecord and the other files in /usr/X11R6/bin. Quest what they are not there. QC must have missed this because this info comes from a CD fresh load yesterday. Confirm it by not using a applet selection but start it in a konsole (xterm) - watch the errors. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net

Like I said they have to be installed in the same prefix. For example, if you have installed X-CD-Roast in /usr/X11R6 then cdrecord must be installed under /usr/X11R6 also.

I installed from SuSE CDs ... so I've no control where the installer allcates the resources. Is there a remedy ... may some soft link ?

I guess I never got around to removing xcdroast because on my 8.2 system it's installed in /usr/bin and so is cdrecord. So it may be that it's just being cranky...I don't know. But if both packages are taken off the CD's and the requirement of them both being in the same directory is real then I would assume SuSE knows this. They shouldn't be in seperate directories. Just give k3b a try. It really is nice. :) -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

No. Making an iso isn't need. Just go to the menu and create a new project..then drag all the files that you want to be on the CD into the project window and click the burn icon.

It should work, but there will be a bunch of programs for you to symlink. Why don't you just install k3b and be done with it? k3b is a much nicer program. Charles -- "Oh, I've seen copies [of Linux Journal] around the terminal room at The Labs." (By Dennis Ritchie)

With k3b, start new project, click and move your files to the project, and then you are ready to burn. It does not need to make an iso before it.

k3b would very nice if it didn't start up all of those kde processes and not have the animal as graphics. xcdroast works well and doesn't clutter your desk with all the graphics. Beside xcdroast comes up quickly. Start it in a xterm sometime and watch. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net

Xcdroast has always been in /usr/X11R6/bin/xcdroast and cdrecord has always been in /usr/bin/cdrecord on every SuSE rev I've ever used. It always worked??? Mark

Can you open a terminal window and start it from the command line. It *should* give you some errors. Post them and we might be able to help some more.

Yes, it is part of KDE and is included with SuSE. For more info please check the k3b homepage at: http://k3b.sourceforge.net/ Charles -- "Never make any mistaeks." (Anonymous, in a mail discussion about to a kernel bug report.)

It looks like it cannot find cdrecord.

/usr/bin/cdrecord is the right path here.

I would use k3b, which looks nicer and more usable to me.
