Having some issues with burning CDs with my SUSE 9.0 install. I'm using the k3b (0.10-3) and tried cdbakeoven as well. Getting error messages like "unknown error" and "can't fixate disk". I've checked the md5 sum for the iso file and it's good, the CD-RW drive is recognized and I've tried burning as both a normal user and root (to see if it made a difference...it didn't :-( ) Had Mandrake 9.0 installed before this and had no problems with any of the GUI burners. Here's my /etc/fstab: /dev/hde2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hde1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hde3 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hde4 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/sda4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 auto sync,noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.lMyX_ErKxt6 Maybe I could try burning from the iso from the command line. Either way, I'd like to get this sorted out and any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- Cheers, Trey --- Do not seek death; death will find you.

Enabled DMA on the CDRW drive and still nada... I've made about 10 coasters now. The progress bar in k3b gets to about 10MB and shows a speed the whole time of < 1X (usually 0.45X) and I have it set for 6X. It's done this a few times, so I definitely think *something is screwy* (besides not being able to burn a CD...that kind of gave it away). What other data can I provide or things can I check to troubleshoot? Thanks.

And "burnfree"? Are you sure dma is accepted? Check with: hdparm -d /dev/hdc or hdb or whatever.

It doesn't even write a single byte, it seems.

Check the kernel log, and also the boot log.

Try also with xcdroast. And try a different type of media - sometimes I get strange errors when I buy a new name: they fail a lot, and then I use another trade mark, and they work perfectly. You can try also to reduce the speed. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Have you tried with the command line? I debugged all my setup with command line mode before using any GUIs. Actually, I wanted to make scripts to burn backups. I have found many Suse packages to be broken in the past. Usually with stuff that involves licensing issues, like java with Mozilla, WMV with mplayer, and the bytecode interpreter with freetype, etc. So that problem may not apply here, but... The point being, that often when I download the vanilla software from the original development sites and install it instead of Suse's stuff, I find things work fine. If you can't get command line burns to work, *then* try downloading cdrtools and compiling/installing it (I seem to recall being able to get a Suse binary for it, so didn't have to compile, but I have compiled it at times as well.) Good luck! -- ____________________________________ Christopher R. Carlen Principal Laser/Optical Technologist Sandia National Laboratories CA USA crcarle@sandia.gov
