cd-rw troubles.
I'm trying to run XCDROAST in Mandrake 8.2, with an IDE Lite-On 12x10x32 CD-RW drive.
Yes, I've read the faqs and what-not on scsi-emulation and stuff. When I run xcdroast from the console, this is what it says before the program starts: ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/mkisofs ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/readcd ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/cdda2wav -- Now, I wanted to test this by duplicating a CD. Put a CD in the drive, tell it to read. "No CD loaded in read device" (and yes, I have the same drive setup as the read device). Under CD-Information, for the type (when I have a written data CD-R in the drive that I wish to duplicate), it says "Empty CD-R/RW". I know that I have communication with the drive, because in X windows I can view the CD and use it like normal. In XCDROAST I can eject the cd via the GUI. cdrecord -scanbus reports the following: Cdrecord 1.11a15 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling Linux sg driver version: 3.1.22 Using libscg version 'schily-0.5' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'LITE-ON ' 'LTR-12101B ' 'LS38' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'IOMEGA ' 'ZIP 250 ' '31.G' Removable Disk 1,1,0 101) * 1,2,0 102) * 1,3,0 103) * 1,4,0 104) * 1,5,0 105) * 1,6,0 106) * 1,7,0 107) * ------- I've added "options ide-cd ignore='hdc hdd'" to /etc/modules.conf.

Are you root?
|
I'm root in the console when I run xcdroast.
I'm a regular user, however, in kde. |
I'll be implementing Mandy support in my cdcopy program soon. Meanwhile, you could try a few things:
ls /dev/cdrom -l Paste result here. Do the same again for the linked /dev/*** & paste here. cat /etc/fstab dmesg | grep scsi /sbin/lsmod Paste results here. It is most likely a linking problem or permission. No biggie. |

Could you do this for me?
ls /dev/cdrom -l Show me the line that you've added "options ide-cd ignore='hdc hdd'" to /etc/modules.conf. Your fstab looks odd to me, maybe it's a Mandrake thing. I never saw any distro including MDK 8.2 that had /mnt/* twice on a line. Could be a problem. /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 This I assume is your cdrom link. The other is zip. dmesg |grep scsi almost checks out except it misses the other hdd=ide-scsi. /sbin/lsmod is perfect. Steps below might or might not work: cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak vi /etc/fstab delete this line /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 add this line /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 save & exit ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom insert a data CD mount /mnt/cdrom ls /mnt/cdrom If success, insert a CDRW cdrecord dev=0,0,0 blank=fast If it erases the cdrw, you're getting there. Wait until I give you a go before you do the above. Show me the result of the line on top. |

I'll wait for your word to go ahead with changing all that stuff. :) |
it is a permission problem, but it is resolved very quickly. First time you run Xcdroast you needed to configure it through setup, in the last tab (options, I guess) check allow non-root users to run xcdroast, if still the same happens and you can't run xcdroast as a non-root go over to http://www.xcdroast.org and grab the latest release.
So all the above can be summed up if you create a group cdwrite for instance, add the non-root users to this group and change group of cdrecord, mkisofs, etc (cdr-tools buddies) to cdwrite group and then change perm to 2755 for this programs you will be OK, the latest cdr-tools and xcdroast do this all for you without you tempering with permissions and groups setup. |
Interesting. Well I will say this:
I downloaded xcdroast 1 or 2 days ago, so it's a recent release. I did run the setup & check the tabs saying that non-root users can use it. That was all before I posted this thread. |
Comment out this line with #
#options ide-cd ignore='hdc hdd' Reboot. We're go for launch! :) Ignore my previous instructions. Go with this: Be root ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom insert a data CD mount /mnt/cdrom ls /mnt/cdrom If success, insert a CDRW cdrecord dev=0,0,0 blank=fast Tomorrow I'll get my hands on my code and MDK. Anytime. |
I've got good news & bad news ;)

Congrats! You've already solved it, from a command-line kind of guy's standpoint.
I don't use any GUI cd writer. I write my own. If you want, you can get a copy here. http://jetblackz.freeservers.com/ It works perfectly for Mandrake. Just checked. You can burn disk while surfing the Web. Don't type the path. Just open Konqueror, browse to target, and copy & paste it in terminal. |
