XcdRoast: connection to ":0.0" refused AND cdrecord -scanbus returns no target
Aloha!
I want to burn CD's but when I try to run xcdroast as root, i get this message: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified What the heck does that mean, and how do I fix it!? Thanks! PS: when I try cdrecord -scanbus I get: Cdrecord 1.11a19 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.6' cdrecord: No target found. :eek: |
Are you doing this on your own home secure network? If so, try "xhost +" and try it again. When you are done, "xhost -"

To solve this in my suse, I had to:
as normal user: xhost + localhost as root: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 |
Well I can go ahead and try all this, but what exactly am I doing??? What's this xhost stuff all about? :)
PS. This does result in NOT getting the message "Connection to ":0.0" refused", but I still can't run xcdroast w/out getting the message: Failed to scan the SCSI-bus. Either no permission to access the generic scsi devices or no SCSI support enaled in the kernel. For ATAPI devices you have to install SCSI-emulation first. Please see the CD-Writing-HOWTO how to do that. I have read through the cdwriting howto, but I get to a point where I am expected to get some kind of positive response from cdrecord -scanbus, in which I get the message that there is no target found. Slowly but surely, I am on my way to burning!! |
The xhost thing is about the normal user allowing the root user to use his display. The root can't use by default, it has to be allowed.
The other errors, I guess, are because you don't have scsi emulation installed. A cd burner in linux has to be scsi emulated in order to work (kernel 2.6 doesn't need anymore, I guess). Can't you use k3b to burn cd's? Try it. |
welp,
I just tried to install k3b and it said that kde-config was not found! What's kde-config, and in what directory should it be??? And how do i know if i have the QT3 library and the KDE3 libraries installed?? |
kde-config is a binary in this path (on my suse 9.1): file:/opt/kde3/bin
To query your rpm database, just do a rpm -q qt3 This asks rpm if the package is installed in the system. You can do it with any package you wish to know. Mine outputs "qt3-3.3.1-36.5" |
