DVD burning issues on RHEL 7

Smokey · 10-06-2016, 05:10 PM

hello I am trying to burn gparted.iso onto a DVD. I know my DVD burner works because i bought this computer and it had Windows 8.1 and burned the RHEL7 and wiped the entire system, which seems to be a mistake now.

I loaded up the .iso with disk image burner but the dvd/cd driver is greyed out. I dont see anything online on how to fix this?

Driving me insane.

this is within the 30 day trial period for rhel 7.2
and you DO have a valid license for rhel7 ? right?
redhat is really not free , you do need to buy the required support contract !!!

the gnome default cd/dvd tool has been having issues

install K3b
it is in the repos

Code:

su -
yum install k3b

and use k3b to burn a iso image

and burn gparted to a disk using k3b

but you will need a valid license and have a registered install of RHEL7 to install software

May be a permission issue, your user may be not in whatever group it is in RH to write to the CD/DVD. No telling, you withheld this information.

It probably isnt as I dont remember adding it to the group, how do I do that?

I have a free developer edition: http://developers.redhat.com/blog/20...now-available/

What happens on RHEL and clones is that a user logging in on the console causes an ACL entry to be added to the CD/DVD device(s) granting that user read/write access. You should be able to see that with getfacl, e.g.:

Code:

$ getfacl /dev/cdrom2
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/cdrom2
# owner: root
# group: cdrom
user::rw-
user:rnichols:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::---
