Can't Burn DVDs with K3b
I'm trying to burn the slackware 11 iso with k3b but I get the ff error:
Code:
System |
Can you burn other CD/DVD isos with k3b ? Has it worked in the past ?
|
no haven't tried yet. this is my first time :)
|
So you are running k3b as root, right ? And you go to Tools -> Burn DVD ISO Image ... -> select the .iso -> make sure burning device is right -> set everything to Auto (should already be Auto) -> Start Burn

A few more things to clear out of the way: The drive works otherwise right ? you can put a CD/DVD in there and it will read it right ? None of the packages that you installed were corrupt were they ? Did the drive work at some time in the past ? on some other distro or on Window$ ?
If it's not any of the above, then what filesystem do you have ? (It is rare, but using the ext3 filesystem my DVD+-RW drive will not burn things correctly. I don't know why. I have yet to find an answer.) Anyone have any other ideas (perhaps a simpler explanation) ... that's all I got. EDIT: I see from another thread that you compiled your own kernel ... which kernel were you running when you tried to burn ? |

I use ext3 too. Awww that may be the culprit.. |
So which kernel were you running ? If it was a stock 2.6.x kernel, then I would say try another filesystem if you can ... if not, try another kernel.
|
I was using the default 2.4 kernel when I got these errors. Haven't tried on the 2.6 tho (I upgraded my kernel). Ok I'll try your suggestions. Thanks for the support man! I appreciate it :)

could u able 2 write cds
cdrecord --scanbus error???? did you screwed up your lilo?? means append lilo? (no need for that) go to this link http://rkrishna.tp.googlepages.com/slackerbasics#cdtool add simulate option to the command ie "-dummy" before writing -dry-run for dvd if simulation is working you can start burning cds without the -dry-run option |
So does k3b use 'dd' to burn iso images? I didn't realise that. You could perhaps try using growisofs from the command line. I've never done this, but:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd --speed=1 /home/anwar/slackiso/slackware-11.0-install-dvd.iso Also, check the symlinks. Growisofs assumes you're using /dev/dvd. You seem to be using /dev/hdc which is symlinked to /dev/cdrom. So that may be causing problems. |

2.4 kernels require SCSI emulation for burning to an IDE device but 2.6 kernels do not.
For 2.4 kernel check the bootloader to see if you have a kernel boot option hdc=ide-scsi Your burner device ID will now be /dev/scd0. |

Hello everyone!:) I got same problem here.After searching via google and yahoo,I found the solution.Please read the following website:
http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2006/10/msg00007.html I tried cat myiso.iso | growisofs -Z /dev/your_device=/dev/fd/0 and it works! P.S.Using Slackware 10.2 here.I will upgrade to Slackware 11 soon.A bit lazy...:D |
That's odd. That should only be the case for files on NFS. You had the .iso on NFS ?
