cd/dvd writer K3b
Hi all,
I have a plextor(PX-708A) cd/cdrw/dvdrw burner and so far it will read a cdrom but after installing,cdrdao, and cdrecord, and k3b when I open K3b it complains it cannot find an executable for cdrdao and cdrecord..Yet they are both installed.. My question is , does anyone have a working cd/dvd burner and if so how did you do it.. I have tried uninstalling all and reinstalling but that did not help.. Do I need to edit my /etc/fstab or is it a permissions problem? The drive is 660 and both cdrdao and cdrecord are 0750.. Thank you, jolphil(slowly but surely getting this OS working)Whew!! |
Hi,
First I am far from an expert. Have you tried it as root? If it works in root, it is probably a permission problem. I put Deb Sarge on my current machine. DVD burner. I had to add my user name to the group cdrom, if I remember correctly. Other than that it was all automatically done. Steve |
In Kb3 go to setting->Options->Programs and see if cdrdao, and cdrecord are listed there if not click on search and see if Kb3 finds them.

Good news and bad news..
I took your suggestions and ran k3b as root..I gave a different error and said I needed "dvd+r tools' so I installed that and from root was able to burn a cdrom.. Then I tried from UID and it shows the sam two errors.."Unable to find cdrecord executable" and" unable to find cdrdao executable"... Both are installed so it must be a permission problem(I guess).. Next thing is how to get K3b working from User.. Thanks for your help...One more step upward.. jolphil |
What kernel are you using?
I just had to 'adduser <user> cdrom' to get mine working. If it complains there is no group then 'addgroup cdrom' first. http://debianlinux.net/~jama/howto/c...ing_steps.html Here is a link that tells how to use k3b setup. I've never done that. Supposed to be very easy though. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...=k3b+root+user Steve |
Check your K3b version and kernel.
Kernel 2.6.9 and above needs K3b version 0.11.18 or better to run as normal user. Current K3b is 0.11.22. |
Thank You for your helpful replies..i am going away for a few days but I will try it as soon as I get back..
Jolphil Edit..Kernel Linux 2.6.8-1-386 K3b 0.11.20.1 |
I am using KIIIB on SuSe and it seems to work great.
