Which CD/DVD writing tool use on Debian stable (lenny)?
Two questions:
1) Faq debian. Quote:
Is that recomandation valid even now? 2) Which light GUI can i use? I have used graveman in archlinux, are there alterntive light on debian? I wan't use brasero because there are a lot of dependencies with gnome. xcdroast seem nice but it's only an alpha package. Version: 0.98+0alpha15-11.2 |
1) Interesting. I was under the impression that growisofs was the recommended tool these days. But maybe that is just for DVDs.
2) I think xcdroast has been around for sometime. Don't let the fact that the version number says "alpha" scare you off. These sort of version numbers are often more of an indication of the authors own personal standards than of the software's quality. Additionally, if it's in Debian stable, you can be pretty sure it's ok. Cheers, Evo2. |
cdrskin - command line CD/DVD/BD writing tool
mybashburn - ncurses rather than GUI. Burn data and create songs with interactive dialog box This application can burn data cds, music cds, multisession cds. It can burn and create ISO files. It can burn bin/cue files, create oggs and flac files. Supports burning DVD-images and data DVDs, and others funny options. MyBashBurn depends on cdrecord and others backend applications, so basically if your writing device works with it, MyBashBurn will work flawlessly. I use k3b in lxde it has a lot fewer depends than brasero, the lightest GUi is probably going to be xdroast. |
Thanks. :)
Note: When is possible i prefer avoid dependencies with fat desktop manager as gnome and kde. |

Wodim is an outdated version of cdrecord with new bugs added that never get fixed. There is no development for wodim and support mails are usually ignored for wodim. There is no working UTF-8 support in genisoimage and files > 4 GB are not supported. With the original software, there are new versions with an average frequency of 2-3 weeks and bug reports are handled in a very fast way (a typical bug report results in a fix a few hours later). The original software did add a lot of new features during the past 5 years that are all missing in the fork. |

Don't blare loudly from the tower if you haven't been in the lowries. My aptitude, uptodate to the the last quarter of an hour, tells me: [ ] idA wodim -934kB 9:1.1.9-1 9:1.1.9-1 wodim will be removed The following packages depend on wodim and will be broken by its removal: * cdrecord depends on wodim (>=5:1.0~pre1-1) * k3b depends on wodim | cdrskin * xcdroast depends on wodim [ ] Your turn now to explain, what the developers of/in Debian-squeeze had in mind, when they stipulated these dependencies ON wodim! Good night. |
$ apt-cache show wodim

It supports writing data, audio, mixed, multi-session, and CD+ disc and DVD data and video disks on DVD capable devices, on just about every type of CD/DVD recorder out there. Depends in testing often get screwed up especially when packages get removed for some odd bug. Quote:
Code:
$ apt-cache depends k3b |

Well, you discovered a real problem that was created by hostile downstream packaging maintainers. I recommend you to post bug reports against these packages in order to inform other people about the broken packaging. Cdrecord is of course the independent and _maintained_ original software and as software in general must not overwrite files from other software, wodim/cdrkit should of course not overwrite files from the software "cdrtools". Cdrtools installs the following programs: /etc/default /etc/default/cdrecord /etc/default/rscsi /usr/bin/btcflash /usr/bin/cdda2wav /usr/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/mkisofs /usr/bin/mkhybrid -> mkisofs /usr/bin/devdump /usr/bin/isodump /usr/bin/isoinfo /usr/bin/isovfy /usr/bin/isodebug /usr/bin/readcd /usr/bin/scgcheck /usr/bin/scgskeleton /usr/sbin/rscsi If you later install "cdrkit" most of the above programs will be overwritten by defective variants from the "cdrkit" package. As Debian does not have the permission to use the program names of the original software for something that is not the original software. So what Debian does is also a legal problem. |

If you go with XFCE, then you can use the XFCE CD / DVD burner xfburn. From what I have read around the LQ forums xfburn works pretty well. Graveman is also probably available in the Debian repos if you prefer that. |
I have tried run mybashburn.
There is an annoying bug that when you try to start it from an X terminal you quit immediately. But it sufficient change the dimensions of the X terminal to resolve. I haven't try to used directly when i'm outside X but seem that in that case the problem don't appear. When i tried it better i said if is ok or not. Quote:
The only time that i have tried openbox don't function, while i don't like much fluxbox for the configuration and the bar. Recently i have tried even Milax (an opensolaris small live cd) that use a different window manager and other things, but how much time i must use for obtain the same configurations? Quote:
Unfortunately graveman seem don't present on the repository. |
Yesterday I have tried mybashburn and xcdroast to burn an Iso on a cd-rw but unfortunately i haven't success for configuration problem so in the end i use directly cdrecord.

http://www.xfce.org/projects/xfburn/ As I have discussed, xfburn is the XFCE CD / DVD burning tool. I have not personally used it, but I have read that it works well. I can't think of any other GUI programs you could use. If you can't use xfburn, then the command line tools cdrecord, growisofs, etc will work well and use minimum computer resources as you have mentioned. |
Seem interesting.
$ sudo apt-get install xfburn 0 aggiornati, 8 installati, 0 da rimuovere e 0 non aggiornati. È necessario prendere 7267kB di archivi. Dopo quest'operazione, verranno occupati 15,0MB di spazio su disco. Vs $ sudo apt-get install brasero 0 aggiornati, 23 installati, 0 da rimuovere e 0 non aggiornati. È necessario prendere 35,7MB di archivi. Dopo quest'operazione, verranno occupati 54,2MB di spazio su disco. I would like give a try. :) |
Well, if you don't want to use Brasero you can give Gnomebaker a shot. I used it for along time until I moved over to Brasero.
|
I have used Gnomebaker in the past, with very bad result, before use Brasero.
The problem in using this application is a lot of dependencies with Gnome. However i used xfburn and i'm happy about the result. I think is a right compromise between GUI user-friendly and don't heavy application with few dependencies. |
