Cannot burn CD/DVD with Fedora 7
I have Fedora 7 installed and it seems that I have problems burning CD/DVD-roms.
Normally I use Gnomebaker, but also have NeroLinux 3.0. NeroLinux has gives the error that it cannot read the device dev/sg0 until /dev/3, GnomeBaker will not see any empty CD-rom in the drive and keeps asking to insert a empty disk. I use a standard LG GSA-H10L DVD-writer, which is a drive with an pata/ide interface. Needles to say that the drive worked normal in Fedora Core 6 or other Linux distributions. |

You state that the drive works in other distros. Is this via dual boot or something like Knoppix (good way to test physical burner works)
Also. I am a bit rusty on my shell commands for direct command burning (don't typically work on small systems with DVD) but here is the shell script I ran to write from shell to the DVD device. Try this to eliminate a "GUI" issue. Quote:
The think to validate if that does not work (or simple burn of some other ISO image you have) is to start validation of the CD burning driver stack. (I am not 100% certain of all the dependencies ... so those who know a bit more pipe in on corrections). Validate: 1) Sym Link:"ls -alh /dev/dvd" (slave IDE in my case) Quote:

Now that you know the drive location, that sym links are set and the supported DVD modes that the drive supports you should be able to do test write. |
Searching on Fedora and Red Hat Wikies I found an alternative solution. It seems like Fedora applies permissions through SElinux. You just need to add a file in /etc/security/console.perms.d which I named 51-custom.perms. Open it and add these simple lines:
Code:
# custom permission definitions In few words it simply says SElinux that everyone in the "disk" group can access /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1 and it automatically reset permissions on those devices on login. Hope it helps! ;) |

Hello
I've just donloaded Nero Linux 3 - trial- (says there it;s released on August the 8th) and it works! Just burnt my first DVD on Linux Fedora Core 7. If anyone stumbbles across a serial so I can get it to work pass October, I'd really apreciate it. Thanks |
It is really easy to stumble across a serial for Nero 3.0 for Linux just pay US$ 24.99.

why don't you use k3b it has been reward to be THE BEST open source burning application!
you only have to set the correct permissions on cdrecorder and cdrdao chmod 755 /usr/bin/cdrdao chmod 755 /usr/bin/cdrecord yum install k3b |
