Can't burn CD via K3b


When trying to burn a music CD via K3b, I initially get:

cdrdao
-----------------------
Cdrdao version 1.1.7 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas@daneb.de>
SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling
Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty
Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables.
Using libscg version 'andreas-0.5-UNIXWARE_Patch'
0,0,0: SONY CD-RW CRX300E Rev: KYS1
ERROR: No driver found for 'SONY CD-RW CRX300E', available drivers:
cdd2600
generic-mmc
generic-mmc-raw
plextor
plextor-scan
ricoh-mp6200
sony-cdu920
sony-cdu948
taiyo-yuden
teac-cdr55
toshiba
yamaha-cdr10x
For all recent recorder models either the 'generic-mmc' or
the 'generic-mmc-raw' driver should work.
Use option '--driver' to force usage of a driver, e.g.: --driver generic-mmc
ERROR: Cannot setup device 0,0,0.

I have a new Sony DVD CD R/W, so the generic-mmc driver should work.

So then I try adding "--driver generic-mmc" to the parameter list for cdrdao (within K3b's programs setup), but K3b then gives an error "ERROR: Illegal option: --driver gereric-mmc" despite the fact that this is the suggested parameter. I have tried variations of this parameter ... enclosing it in quotes, etc.. I also tried generic-mmc-raw driver in the same manner, and get the same errors.

I get the following output.

cdrdao
-----------------------
ERROR: Illegal option: --driver generic-mmc
Cdrdao version 1.1.7 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas@daneb.de>
SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling
Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty
Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables.
Usage: /usr/bin/cdrdao write [options] toc-file
options:
--device <x,y,z> - sets SCSI device of CD-writer
(default: 0,0,0)
--driver <id> - force usage of specified driver
--simulate - just perform a write simulation
--speed <writing-speed> - selects writing speed
--multi - session will not be not closed
--overburn - allow to overburn a medium
--eject - ejects cd after writing or simulation
--swap - swap byte order of audio files
--buffers # - sets fifo buffer size (min. 10)
--reload - reload the disk if necessary for writing
--force - force execution of operation
-v # - sets verbose level
-n - no pause before writing

I have not tried using cdrdao from the command line because it requires me to build a TOC file for the tracks that I want to burn, and I cannot find a syntax guide for this file. I imagine K3b builds this file on the fly for you before it shells out to cdrdao.

Any ideas, oh Linux gurus?

Thanks!

try going to settings->configure k3b, then go to the devices section and change the driver there. that worked for me. if it doesn't work for you, you'll have to get someone who knows more than me to help you.
