K3b won't write to disk
Hi, I have suse 10.0 and can not write cd's with K3b. It seems to do everything it supposed to except actully write to the cd. It says its writing but its not. I went to the Novel site and tried the K3b download from there but the result was the same. If I try to erase a cd it locks up the PC, any ideas? Adrian

Try going to the K3B tools menu and run the K3B configuration thingy... it sounds like you either have a permissions problem (ie the user running k3b does not have permissions to write to the device) or it hasn't detected that your CD drive is actually a burner. The configuration tool should help determine (if not fix) which of these it is.

Hi Thymox, I get this message when K3b starts,"cdrdao will be run without root privileges
It is highly recommended to configure cdrdao to run with root privileges to increase the overall stability of the burning process. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem." Q where is this set-up? I looked in Tools there is a link in settings "configure k3b" but can't really find the set up, there is a greyed out button under Misc, sub heading system "check system configuration" |
Try running k3b as root. You should be able to do this by running (from a command line):
Code:
$ kdesu k3b |
thanks Thymox, when it ran from the command line the only option I got was to alter the write speed,tried that no joy. just says the same when I try, it says 'writing' but doesn't this used to work when I ran suse 9.2 and my pc hasn't changed.

OK, well the error message you're getting says to run the cdrdao programme with root privileges. I was hoping you could use k3b's own tools, but you can still do this manually.
(Note: the above action is known as "making the file 'setuid'". It's used so that when the file is run, it runs as the person who owns the file (ie root) rather than the person trying to execute it (ie user).) |
Hi Thymox thank you, before I had got your last post I had uninstalled k3b and reinstalled, it seems to be more functional with grayed out boxes now working, however It still wasn't writing. I followed your instructions and got this message on start up:
" Writing device OPTORITE - CD-RW CW4002 is automounted. Automounting can cause problems with CD/DVD writing, especially with rewritable media. Although it might all work just fine it is recommended to disable automounting completely for now. Solution: Replace the automounting entries in /etc/fstab with old-fashioned ones." also the set up button is attached to this i ran it but can't see what to do? is it about adding permissions? I do not know replace the automounting entries in /etc/fstab, can you advise please, thanks Adrian here is the debugging output?

You would need to edit your fstab entries. If you make them look like the following, then you can still use the drives, but they won't automatically "mount" when you put a disc in:
Code:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 |
thanks agian but can you explain how I actuly do it? I opened a file by using Kate, this is it:
