Hi all...

I have done a lot of 'distro-switching' but it seems that all distro's that run gnome 2.12, can't find my cd-burner...

Since graveman and serpentine use nautilus-cd-burner (my guess), they can't find them either... tried ide-scsi, which fails to work (using kernel 2.6.1X). However, "cdrdao scanbus" seems to find my burner (as ATA). growisofs works.

Is there any solution to this? Like, can I set what drive he should use for burning? (like: /dev/cdrw)

Hope anybody knows the solution to this... I hate being unable to burn cd's...

Thanks. Geert.

Serpentine and graveman aren't based on nautilus-cd-burner. They are most likely just frontends to cdrecord, mkisofs and some sound file apps like madplayer, lame, or mpg321.

Can you see your drive as root? Usually you have to set up access to some group (on my system, the 'optical' group) to be able to burn cds as a normal user.

Since you are an arch user (as I, at the moment)... I am present in the optical group... No, as Root I can't write in gnome, so this shouldn't be a permissions problem.

Geert.
