anyone know anything about this? after i setup my system with scsi emulation (please see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=429553 for various output). i have only 2 problems. one is that my cdrom is recognized as scsi and actually works like a cd-player... which isnt a problem at all. it wont mount filesystems though. my other problem is that my burners pioneer dvr-110d and philips cdd4801 on secondary and primary masters respectivey (i know its probably bad to not have my hard drive as the primary master, but i had problems with my old cdrom drive dying and not mounting during my os install, and then the bios not recognizing the mbr or something... accepting suggestions to reverse this nonsense) go through the motions but dont actually write any data. for a while the philips kept misreading my CD-R media as CD-RW and wanted to erase. i fixed this by editing my fstab to include "udf" filesystems. i have to run k3b from the root term or as su to get it to unlock the devices. could this be a permissions issues? any help would be greatly appreciated! even if i help myself, hah!

man i wish my cd drive faked orgasms
hehe.. sorry useless post.. i was just misled here by the orgasms

my philips drive would load and eject the disc a bunch of times before faking a burn... its pretty funny.

~ brian

If you treated your CD-drive right it wouldn't have to FAKE the orgasms.

This is a silly thread title.

i thought i was treatin her right.... i saved from impending doom, bought her a new house, a replaced her momb, even tried playing some marvin gaye.... oh well.

i did figure a few thigns out though with K3B. i can make coasters writing with TAO manually set to 8x, automatically adjusted to 4x (this is a 16x burner, with max auto detect of 18x). these coasters have the first 7-10 seconds of each song iwas trying to burn. this leads me to believe that ive ignored another crucial cdrecord error message... one about no write mode specified, assuming TAO. here's the output as su (same as user). note that there's no hypen before "scanbus", effects the output

i popped one of the coasters back into the dvdrw and it recognized it as a dvd-rom... odd? yes... i also still cant play dvds or audio cds in the burners.


~ brian

im trying to burn a data cd... seems to be operating much more realistically. the buffer is staying at 100% constantly. with the audio cd it never reached more than a third of the way because it was going so fast... which makes me wonder when it was planning on doing the mp3 conversions. i tried to burn an audio cd in gnomebaker and i got the same 8 seconds/track coaster. but no... the data cd didn't burn either. a little help?

~brian

Modified title.......

a shot in the dark for a cdrecord command... still no write.

Turn OFF ide-scsi, unload ide_scsi module. It is not needed for ATAPI CD-RW with 2.6 kernels. Try to undo the mess you said you done Without ide-scsi, your devices should be detected as /dev/hd*, not /dev/sg*; like regular CD or DVD drive. Try to mount, if it works - you fixed one of the possible problems and then try recording as root. If K3b or X-CD-Roast work as root, but not as regular user, see if cdrecord is setuid (it most probably is), and if so, REMOVE suid bit:
# chmod u-s cdrecord
Cdrecord is intended to be setuid, but, as I'd read, some recent change in the kernels breaks this (not sure if it was in 2.6.9 or 2.6.10, it worked as suid on my old 2.6.8, but not on my recent 2.6.12)

thanks! like i said, its a case of a newbie messing with a good thing. the ACTUAL problem that lead me on this wild goose chase is that K3B wasn't recognizing my drives when i tried to add them. i guess playing around with scsi emulation fixed that? i dunno.... but undoing everything fixed my problem which makes me wonder what ive been doing for two days...........


~ brian

and now i realize the reason why K3B wasn't showing drives was because i didnt run it as root, and assumed it was because i wasnt using scsi emulation... so after scsi-emulation got all of my drives out of the cdrom group that the normal user couldn't see, i had to run K3B as root anyways to burn.... and then completely undo everything. but it works... and great i might add! thanks again for the simple and straightforward guidance!
