cd burning software on Mandrake 9.1

cooldude · 08-25-2003, 03:55 PM

hi every1,

i want to backup some of the data from my linux laptop(Mandrake 9.1) to a CD. I do have a CD burner. But i don't know which software would be the best for burning a CD from Mandrake.

Any thoughts on this one ?

Cool d

Are you using KDE? If so, try k3b.

agustin · 08-25-2003, 05:51 PM

I second k3d. Incredibly easy to use, integrates some menu options with Konqueror.

I like X-CD-Roast.
The RPM is on your Mandrake CDs.

X-CD-Roast is excellent. K3b is easier to use. You can right click on a folder with the files you want to back up and chose "Create Data CD with K3b".

Where's the sadists?

cdrecord mixed with a little mkisofs, ahh yeah

Ok, so occasionally Eroaster is cool

Or for those days when you don't want X, but you don't wanna hand type everything, there's:

Cool

I have tried it (Mandrake 9.1). I go through the setup routine -- which correctly identifies my drives. Then, when I run the program itself, it does not recognize that I even have any CD drives!!!

You would think that somebody would have tested this before shipping it.

Well, it certainly works for me. Your hardware probably just isn't supported.

try x-cd-roast instead.

I am having different problem, my Phillps CDRW isn't on the list of supported drives.

It will find it and read from it but won't write to it.

I am not finished playing with it yet, I am going to pull the drive and write down the model number and other info and submit it to the address below. Maybe the developer can help me out.

All of these GUI programs run cdrecord, and that is where no problem is, cdrecord it runs OPC and then sends and error:

cmd finished after 25.952s timeout 60s
/usr/bin/cdrecord: OPC failed.
/usr/bin/cdrecord: fifo had 16 puts and 0 gets.
/usr/bin/cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 0 times full, min fill was 100%.
Writing time: 28.595s

So far i can't find any info of this.

Go here for a help with cdrecord

You need to make sure SCSI Emulation is turned on:

Go into /etc/lilo.conf

and edit it to look something like this:

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda7
append="hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet"
vga=788
read-only

then rerun lilo reboot and it should work now.

How would you make those same corrections w/ GRUB?

amigatec · 08-27-2003, 07:14 PM

I am not sure I have always used lilo.
