Have you updated cdrtools since you made default installation? What version of gnome are you using? You could try downloading and reinstalling cdrtools from official Slackware mirror.

I think gnomebaker is giving a command which isn't supported/deprecated with your version of cdrtools. When asking version, I meant is it dropline, or gware, or freerock gnome. Try updating cdrtools from current.

Check if your frg is also up to date. I'm using dropline and baker works normally for me. What is version (number) of your baker?
P.S. You can also use graveman, which is also for gnome.

Don't know either cause my baker version is the same. Maybe somebody else could point out why gnome baker is not working for you.

Just tried baker to burn some photos into cd. It worked fine. It's really strange why k3b is working and others don't.
Post your /dev/cdrom and /dev/hda permissions.
