I am having trouble trying to create a cd. I tried k3b. It said that device does
not support writing. The image is iso cd file called penguinsleuth-07-05-2003.iso.
I also tried gnome cd writer and right clicked on the image. I selected write cd from the popup menu. It also said it could not write the image. My /etc/cdrecord.conf file is:
#ident @(#)cdrecord.dfl 1.4 02/07/07 Copyr 1998 J. Schilling
#
# This file is /etc/cdrecord.conf
# It contains defaults that are used if no command line option
# or environment is present.
#
# The default device, if not specified elswhere
#
CDR_DEVICE=cdrom
#
# The default speed, if not specified elswhere
#
# Note that newer cdrecord versions do not default
# to speed=1. For MMC compliant drives, the default
# is to write at maximum speed, so it in general does
# not make sense to set up a default speed in /etc/cdrecord.conf
#
#CDR_SPEED=40
#
# The default FIFO size if, not specified elswhere
#
CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m
#
# Note that newer cdrecord versions do not default
# to speed=1. For MMC compliant drives, the default
# is to write at maximum speed, so it in general does
# not make sense to set up a default speed in /etc/cdrecord.conf
#
#CDR_SPEED=40
#
# The default FIFO size if, not specified elswhere
#
CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m
#
# The following definitions allow abstract device names.
# They are used if the device name does not contain the
# the characters ',', ':', '/' and '@'
#
# Unless you have a good reason, use speed == -1 and let
# cdrecord use it's intercal drive specific defaults.
#
# drive name device speed fifosize driveropts
#
cdrom= ATAPI:0,0,0 -1 -1 burnfree
I finally tried cdrecord directly ie:
[rmiles@localhost rmiles]$ cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 penguinsleuth-07-05-2003.iso
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults.
cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...
