-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 >Hi guys. Recently after upgrading to 2.6.81, I can no longer burn audio >CD's with cdrecord. In this instance, it got up to track 4, then produced >the following output: <snip> There are a few problems here. A newer version of cdrecord was released fairly recently. That fixes the problem you are having somewhat. I happen to know that you're using Fedora and it was mentioned on the author's website that Fedora and a couple other distros ship munged versions of the package. Take the author's advice and build cdrtools from source. Directions for doing so can be found here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/multimedia/cdrtools.html That page does not point you at the latest version but if you look on freshmeat there is a project page for cdrtools that has the latest one. The author of the cdrtools studff has some silly belief that everyone should use Solaris. He also thinks that GNU Make doesn't work correctly. When you compile cdrtools make will spam your screen with silly warnings and things about how out of date it is and how the make developers aren't maintaining the code and such. It will even go to the trouble of beeping your terminal in case you didn't realize that there were the warnings. I'm pointing this out so you don't think something is wrong with your compiler or something while you're building this. The other thing is that you'll get warnings about the syntax "dev=/dev/hdd" being unsupported and bla bla bla but ignore that it will work fine. You also must burn cd's as root with 2.6.8.1 because the author claims that the SCSI interface is broke in that kernel. Note that having cdrecord suid root isn't going to work. Youy will get warnings about not being root if you run cdrecord as your regular user. Also you'll get warnings even when cdrecord is run as root about not selecting a default mode of oparation and a few other things, though there is a workaround for this last one if you put the mode setting in your /etc/default/cdrecord file I think it's called. See the man page for that. I think that's all the silly things about cdrecord I can think of right now. Hopefully that should help and clear a few things up. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkFi0HEACgkQ7V+Ye7TD5BwpEACdHyiijOdB56BBsiPP5u8oqmOo ivAAmgMGz9hoAwmiVVnJjyrAIBn3Xr8P =k2EE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
