cd writer setup, k3b won't work, fstab right??
I am using a Dell P3 that I installed Knoppix 3.2 on. I did the hard
disk install and have a dandy running Debian unstable system. It works
beautifully.
Then I yanked a cd burner out of another computer here and tried to get
it working. I have xcdroast installed. When I try and run it, it won't
even come up.
I have k3b installed. When I try and run it, it says it can't find
cdrecord even though I have installed cdrecord. The text of the error
message is: "Unable to find cdrecord executable
K3b uses cdrecord to actually write cds. Without cdrecord K3b won't be
able to properly initialize the writing devices.
Solution: Install the cdrtools package which contains cdrecord."
Apt-get install does not know of any package called cdrtools.
I have Arson installed. It will come up with no error messages, but when
I go into its setup menu, the drop down where you select the cd writer
is blank.
My guess is that I just don't have the cd set up correctly at a basic level.
I believe I have scsi emulation set up.
Here are some bits of various files that tell the story I think:

============
I checked to see if cdrecord was even installed and got this:
root@full:/home/ken# cdrecord
cdrecord.mmap: No tracks specified. Need at least one.
Usage: cdrecord.mmap [options] track1...trackn
Use cdrecord.mmap -help
to get a list of valid options.
Use cdrecord.mmap blank=help
to get a list of valid blanking options.
Use cdrecord.mmap dev=b,t,l driveropts=help -checkdrive
to get a list of drive specific options.
Use cdrecord.mmap dev=help
to get a list of possible SCSI transport specifiers.
root@full:/home/ken#
root@full:/home/ken#
On the other hand, when I do it non root, I get:
ken@full:~$ cdrecord
/usr/bin/cdrecord: /usr/bin/cdrecord: Permission denied
k3b produced the same error whether I log on as an ordinary user or as root.
I hope someone can help, please?
So, that is as much as I know to include here for infomation. I have
lost my way in this stuff. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Ken
