I have this odd situation. I am running 2.6.9 in Sarge which I compiled
by downloading the 2.6.9 kernel source from kernel.org since Sarge
doesn't have this as a package yet. In this kernel, I am not able to use
the cdrecord to burn CD's and K3b does not see my cdwriter as a write
but as a reader. This is most probably related to infamous cdrecord
problem in 2.6.8 (and 9?). And in this Sarge machine, I have:
ii cdrecord 2.0+a34-2 command line CD writing tool
ii k3b 0.11.12-1 A sophisticated KDE cd burning application
However, I have two other machines here which are running 2.6.9 in
Debian Sid. Both have their kernels from Debian packages. In those
machines, k3b runs okay and sees the writer correctly as a writer and I
am able to burn CDs using cdrecord. In these Sid machines, I have:
ii cdrecord 2.0+a38-1 command line CD writing tool
ii k3b 0.11.17-1 A sophisticated KDE cd burning application
Would anybody be able to tell me is it the kernel (vanilla vs Debian
package) that is the problem here or the different versions of the two
applications?
No idea. Try comparing what you have in /etc/cdrecord and /etc/default
on the two machines. Just copy or adapt what works to what doesn't. Cdrecord
works with that config file, and it's really uphill to do it any other way,
as you can see in the info doc. daveA
