Re: Can mount external CD but can't play or rip tracks
The CD started playing, and I was able to copy the tracks to my computer. However, I am not able to access the burner with Xfburn or Brasero. I am using an external DVD drive with write capabilities through USB. When I run 'cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr0 -toc', I get 'cdrskin: status 2 BURN_DISC_EMPTY "There is no disc at all in the drive"'. The external drive is new, but it seems to need a lot of attention to get going. I'm in the cdrom group. The facl says I have rw.
