Problem burning cds

leeghoofd · 2005-05-05 18:56:09

Hi,

I'm trying to burn an audio cd but it doesn't work, (data cds don't work either) I tried it both in graveman and gnomebaker. This is the error I get with gnomebaker (translated to english..)

Error mounting /mnt/cd

umount: /mnt/cd isn't mounted (according to mtab)

In graveman the burn button is gray (not sensitive)

I'm a bit confused because I though it was impossible to mount an audio cd?

Also because the burning didn't work I swithed to udev, I will try to give a lot of information:

cat /etc/fstab:

none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0
tmpfs                  /tmp          tmpfs     defaults            0      0
usbfs                  /proc/bus/usb usbfs  defaults            0      0

/dev/hdc     /mnt/cd   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/hdc     /mnt/dvd  udf       ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

/dev/discs/disc0/part6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part5 / reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part8 /home/david/data reiserfs defaults 0 0

I don't know why the /dev/hdc was in fstab twice, is this needed and is the cd line correct? My computer only has one cd (laptop)

mount

/dev/hda5 on / type reiserfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda8 on /home/david/data type reiserfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)

cat /etc/group | grep david

disk::6:root,david
wheel::10:root,david
audio:!:92:david
optical::93:david
users::100:david
slocate:x:21:david
video:x:91:david
floppy:x:94:david
storage:x:95:david

The user david wants to burn, I added it to a lot of groups to be sure I didn't miss one

cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | egrep -v '^#|^$'

cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | egrep -v '^#|^$'
timeout   5
default   0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
title  Arch Linux  [/boot/vmlinuz26]
root   (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part5 ro nolapic devfs=nomount

Especially the fstab file I'm not sure of if its good, could you please give me feedback and maybe explain a bit about how I should put the cd line? (or post your fstab file ) Please tell me if you need more information.

Thanks in advance!
David

try k3b and run k3b-setup - it works out of the box

The first error, is it when you launch the app, or when you try to burn?

About the two entries in FSTAB, you can see that next to the mount dir, there is a filesystem tag, if the filesystem (CD or DVD) inside your DRIVE (CDROM/rw or DVDROM/rw) is udf it will mount it in /mnt/dvd as this is the fs for them (also for some paquet written cds), and if it is iso9660 it will mount it in /mnt/cd.

The mount command output is ok, you should see anything mounted if the CD/DVD is blank.

The right group for burning should be "optical".

ps. your fstab file seems to be alright. try giving more detail about the error and problem you are having.

regards.

If you upgraded to the latest udev 057 the optical group might not work. Read this thread for details:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=12071

I also use submount for automounting and the line from fstab looks like this:

/dev/hdc                /mnt/cd         subfs           fs=cdfss,ro,iocharset=iso8859-2,umask=0 0 0

(correct udev rules for /dev/hdc are in the thread I mentioned above) cdfss will autodetect correct filesystem and mount it under /mnt/cd (for a non blank cd/dvd of course :-)).

You might want to try XCDRoast.

Thanks for all your replys!

I tried buring with k3b and that worked perfect! But since I use gnome I would like to burn with gnomebaker. When I click ok at that first error gnomebaker starts reading the cd and that works ok. But when it starts to burn it says this:

So that's probably the permission problem? I will try the tips in lanrats post. But how comes that k3b can burn perfectly?

Also I think the reason that it didn't work in graveman is because graveman isn't able to read an audio cd.
