[SOLVED] ImgBurn on Wine 1.5.13 - device not detected

toni · 2012-10-15 20:47:16

Hi all,
I have installed imgburn 2.5.7.0 on wine 1.5.13 but my optical drive is not detected. Any ideas?

Thx.

In the console output I saw that it whined about not finding /dev/sg* devices.
Run 'sudo modprobe sg' and try again. Worked for me.

Out of curiosity, why are you using ImgBurn under wine and not some Linux-native program?

Great! It worked, many thanks.

I always have used Linux-native programs for burning CD/DVDs (Brasero and k3b, I think they are great tools) but last day I downloaded and iso for my videogame console and I burnt it using Brasero but the iso was not working so I thought that maybe there was a problem with Brasero and since a lot of people was recommending to use ImgBurn, I decided to use it. Finally, I discovered that the problem was not in Brasero, iso burnt with ImgBurn (from Win because wine was not detecting my optical drive) was not working so I discovered the iso was being the problem.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is ng?

Cheers.

It's 'sg', not 'ng' ;P It's a kernel module. All I know is you load the module, the device shows up, optical disc burner program is happy. I recall a similar issue with Nero.
You can load it at boot if you want, so you don't have to remember to type 'modprobe sg' every time.

If i am not mistaken, sg is loaded automatically by udev, since the previous few versions.

It's not on my system and I don't recall it being auto-loaded previously, but Tom said https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1010046

3) modprobe sg: this should never be needed. If it is, it is a bug in udev or kernel or your setup

so maybe it's worth looking into, if you want.

I think that was before the autoloading started to happen.

From my pacman.log

The manual loading (or loading using rc.conf) of the 'sg' module is no longer necessary.
It is automatically loaded during boot by systemd-tools (udev 185).

I have cdrtools installed, and the above is the post_install message for that. Though, i doubt that makes a difference with autoloading.
