Can no longer write to CD

johnisevil · 2007-02-24 05:01:46

When using gnomebaker (which has worked flawlessly in the past), I now get the following error:

It tells me to insert a CD into my writer (when there's already a CD in the writer) then ejects it after spitting out this error again. Any ideas?

Hi johnisevil,
check if you are in the optical group

noriko · 2007-02-24 07:43:15

is that device name 'hdd' a result of manual setup?

i think it should be, sr0, or slinks: cd,cdrom...

johnisevil · 2007-02-24 08:25:04

I'm in the optical group and I haven't made any modifications to udev rules or anything.

noriko · 2007-02-24 23:38:10

i meant gb settings..

In gnomebaker it's listed as /dev/hdd. Looking at the files for it in /dev, they all point back to /dev/hdd with symlinks.

turtle · 2007-02-25 05:23:53

I'm using k3b. Recently I had a message, that cdrecord no longer works with root privileges. Try this:

# chmod -s /usr/bin/cdrecord

That didn't do anything.

johnisevil · 2007-03-04 05:57:26

So no one has any suggestions?

lilsirecho · 2007-03-04 06:01:32

Try changing permissions......

johnisevil · 2007-03-04 06:05:34

Tried that and even tried burning as root. Nothing.

johnisevil · 2007-04-06 02:48:06

After all this time I still can't write to CD.

raymano · 2007-04-06 05:04:15

I don't know if this would help but here's what I would try

cp /usr/bin/wodim /usr/bin/cdrecord

chown root.optical /usr/bin/cdrecord /dev/hdd
chmod 4775 /usr/bin/cdrecord
chmod 4775 /dev/hdd

Make sure ide-scsi module is loaded too.

Make sure you are a member of the optical group.

Shot in the dark.

Hope it helps.

I've tried all of those and a few other things with the same results. Or lack of results.

Cotton · 2007-04-07 15:53:54

Is this a PATA issue? Or rather, lack of PATA.

My CD device in gnomebaker is called /dev/sr0

johnisevil · 2007-04-11 15:58:36

Don't the recent PATA changes only apply to people with newer Intel chipsets?

I have the same problem. I can write dvd but when i try to write a cd it fails.

with gnomebaker and brasero it failes but with k3b is working. I think that is a bug in gnomebaker

This is a very ugly solution.
K3B is now built without the k3bsetup module, because the package maintainer judged this module is useless and obtrusive (IMO unjustly).
The correct solution is grabbing the K3B PKGBUILD from ABS, editing it to change --with-k3bsetup to "yes" (from no), and rebuilding the package.
Both solutions should work, but the second one is more "politically correct".
Another solution is ignoring the warning (as it's not very likely that you will encounter major burning problems because of the "wrong" permissions as long as you are in the "optical" group), but this one is also not a "clean" solution.
Anyway, pick from the above what you think it's more appropriate.

This thread is old, but i still though i'd confirm this. Nowadays, i use nautilus cd/dvd creator for data, "write to disc" servicemenu in gnome for ISO:s, and serpentine for audio cd:s, so i'm OK.
It seems gnomebaker is broken most of the time for a lot of reasons...

Looks like this might be a permission problem. Is the user a member of the optical group? You can do this as root:

gpasswd -a <username> optical

I had this problem with Brasero. I did not have the HAL daemon running. As root run:

hald

Add hal to the daemons line in /etc/rc.conf to have it start automatically.
If this does not help, try running brasero as root to check that it is not a problem with permissions.

Edit: Now it seems that Brasero requires the HAL daemon to be running or it will not start.

I had this problem, and had to:

1. chmod +s /usr/bin/cdrecord
2. chmod +s /usr/bin/wodim
3. chown root:optical /usr/bin/cdrecord
4. chown root:optical /usr/bin/wodim

These two were already done:
5. chown root:optical /dev/sr0
6. chmod 660 /dev/sr0

for my username I log into to start X:
7. gpasswd -a <username> optical

I tried loading the ide-scsi module from the command line, and validated that it had loaded, but it didn't work until I did this:
8. Add ide-scsi to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.d
and rebooted.

Caveat: it's worked once so far. I'll try to remember to post again if that does it. Also, my problem was specifically a "permission denied" error when wodim tried to open /dev/sr0 (or anyway I assume that's what it was doing; that was the last thing it mentioned before it bombed). I wasn't trying to use hdd. To the OP, there is a message that says something about reading a README file for wodim for ATAPI CDROMs; from your device name, it's clear to me that that is what you're doing, so I suggest you go read it and do what it says. Excellent chance it will fix it.

Schneibster · 2008-12-23 04:31:19

OK, further update: I originally had a problem of unknown type and origin (nothing in any of the logs, just "I failed" in the UI) with the Nautilus integrated cd tools, and switched to gnomebaker. The above appeared to work with gnomebaker, but all it did was hose up the CDROM; it wasn't mountable and any attempt to dd it or otherwise figure out what was going on resulted in I/O errors. However, with the above settings, Nautilus worked fine, and the CDROM came out fine. Since I didn't try Nautilus in between settings, I can't say for sure which one(s) was(were) the problem. Not having tried burning an audio CD with any of this stuff, I have no idea how well gnomebaker will work there, but I'll certainly be looking it over pretty carefully if I use it (I don't burn audio CDs much).

I'll also note that I had trouble with burning CDs on this laptop with XP Pro x86 previously, which I solved by loading UltraISO on it; on the other hand, both XP Pro x86 and SuSE 11.0 x86 and x64, as well as Arch x64, have always burned data DVDs fine. I've never burned a media DVD on this laptop. I suspect that the hardware interface for CD burning may be a bit hinky, probably in terms of how you need to address it for it to work right. Most likely the default options chosen by gnomebaker when it uses wodim are to blame.
