Burning ISO's in Etch

[pfe1223]

I have been having some problems burning iso's in Etch. First, natilus-cd-burner gave me a generic error message. Then I tried bonfire, which said I don't have the right permissions. So, I looked up the users/groups in Gnome, and it said that I may use the cdrom. Has anybody else had a problem burning iso's in Etch? Thanks.

Did you try K3B ?

Did you make sure "cdrecord" and "cdrdao" permissions and ownership are set rightly ?

Well, I run Gnome, and I would rather not mix GTK and QT apps if at all possible. How do I set permissions on cdrecord and cdrdao? Thanks.

The output of

ls -l /usr/bin/cdr*

should look like that :

-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 564332 2006-08-15 20:45 /usr/bin/cdrdao
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 133 2006-01-07 13:43 /usr/bin/cdrecord
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 323540 2006-01-07 13:44 /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 323540 2006-01-07 13:44 /usr/bin/cdrecord.shm

So all of those for must be owned by root and member of "cdrom" group. Plus they must be set as "SUID" (the "s" in the permissions).

If it doesn't look like that, you can fix it in 2 steps (in that order).

Run both commands as root :

1) Ownership

chown root:cdrom /usr/bin/cdr*

2) Permissions

chmod 4754 /usr/bin/cdr*

3) Verify with

ls -l /usr/bin/cdr*

that everything has been setup right.

Now it should work.

If it doesn't help, we'll try something else.
