Trying to burn iso

[ruthy]

Hello

Really houwping you know how to solve this. Have been asking what might be the issue, but have not been able to get an answer.
Am trying to burn an iso image that i downloaded. When using Brasero (even on the slowest burn) and at the end i get an error message. Have also tried XfBurn, but when i choose the file the image is in and click to open it appears on the very top of the panel and i can't get into it.

at the end i get an error message.

what is the error message ? Be sure when burning you are selecting to burn an ISO not make a bootable cd.

It says “unknown error”

Oh no! I clicked to delete the iso from the desktop and it deleted it from the folder as well. Please be a way to get it back

Its OK i had it on another drive as well. And I'd already started to hit my head

But how to get it to burn?
I think it burns as an iso normally?

Try gnomebaker. To install

sudo apt-get install gnomebaker

I have yet to figure out why, but I have no end of troubles burning from every program except gnomebaker and k3b.

Or you can get your geek on and try it from the terminal

wodim dev=/dev/scd0 fs=14M speed=4 -dao -eject -v myimage.iso

That seems to have burnt fine. Just goes to show that a little advice can go such a long way.
It would be good to scan the file, so was wondering if there is an antivirus i could use for linux

Yes, you can find some antivirus apps that you might like listed here:

Anti-Virus | Linux App Finder

...it's better to install the one of your choice with your default system package tool if possible.

ClamAV is popular.

Did you use GnomeBaker or the command line?

It turns out Avast! Is available for Linux so i used that
Hi reed9, you were so helpful as usual. At the moment am using Mint so i just used the package manager.

Thank you for your help as well ozar and Lostfarmer.

try infrarecorder but if that doesn't work try unetbootin on a flash drive
