hope you can help, I know that it is something stupid but I cannot work it out.

I did a search on Google and came across this :

hey David, the solution to your problem is to go to cdrecord's website and download the newest version of cdrecord. Lets say you download it to your Downloads folder. Unzip it, and in the terminal type (without quotes) "cd /home/david(you're user name I'm assuming)/Downloads/(the name of the cdr-tools folder, ex. cdrtools-2.01a) then type "sudo make", hit enter, it'll ask for your password, type it and hit enter. Then type "sudo make install". Now type these commands, enter after each line. This will move out of the way the useless wodim files previously on your computer, you can copy and paste these lines to your terminal. sudo mkdir /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/cdrecord /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/genisoimage /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/mkisofs /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/readom /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/wodim /opt/schily/replacedfiles next you'll link your new files to where k3b will look, hit enter after each line, you can copy and paste sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrecord sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/mkisofs /usr/bin/genisoimage sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/mkisofs /usr/bin/mkisofs sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/readcd /usr/bin/readom sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/wodim sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/readcd /usr/bin/readcd sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/mkhybrid /usr/bin/mkhybrid sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/cdda2wav /usr/bin/cdda2wav now install k3b and write in RAW mode. You'll be able to write cds now. The whole reason you had this problem was because Ubuntu does not come with an original version of cdrecord, but an inferior modified version. Please Ubuntu, in 10.04 please please please use the full original version of cdrecord.


So I went and downloaded the cdrtools file and tried to follow the instructions but I don't understand it .

I need help Please

Hi Gryphoninc,

can you specify exactly what you don't understand?
In which step of the instructions you got stuck? They seem pretty straightforward to me, so if you can be more specific I'll be glad to help, although I don't use Ubuntu.

And welcome to Linux!

When you did the first part of the multi-session burn, the disc got mounted afterward, and k3b will not let you burn to a mounted device, even if it is configured for multi-session recording. First you need to unmount the disc. If it shows up on the desktop, right-click on the disc icon, and select Unmount from the list. Don't eject it - just unmount it. Now, k3b (or whatever other burner tool you want to use) should be happy.
