<snip>Hi all :-)
I have done some digging around on this one but am not getting anywhere.
I am trying to get xcdroast working for user 'dave' (me !)
xcdroast works fine for root.<snip>
xcdroast works but when I try to record I get ...
Cannot allocate memory. Cannot get SCSI I/O buffer
This sounds to me more like a permissions issue with the burner's /dev
entry. What are the permissions for the device?
OK here goes ...
xcdroast is set up to use SCSI 0,0,0 However this relates to /dev/hdc
bash-2.05b# ls -al /dev/hdc
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Jan 24 00:01 /dev/hdc -> ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
bash-2.05b# ls -al /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
brwxrwxrwx 1 dave cdrom 22, 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
bash-2.05b#
I tried chmoding /dev/hdc to allow write but it would not change. I changed xcdroasts setup to use /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd directly instead of scsi 0,0,0 but it would not even recognise it as a cd writter.
