Re: Re. [SLUG] Re: mounting DVD & CDRW drives.

Mein Gott ... it Vorks !
please just reply to the list, i don't need to be cc'd.
Sorry, it varies with different people.

change the permissions on /dev/hdd to 666 or add yourself to the disk
group.
Not necessary - but I'll have a look at it.
Good idea. It detected both DVD and CDRW drives and, on command,
started to burn but stopped, suggesting that I change from the -DAO to
the -TAO option. I have seen command line options how to do this in
'man cdrecord', but not in xcdroast.

there is an option in the "Write Tracks" screen, after you have accepted
track layout, on the right hand side about halfway down called "Write
mode" which has a drop down menu.
That did the trick.  I turned the first CD-R into a coaster, refusing to 
blank after early attempts, but after finding the menu and changing to 
-TAO (I was
thinking of traditional Chinese philosophy, I confess) the second burned
perfectly. I'm chuffed to be able to do this in Debian rather than 
relying on
NERO in XP, but I'd still like to get my head around /cdrecord/. I don't 
trust them thar' GUI's anymore.

Further, in tinkering with the config I notice that  under 'HD
Settings' it lists my largest empty partition, /home, as "Writeable ?
No" - and also other empty ones on my system.

not sure what is wrong there. did you select a directory for storing
ripped tracks in the config of xcdroast?
Yes - the biggest empty spaces I had. But now it does not seem to be a 
problem.

It is also giving me the error message:
"You have selected an ATAPI device as your CD writer. This is not a
recommended setup - you will experience long delays within X-CD-Roast
and bad writing performance.  See the FAQ on how to install
scsi-emulation for best results"
OOps .. sounds like more work.

I'm using the 2.6.* kernel ... 'modprobe ide-cd' ?
if you are using a 2.6 kernel the module is now named ide-cd. xcdroast
seems to complain if you are using this interface but it makes no
difference as far as i've found.
