Hi All, Has anyone got a SATA DVD burner working under linux yet? From the brief googling around it is supposed to be supported but I'm having no luck with one I bought recently. Is there anything special I should be setting or should it "just work"?
I'm finding when I attempt to burn (I've tried a bunch of programs under ubuntu 8.10 which all seem to use wodim as their backend for burning) and also Nero all to no avail. The program will start attempting to burn to the burner and then it will just eventually timeout. I then get an error back saying that the burner is too slow and that the session has failed. After that the burner usually doesn't respond at all (even physically pressing the eject button does nothing) and it's pretty much dead until I cold boot the system. If I just use the burner as a cd/dvd reader it seems ok though. -- dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
