After copying one CD, I find cdrecord losing it's permission to write to the blank for a second, new CD. Any thoughts why this is happening? Info is in the debugging output below. I was running Fluxbox after a reboot.
FWIW I have difficulties as well getting the Plextor drive to be recognized under Gnome, with it winding up spitting out "not ready" messages on every terminal screen following attempts to use K3B or any other CD software. I've had to reboot to reset things. Is this a hald issue perhaps? TIA for any help!
