Then I yanked a cd burner out of another computer here and tried to get it working. I have xcdroast installed. When I try and run it, it won't even come up.
I have k3b installed. When I try and run it, it says it can't find cdrecord even though I have installed cdrecord. The text of the error message is: "Unable to find cdrecord executable
K3b uses cdrecord to actually write cds. Without cdrecord K3b won't be able to properly initialize the writing devices.
Solution: Install the cdrtools package which contains cdrecord."
Apt-get install does not know of any package called cdrtools.
I have Arson installed. It will come up with no error messages, but when I go into its setup menu, the drop down where you select the cd writer is blank.
My guess is that I just don't have the cd set up correctly at a basic level.
I believe I have scsi emulation set up.
Here are some bits of various files that tell the story I think:

============
I checked to see if cdrecord was even installed and got this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ken# cdrecord cdrecord.mmap: No tracks specified. Need at least one. Usage: cdrecord.mmap [options] track1...trackn
Use cdrecord.mmap -help to get a list of valid options.
Use cdrecord.mmap blank=help to get a list of valid blanking options.
Use cdrecord.mmap dev=b,t,l driveropts=help -checkdrive to get a list of drive specific options.
Use cdrecord.mmap dev=help to get a list of possible SCSI transport specifiers. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ken# [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ken#
On the other hand, when I do it non root, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrecord: /usr/bin/cdrecord: Permission denied
k3b produced the same error whether I log on as an ordinary user or as root.
I hope someone can help, please?
So, that is as much as I know to include here for infomation. I have lost my way in this stuff. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Ken
