More problems with cdrecord

Hello all,

I cannot write CDs anymore.
The only thing i changed lately was an upgrade to cdrtools-2.01-r3 from r2 some days ago. Now nearly all attempts to burn an audio CD end with an error.
After some of the mistakes (using k3b) I searched the forum and found some postings on problems writing CDs as normal user.
So I tried the ck-sources (2.6.11_p10) as these were said to have a patch, no change. The last thing I tried was using cdrecord as root (both with the ck-sources and the gentoo-sources-2.6.11), but I still get errors like the following:

Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 45236016/45236016 (19233 sectors).
Track 02: Total bytes read/written: 57692208/57692208 (24529 sectors).

cdrecord: Cannot fixate disk.

I even tried different media types, all of them were used before without any problems (I think I lost only 2 CD-Rs in over 2 years) so I would say it is not any bad media.
What makes me wonder is that once I could finish writing a CD-R and once with an CD-RW (using k3b as user) the other ~8 tries were failures.

Any hints what could be the problems?

Thanks a lot

Could you try straight from the command line? Maybe k3b is sending the wrong settings. Assuming your burner is /dev/hdd then something like this should work:

Christian, if you have no luck with your cd burning problems, try to reemerge cdrecord, it solved my situation.
