When I try to burn a data cd I get this error log:
Code:
cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 0 times full, min fill was 100%.
cdrecord: fifo had 64 puts and 0 gets.
cdrecord: OPC failed.

Any ideas anyone?

The method I used was in gnome, via the gui.

If I'm not providing enough information, please tell me what I can add to the post to help figure out why I have as yet been unable to burn cd's.

All right, I may be the only one reading this, but if someone else happens uppon it willing to help, perhaps this info will be further useful.

When I type in

All right, hope someone reads this that has some input on the issue.

Here is something else that I have done:
I added
Code:
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrw     iso9660        noauto,rw               0 0

to my /etc/fstab
Then I
Quote:
mkdir /mnt/cdrw


At one point I emerged graveman, so now I ran it so that I could burn a data cd.

I ran it, and it said
Quote:
/usr/bin/mkisofs: No such file or directory. Invalid node - (null)


Once again, I have also run the gui version of the cd burner and have been unsuccessful.

I do not know the command line option and would use it, but am still wondering why I can't get the gui to work.

...please help.

I think it may be these lines. If hdd is your 2nd cd drive, then it would be 0, 1, 0. With burncenter the only way it will work is if the device is set to ATAPI:0,0,0 for the first cd drive or ATAPI:0,1,0 for the 2nd. Try changing the device in the gui setup and if that doesn't help, post back.

Thanks so much for the response...

I think you may have hit the nail on the head: changing the device in the gui setting. In nooby terminology, how exactly do I do that? And what do I change it to from what?

It is my second drive (the first one is the cdrom), and I didn't get what a lot of the ATAPI stuff was that you commented on either. Sorry; I"m learning but ain't there yet... :wink:

There should be a configure or setup option in one of the menus of the gui. You want to change the dev option. Also, you can look in obvious places like home and /etc for a config file that can be changed. If all else fails you can unmerge and then emerge again and it should enter setup mode when you first start it but that is drastic.

It is slave on Secondary port, but what is the "0,1,1?" Is that how it should be in /etc/fstab? Is that what you mean?

...I'll look, but does anyone know specifically where this might be at in gnome?

0,1,1 is the device number for cdrecord:
cdrecord dev=ATA:0,1,1 ....

All right, still trying to understand this. I checked out a couple of sources that recomended running
Quote:
cdrecord -scanbus
, so I did, but that produced

I haven't the slightest clue what that means. Does anyone else? What am I missing? Have as yet been unable to find the settup for the gui, but I'll keep looking.

post also the used cdrecord command

ok, some points to start:
change cd blank manufacturer (compare the output of: cdrecord dev=ATA:1,1,0 -atip)
update firmware
change cable
change position of drive: alone, Master/Slave
try another drive if possible
try knoppix if burning is working
check log files for something like "hdd" and "lost interrupt"
search google for the error message
search in mailing.comp.cdwrite

post in mailing.comp.cdwrite:
- linux kernel version
- linux distribution
- excact cdrecord version
- burning as root
- post the used command
- post the complete output

Thanks for all the help, Piewie. I must say it is very encouraging to have someone in the know like yourself helping out those not quite in the loop yet.

But, I cheated: I think it was a cdrw and cd incompatability problem. I put in another cdrw that I had and it works fine now. All good... :wink:



Well, not totally, but it's a different problem, regarding xmms and the fact that now I can't play audio cd's like I was. I'm sure it is a reconfiguration issue because I changed out the hardware. Any idea how to fix THAT problem? :cry:

Edit: figured it out. Thanks!
