So I just finished emerging k3b and I ran it as root, to avoid anything about permissions. So I go to burn a cd and it says "K3B did not find a suitable writer. "

Also this error comes up when ran in terminal
Code:

splash xlib # k3b: ERROR: (K3bDevice::Device) Unable to do inquiry.
k3b: ERROR: (K3bDevice::Device) Unable to do inquiry.
k3b: ERROR: (K3bDevice::Device) Unable to do inquiry.

I also got the error unable to do inquiry, but the dvdrom was recognized. and it burned whatever i tried. Try to use k3b as simple user and see if it recognizes the cdrom/dvdrom. It looks like your cdrom is not recognized. Also, when you try first time to use as simple user it will ask you to allow to run as root also. Do, whatever it asks you too.
Did you emerged dvdrtools,cdrdao, etc?

Post your /etc/fstab too

I need it to see the CDROM to burn cds? Eh, I unplugged it because I don't have a long enough IDE cable to plug them both in. It doesn't work at all and its just in there so there aren't any holes in the front of the computer. What to do?

fstab
Code:

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1               /boot           ext3            noatime         1 2
/dev/hda3               /               reiserfs        noatime         0 1
/dev/hda2               none            swap            sw              0 0
/dev/hdb1               /home/xlib/files/hd2    user,exec,uid=1000
0 0

/dev/uba1               /mnt/usb        auto            noauto,user     0 0
/dev/hdc                /mnt/cdrom      auto            noauto,user,ro  0 0
#/dev/fd0               /mnt/floppy     auto            noauto          0 0

Oh, and about that /dev/hdb1, can someone tell me how exactly how to put it to where it mounts on start up? That's why my friend told me to do and it doesn't work. :/ What do I need to fix.


While trying to emerge dvdrtools
Code:

splash xlib # emerge -va app-cdr/dvdrtools

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] app-cdr/cdrtools (is blocking app-cdr/dvdrtools-0.2.1)
[ebuild  N    ] app-cdr/dvdrtools-0.2.1  +encode 1,429 kB

Total size of downloads: 1,429 kB

!!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed
!!!        on the same system.


Running k3b as user, the only error I get is not having permission to do stuff. The write error still comes up.
I just plugged in the cdburner, does it mean I need to mount it? Like I installed it into my computer and then rebooted, thinking it may work. What do I to do check that it's mounted.

The burner has to see the cdrom. In your fstab i see that you have this line.
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user,ro 0 0

And when you boot your computer it mounts the cdrom.
You can remove from that line ro. It works without it.
Here is my line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0

BUT as i understand from you, you use an external cdrom, so you either plug it in when the computer boots and it will mount the cdrom (and the above line is enough), or if you plug it after the pc booted you will have to mount it as follows:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom (as root)

About the
/dev/hdb1 /home/xlib/files/hd2 user,exec,uid=1000

Why do you need it? just remove that line because it is completely wrong. First mistake it doesn't mention which file system is. 2nd mistake when you boot the pc it mounts all the filesystems including home directory, which is under / and is already reiserfs. So you can safely remove it or put # before that line.

You also need in your /etc/fstab the follwing lines:
Code:

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none                    /proc           proc            defaults        0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs           nodev,nosuid,noexec     0 0



About emerge you have to write as follows:
Code:
 emerge --unmerge cdrtools
emerge dvdrtools
 


because you have a blockage, you need first to unmerge cdrtools and then install dvdrtools.


if you want to specificy in which package it is you will have to do something like this:
Code:
 emerge =app-cdr/dvdrtools
Usually this is useful when you want to specify a specific version of program. like emerge =app-cdr/dvdrtools-0.2.1

But in your case there is no need for that.

Good luck, and if you have any more problems, don't hesitate to ask.

ya just last night I came home and after burning 25 dvd's of backup and like 5 or 6 wav cds's in the last month, today it is suddenly telling me that it doesn't have a burner and the burner field is completely blank. The first time I rebooted it let me burn one, now I've rebooted twice and it always tells me that. I guess this is what I get for buying a 60 dollar wal mart burner. WTF

I repeat, WTF? All I wanted was to burn 10 songs to my multisession cd that only had 2 songs on it. And now I can't burn any cd or dvd.
WTF?

At least I'm not running windows. Not being sarcastic. But still, this is a serious pain in the ASS. I get drunk what 3 times a year now? and my burner, softer, and os doesn't work on this one night? and there is no help in the forums? Figures. I guess that is just the way it goes. SUCK IT, ME :P
