Try SimpleBurn.

I think that it doesn't matter which burn program I try.
btw in simpleburn I can't burn iso.

On some pages, he writes with a read only. And on the other with write.

What's the line in your /etc/fstab regarding mounting optical disks? Sorry, I know you posted the file in another thread. That's what made me think the mount options might be wrong for this too.

Are you sure that your dvd burner is functioning correctly? Does it work under other distributions/operating systems? And are you sure you're using an empty cd/dvd?

@gapan
I don't know. I try only in live distro (slax)
cdr is clean but slax not see it.

Then I put this cdr in other host and burn salixlive-xfce.

Maybe my cd/dvd not burn?
I use google and sometimes say that it is burner sometimes no.

@mimosa
/etc/fstab with mounted cd with slax (I must use rightclick on cd on desktop and use mount it)
but on another host salix automount disc/pendrive)

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/fstab

fstab shouldn't matter here. It's neither used by filemanagers mounting pnp media through hal nor by burning applications, which need to directly access the device anyway.

It seems more likely that there's a problem with the device or it's just not capable of burning. That's what I would check.

[mimosa]

Would it be a workable alterative to put it on USB? This has several advantages, particularly persistent storage.

[gapan]

Doing a web search on the model, it comes out that it's just an optical drive reader. Not a recorder. It would be really strange if you managed to write anything with it.

An this is exactly what the lshw output shows in the first line, too
