Nero dont see any recorders - Club CDFreaks

emde · 26-08-2005

I've checked permissions and turn-off scsi-emulation. Everything like in manual. But in 'choose recorder' window i have only image recorder.
I'm using latest kernel 2.6.11.12 and have LG GCE-8400 and LG GSA-4120.NeroLinux Trial 2.0.0.2.
Any suggestions? Please help

Have you the right to read and write to your recorder's device files ? (something like /dev/hda or else...). Is there no message that pops up when nero starts telling you that you have problem with your device ?

emde · 27-08-2005

Yes i have all rights in /dev. No messages, no pop ups. But one thing was strange. When I started nero, add files and try to burn cd (no other actions). Then nothing happens. No dialogs, no pop ups. In log only two messages "--- recording xx mb .. " and " ---- burn process finished ----" or something like that. With image recorder everything is ok (dialog with progressbar,etc.).

CAn you try to launch nero as root ? Maybe there is an hidden perms problems somewhere on your system. If it is running as root, then we can eliminate hardware/kernel problem...

It is launched as root and still the same problem. i'm using kernel 2.6.13, btw.

Which devices are your writers? Can you manually mount cd's on your system with these devices (does your system recognise them properly?)? Possibly they are on the same cable and set to master or slave?

Does `dmesg` show them on your system? My device is /dev/hdc, and when I do `dmesg | grep hdc` I get:

Code:

axllent@workstation ~ $ dmesg |grep hdc     
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb808-0xb80f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hdc: ASUS DRW-1604P, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2000kB Cache, UDMA(33)

Does yours produce something close to that?

I don't have any other problems with my writers. cdrecord, cdrecord.prodvd works fine. I can mount too.

My dmesg:
