I’m having an issue trying to burn a music CD for use in my (very old, I know I know) car. I’m running FedoraKDE (40) and Brasero, a Liteon brand external optical DVDRW drive, CD-R (TDK brand), and a Framework 16.
The issue I’m having seems to be that the blank disks(maybe?) aren’t recognized automatically by Fedora, when I pop a full commercially released CD in it’ll play/rip, but with a blank disk nothing happens, and I don’t know where to “save” the “image” of this album I’m creating in Brasero to get it on the disk.
Someone on a random linux forum told some other guy to run cdrecord -checkdrive
which says my drive is at /dev/sr0 with a blank disk, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Do I choose sr0 as the place to save it? It says “something something overwrite” when I try which makes me wary, it seems it wants to overwrite “sr0” itself and either bork my drive or install, but maybe?
I’m positive it’s just something simple I’m missing, any help would be greatly appreciated and I can answer questions and run commands if needed (but I don’t actually have WIFI rn, so I’ll have to have the package for said command already.)
Thanks in advance.
Yeah I was able to burn a few successfully but not with brasero, found a reddit post where someone was just using cdrecord and I’ve now wrote a script to just call
cdburner
(my script) and just burn all the files in the directory to a disk.Now I just need to figure out how to take the output of
cdrecord -checkdisk
which givesAnd take the
Detected CD-ROM Drive: /dev/sr1
part, or rather just the/dev/sr1
part of that in particular, and use that as a variable called $cdrom or something, and pipe that back intocdrecord -v speed=8 dev=$cdrom -audio -pad -nofix *.cdr
that does the burning. At the moment I have to edit the /dev/sd[X] part of the script before I call it.
