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.
Phone has internet, house does not. Shocking I know but most people are paying for 2 internet connections, phone and house, while at the moment I’m only paying for one (phone) until I get a router and figure out this whole openwrt business. I’m just being lazy on it.
I can hotspot but I’m severely limited (like 5gb iirc, dogshit) and am only using that for emergencies atm, which installing k3b would count except I am already at a friends house and have it installed, so I could just do that instead. But now I’m drinking beer, and when I get home I’ll probably eat, sleep, wake up and go to work, and then try out k3b. Or I’ll try it tonight when I get home, but probably not lol. C’est la vie!
Yes, I guessed. I was just being flippant. Enjoy the buddy times. Make sure you share one of your beers for the free internet they are paying for.
I definitely recommend trouble shooting and trying when you get home. Slightly buzzed always goes well for me. Or, I completely miss something blaringly obvious, like plugging something in. One or the other.
If youre driving to work, I’d say it does count as an emergency! But I’m glad you could conserve your data.
Me too! Lol. He’s actually not paying for it either, his brother is, but I did nonetheless lol, thanks dad (or mom or gender neutral parental unit, whatever sarcastic parent you identify with, I’m inclusive.)
It’s definitely plugged in, it works with CLI cdrecord. I just would like to find a GUI to match.
Naw I’ll be working tomorrow before working on my computer stuff I mean. Drinking now, no working!
