I have been using Mandrake for about a year. First I had 8.2, now 9.0. I have never been able to burn a CD. I have read all of the advice given here, and for some reason I have never been able to figure out what the problem is. I obviously am not a computer wiz!! I thought once I got Mandrake 9.0, I would be able to copy a CD, but . . . .

Today, I tried again with eroaster, and this is the message it gave.

Writing: Initial Padbock Start Block 0

scsidev: '0,0,0'

scsibus:0 target: 0 lun: 0

Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24

cdrecord: No such file or direcotry. Cannot open '/dev/sg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.

cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

mkisofs: Broken pipe. cannot fwrite 2048*1

In a terminal, as root, I wrote cdrecord -scanbus, and the results were:

I then tried to burn another CD, but I had the same result and message.

In the configuration menu, under KDE - Information - Devices - SCSI, it states:

In my /etc/fstab file, it is written:

Any help on getting this thing working would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the time and effort in helping.

I appreciate the help. In a terminal, I typed "which wine", and the answer was /usr/bin/wine. I then cheched the permissions. I made sure that the user and group (myself) had read and execute permissions. When I 'clicked' on the wine icon (while in the browser Konqueror) in the directory /usr/bin, it stated that it could not find the program wine. Is there another command I must give in a terminal window in order to execute the program, or is there another thing I must do?

Thanks,

I was able to put wine on my computer, but for some reason when I go to active it, /usr/bin/wine (or wine.bin), it says that it cannot find the program. Is there a command that I must give in a terminal to be able to then activate it?

Thanks again.

Kieth

I finally got it installed.

Thanks,

If those are Windows files, then I must have the wrong wine program. I will try and download another. I appreciate the advice.

Before writing for help, I did try to find them on rpmfind. No luck. They do not seem to be a part of wine, as it still asks for them.

Thanks,

Kieth

I am trying to put wine on my system, which is Mandrake 9. I am not able too, because it states that some files are missing: libgdi32.dll, libkernel32.dll, libntdll.so, and libuser32.dll. In what .rpm file would I be able to find these?

Thank you,

Kieth
