[Sheflug] CD-Recorder Configuration

[Richard <nospam [at] sheflug.co.uk>]

Dear All

Still haven't quite worked out how to get my CD-Writer to work yet..

The CD writer is now visible to the system.  So is my Creative CD
player/reader.  If I try to mount CDs into them I find that I get a
warning message that says that the drives are write protected. They
will mount read only.  How do I change that ?  /etc/fstab below.....

/dev/hda3	/	reiserfs	defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1	/boot	ext2	defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb	/cdrom	auto	noauto,user 0 0
devpts	/dev/pts	devpts	defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0	/floppy	auto	noauto,user 0 0
proc	/proc	proc	defaults 0 0
/dev/hda4	/usr	reiserfs	defaults 1 2
/dev/hda2	swap	swap	defaults 0 2
/dev/hdc	/cdrw	auto	noauto,user 0 0

To get this far I've put 'hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi' into the top of
/etc/lilo.conf.  In /etc/modules.conf I've changed 'alias
scsi_hostadapter off' to 'alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi'.  And in
/sbin/init.d/boot.local I've put the line '/sbin/modprobe/ ide-scsi'.

Then I did 'ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom' and 'ln -sf /dev/scd1
/dev/cdrom1'

The CDrom is the primary slave and is /dev/hdb and the CD Writer is
the secondary master and is /dev/hdc.

I find that neither drive will play music CDs with the CD player.

What am I doing wrong here ?  How do I change things so that the CD
player will play music and how do I make the error message go away
when I try to mount CDs to install software or make a CD in the
recorder ?

Other thing is that when I do 'xcdroast' as root to set up xcdroast I
find that I get an error message which says..

"Xlib: connection to "0:0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorised to connect to server

Gtk warning **: cannot open display: :0"

So, where have I gone wrong ??

Thanks



Richard
