Hi
Im new to the world of linux, i recently installed ubuntu 8.04. i tried to burn a cd but it didnt work so i dowloaded couple of other software same result. all it does is burn the image on to my hard disk and doesnt allow to burn the cd.

what program are you using to burn with?

[razzle82]

i tried it with brasco, gnome cd/dvd burner and another one i can't remember the name. so far i have the same result with all of them.

What do you mean by "it didn't let me"? Do you see any errors, and if so, what are they?

[razzle82]

so i typed that command and this it what it gave me. i don't think the Cd rom is mounted

faraz@faraz-desktop:~$ vi/etc/fstab
bash: vi/etc/fstab: No such file or directory
faraz@faraz-desktop:~$

Razzle: I use k3b it is very much like Nero in many ways. Here is a guide on installing it and configuring it to burn MP3 to CDA withouth any conversion process.

Razzle - Put a space between 'vi' and '/etc/fstab'. vi is the editor, /etc/fstab is the file you're trying to edit.

from the looks of i think it is mounted properly, so what am i doing wrong

Are you getting any error messages?

[razzle82]

No CD/DVD writer found.
K3b did not find an optical writing device in your system. Thus, you will not be able to burn CDs or DVDs. However, you can still use other K3b features like audio track extraction or audio transcoding or ISO9660 image creation

thats the error message i got

Just wondering is your cdrom capable of burning?
