Hello All


What did this comand Do "cdrecord blank=all dev-1,0,0" after I typed it in I got a long winded responce form the Termional. That responce is pasted below:

looks like you need to do "sudo" in front of the command. Permission was denied to raise the mem limits, usually because you need to be super user, IE 'sudo cdrecord blank=all dev-1,0,0' and add password. Should work then. I assume you're blanking the disk or trying to record to it?

Hello Chkneater

Yes I am trying to make a ubuntu start up disk. I keep getting a the "wright to disk " box withthe message " Please replace the disk witha supported CD or DVD". A saw the command "cdrecord blank=all dev-1,0,0" on another fourm. Will it help if I go back and use sudo?

If you're making an Ubuntu install disk then you need to have a DVD drive and disk. From what I see it looks like you have a CD drive, am I correct?

Hello Chkneater


When I open the disc drawer on the right printed is "DVD" and below that is "ROM". On the right printed is "Compact DISC Rewriteable, and Ultra Speed". I have to guess that means the disc drive at least can read a DVD.

When I try to write to the disk I get the "Write To Disk" box with a message "Please replace the disk with a supported CD or DVD."

I have been think it may be a read only disk drive. I thought I could write to a disk but with all the problems I have been having I am unsure of every thing.

I have not used this computer much at all. That is why I am so unsure of its disk drive.

that drive reads/writes cd's but only reads dvd's

gordon@gordon-desktop:~$ sudo cdrecord blank=all dev-1,0,0
[...]
wodim: No such file or directory. Cannot open 'dev-1,0,0'.

I cannot test this as I do not use the debian fork wodim but you have made a typo with your command, try:

sudo cdrecord blank=all dev=1,0,0

Mind you this command will only blank the disk before writing and looks like you need to address the cd vs dvd issue as well...

Hello Mc4man and Andrew46

Thank you that explains the message when I put in the DVD. I will skip the command "sudo cdrecord blank=all dev=1,0,0" until I get a CD with the capabilities to make a ubuntu start up disc.

You could probably fit current iso's on 90 min cd's (800Mb) but keep in mind that not all drives support such media. Does your setup support usb boot?
