[Bug 1203559] Re: wodim doesn't find my DVD writer

[Marco Kern]

Hey everybody,

Research took me to 2 promising end - 1 of which was you guys over here
and the other one the probably well known README.ATAPI stuff. after
shortly reading into README.ATAPI i was quite shure that it could not
handle my actual problem simply due to its release date and the fact,
that in newer articles about cdrkit and wodim it didnt get mentioned
anymore (also my brasero was never out of order by any means - i was
always able to use that prog to its full functionality, just when i
started to get inetrested in burning via terminal i even realized sth is
probably not 100% in place). I still read through most of it, just for
the sake of knowledge.(without learning that much sadly i am pretty new
to the world of linux). Since i was anyway about to format and resetup
my notebook, i wanted to give 1 thing a shot.

i created a softlink /etc/cdrw ->  /etc/sr0 (my actual disk drive) after realizing that /etc/cdrom exactly such a link.
in /etc/wodim.conf i changed the value of CDR_DEVICE from cdrom to cdrw and i set cdrw=/dev/sr0.
That worked out perfectly wodim finally did his duties.

i am very sorry in case i am not telling anybody anything usefull, i was
not sure whether to post at all, since my brasero and file manager never
occured to have a problem, also the topic is not the latest. My wodim
situation however was 100% identical to what you explained.
