Using the above command will spit a bunch of stuff out to the screen that you won't have to worry about, but will show burn progress indication as well. Obviously, look for any indication of errors during the burn. Most (if not all) of the CD burning applications available in Ubuntu use wodim on the back-end to burn the CD for you, so you're basically "going to the source" with the command. Be mindful that it doesn't necessarily check the validity of the image for you before burning it, though.</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 18/04/2009, <b class="gmail_sendername">MG</b> <<a href="mailto:m.s0128532@gmail.com">m.s0128532@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <br>Argggh it shows up on desktop and gives me the option to burn but is not recognisable by Gmount-iso<br>Pls help!!!!<br><br> </blockquote></div><br> -- <br>ubuntu-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a><br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
