I just bought an HP DVD Writer 1040r (as identified by k3b), an external USB-connected CD/DVD burner. The drive gets assigned /dev/scd0. I can burn CDs and DVDs, read from CDs and DVDs, boot from DVDs (and, I assume, CDs) but have been unable to use the lightscribe software to label a disk. I have lightscribe-1.18.11.1-0 and lightscribeApplications-1.18.6.1-0 installed, can run the GUI at

OK, it seems that the kernel I have (stock CentOS 4.7: 2.6.9-78.0.22.EL i686) seems to gronk the nVideo SATA controller in AHCI mode. It is NOT able to deal with the SATA DVD Burner I have. It is a "Sony Optiarc DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model AD-7241S-0B LightScribe Support". Is there some special magic I need to do? Here is the relevant bit from the boot up (SATA ports

Having gotten the latest CVS to build, I'm trying to get IE working again (yeah, yeah, I know...) I can get it to load, but then it doesn't seem to be able to make any network connections. I can't browse anything. It doesn't matter whether I use ip addresses or dns names. This was working on previous versions, but I can't quite figure out what changes broke this. Any help or

Help!! I have tried just about every combination but cannot get my cd-rom to be seen to a Windows app. The app requires its CD to be present but gives message "There is no CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. Please insert the CD-ROM and click Retry or Cancel" when I try to start it. The CD is there and I installed the app from it successfully. I have tried mounting the CD manually (and killing

I'm planning to remove Windows completely, but before I exercise this option, I want to be sure that I can install/run my needed programs under Linux using Wine. Granted I've been with Windows since the beginning, but after my experience with Vista, I have had enough. So, currently I have a dual boot setup for the moment, using Ubuntu 11.x/ Vista Ultimate (64bit). I have three hard disks,

I am trying to use kickstart for automated builds from a DVD. Some of the machines have DVD's drives and some have CDRom drives only. With the CDRom only machines I would like to plug in an external DVD drive via USB and use this to kickstart. The DVD only machines work correctly with a isolinux.cfg as label test kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192

Hi folks, I'm presently having my second foray into Wine. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on a machine with 3GB memory. I'm having problems installing Dragon NaturallySpeaking 7 and would welcome some guidance. When I run "wine /media/cdrom1/autorun.exe" the install looks promising for a few moments, then an error message saying: "Your computer does not meet the minimum

After my laptop corrupting dvd after dvd, I decided to plug in the dvd drive from my other PC, which broke down 2 months ago. I connected it through a USB SATA interface and since it?s the second drive, it?s under "/media/cdrom1/" now. However, Wine doesn?t detect the drive when I choose "Auto Detect", nor does it allow me to add an actual drive name when adding a new drive.

Hi I am having problems labelling a lightscribe disc in a Lacie USB2.0 interface CD/DVDW. I am running CENTOS 5.0 I can read and write cds and DVDs including DLs without any problems. Both xcdroast and k3b detect the unit as TSSTcorp-CD/DVDW SH-S162L Lacie's 4L software unfortunately doesn't detect any unit with either the gui interface or the cli interface. I loaded Lacie's

I'm not sure this would even work well in Windows. CDs make poor

Ohh, hmm. I'll try it at work if I get some time and see what happens. I have a Samba benchmark I can run against one of our unused servers, and I'll try to have 16 "users" access the same iso copied and mounted twice, just as you're doing. I might not get time to do this next week, so in the mean time, a good troubleshooting technique is to strip any as many smb.conf

I am new to Wine and really struggling. I'm trying to get DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter running on my Kubuntu 5.04. My system is current. I have a 2.8Mhz machine with 1Gb memory and lots of space on my 160Gb hard drive. I have a Plextor DVD+-RW and an HP CD-RW. They are /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd respectively. Here is my /fstab file: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file

Ever since I upgraded from Samba 1.9.18 to 2.0.0, I've been having problems with applications started from a Samba share dying silently, or with an Illegal Instruction message, on NT 4.0 Workstation. Since the only configuration change has been the Samba upgrade, that would seem to be the orgin of the problem. Below is my smb.conf file, in case I have something configured (or not configured)

Some days ago I queried the list about getting LightScribe and AdobeReader to work on a 64-bit PCLOS-KDE system. By accident, I only replied to the one person who answered me, but I can report that the LightScribe problem is solved, and without the use of WINE. If anyone wants to know, please ask and I will post that solution. However. I don't believe that there is a simple solution to

I've installed Quickbooks 2006/07 with the following commands under Ubuntu 8.10 with Wine 1.1.4 1. Install IE 6 sudo apt-get install wine cabextract binfmt-support $ wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks $ winetricks ie6 vcrun6 fakeie6 2. Install Quickbooks 06/07 by loading the CD and typing wine Setup.exe in the appropriate directory.

Many people have discussed the problems with Rosetta Stone, in particular the failure to detect the cdrom with the "Language Pack". I am having the same problem, but none of the described solutions work for me. I think that my dosdevices are configured correctly: niemand at dell dosdevices $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 niemand users 10 2007-09-07 11:59 c: -> ../drive_c lrwxrwxrwx 1

Hi Samba List, I am finding a strange problem between a mount samba directory. Any clues why this is happening? The server side is WD MyBook World Edition II and the export directory is: /shares/internal/Music/ on the client site I am mounting the directory to /mnt/mybook-music the client is an ubuntu server $ uname -a Linux tsunami 2.6.24-22-generic #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 18:32:42 UTC 2008

I want to use a passwordless account on my windows box to connect to from my linux box. When I do a smbclient "" -L host -U name, smbclient always prints "Anonymous login successful" even though I supplied a username. If I supply a password on the command line instead, then I don't get the Anonymous login message. Neither way works since the account actually
