[Bug 149076] Re: I can't write a cd

Also FWIW, I've been speaking with the maintainer of libburnia and
xfburn, and he says libburn and cdrskin are replacements for wodim and
cdrecord and are built on a fresh codebase.  He wrote: "Cdrskin can
replace cdrecord (even for k3b, just make a symlink from cdrecord ->
cdrskin) [or really from wodim to cdrskin]. If it isn't a hardware
error, it really should work as it's a fresh codebase.  You can grab
libburn tarball (which includes cdrskin) from http://libburnia-
project.org "

I also notice the Ubuntu repos have the older version 0.4.2-1 of libburn
and cdrskin.

My method above for replacing wodim with cdrecord seemed to work, but I
am still unable to burn.  After trying an old installation of feisty
that I know used to burn ok, I'm convinced I have a bad drive.  Yet for
some reason I'm getting the same errors as reported in this bug - the
error reporting seems very non-informative.

I'm interested to know anyone's results with libburn.  Also, the
maintainer said he is willing to help people with any problems.
