Description of problem: xcdroast fails to access cdrecord Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xcdroast-0.98a15-13.i386.rpm How reproducible: # xcdroast or $ xcdroast Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xcdroast 2. Run it at the command line 3. Actual results: $ xcdroast ** (xcdroast:9473): WARNING **: Failed to access cdrecord. Please check the permissions and ownership of /usr/bin/cdrecord (same result as root user) Expected results: xcdroast GUI Additional info: $ ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2007-05-03 10:21 /usr/bin/cdrecord -> wodim $ ls -l /usr/bin/wodim -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 389292 2007-04-23 03:01 /usr/bin/wodim
Well, it seems that at least some code modification releated to check_binaries() in src/init.c is required. Especially in src/init.c and src/io.c, xcdroast tries to check the existence of the binaries in what was in cdrecord by calling the binary with -version for example, and xcdroast expects that the output message (i.e. cdrecord -version, now wodim -version) follows the format what cdrecord returned.

you can get xcdroast working in fedora 7 by installing cdrecord from an older fc release. here's what I did: $ sudo mv /usr/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrecord.f7 $ sudo mv /usr/bin/dvdrecord /usr/bin/dvdrecord.f7 $ sudo mv /usr/bin/devdump /usr/bin/devdump.f7 $ sudo rpm -ivh --force cdrecord-2.01.01.0.a03-3.i386.rpm after that, you'll want to patch xcdroast in the gnome toolbar to start xcdroast with the -n option, since mkisofs has a conflict as well. --- /usr/share/applications/~xcdroast.desktop 2007-06-15 09:17:14.000000000 -0400 +++ /usr/share/applications/xcdroast.desktop 2007-06-15 09:17:28.000000000 -0400 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ Encoding=UTF-8 Name=CD Writer Type=Application -Exec=/usr/bin/xcdroast +Exec=/usr/bin/xcdroast -n Comment=CD creation tool Icon=/usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98/icons/xcdricon.png X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.12 after _that_ launching xcdroast from the applications seems to work.
