Hi
I am totally new at Linux so I can use any help available. I am trying to burn a music CD with K3b on Knoppix and it just is not happening. I have used the GUI and the root command to open K3b and everything is fine until I start burning. At this point it says the wodim can't open the cd Burner. HELP!!!
Here is the command line response:
