Update:so I can burn DVD+Rs fine. I burned Fedora 14 originally on this machine (in F13), although I'll have to check to see what kind of disks I was using.
Here is my posting from unix.stackexchange.com:
I have been trying to burn a few ISOs lately with no success and have certainly used this hardware in the past, so I am not sure what's going on. I am using DVD-R media (tried multiple discs) which appears to be supported by my drive. Here is the error I received in GnomeBaker on Fedora 14 (64):
Code:
Executing 'builtin_dd if=/home/tja/Downloads/Torrents/bodhi_0.1.6.iso of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0'
:-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=2h/CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT]: Wrong medium type
/dev/sr0: "Current Write Speed" is 1.0x1352KBps.
I am looking for a video converter that will convert AVI into DVD format to burn a disc. I had a program called convert X for windows 7 and with that I was able to make menu's for the DVD and when it finished converting, it would burn it to a disc.
I have Red Hat Enterprise 5 and am trying to resize a partition. I am using the resize command within "parted" and am getting the following error - Error: File system has an incompatible feature enabled.
my school we want to print a magazine but we have problem with the format of the files. We need to create a sheet in A3 format from two sheets in A4 format. I was reading about the pdftk library but it doesn't do what i need.
I have some .mp4 files. While open this file using vlc-player the resolution is fine. Then I convert this .mp4 format to .avi format using "ffmpeg". While open the .avi file using vlc-player the resolution is not fine.
I just installed KOffice, and all components listed with it under Office-Suite, using YaST's Add/Remove Software and I receive this error whenever I try running KWord The plugin 'kwordpart' uses an incompatible kde library (4.71 (4.71)).
KWord then does not run. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
By default, ubuntu is using an incompatible resolution for my monitor. It happens while booting and logging in. It is due to it using a Hz setting to high for the monitor.What can I do to fix this?
I am running lucid with Thunderbird 3.1.5 (32 bit) and trying to install Lightning 1.0b2. Whenever, I install Lightning, I cannot restart TB, if I drop it. No error message. I have to start TB from the Terminal with "thunderbird -safe-mode", remove Lightning, and then everything works. I read of others having problems with TB and Lightning, but most of these are 64 bit. I am 32 bit. Please note that I have removed all other extensions from TB, but I still can't run Lightning.
One concern I have is that even though Synaptic says that TB 3.1.5 is install, the Help>About says just TB 3.1. It doesn't include the ".5". I am concerned that despite what Synaptic says, I might not have version 3.1.5 installed. Is there any way to check if I really have version 3.1.5 installed? I tried to install the latest nightly build of Lightning, but I got the error message "Lightning 1.0b3pre could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.6.10". how to get Lightning to run with Thunderbird?
I've tried a whole bunch of thigns but things keep crashing and i dunno what to do, I'm using FC14 really i just wanna do it all from the terminal but i dunno what commands or yum installs to use ive been trying for a couple days.I have .avi and i wanna burn them to play on a dvd player.
On Opensuse 11.4 64bit, on a Dell E6410 notebook. Installed the 32bit dependencies from SDB: Skype (SDB:Skype - openSUSE ) i.e. su -c 'zypper install libasound2-32bit xorg-x11-libXv-32bit xorg-x11-libs-32bit libqt4-x11-32bit libpng12-0-32bit' Then installed the latest version (2.2.0.25 from Skype website for openSuse 11+
And when launching skype in a terminal window I get "Fatal: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40702) with this library (version 0x40701) Aborted" And this corresponds tot requireing an older QT library for Skype than is the current version from openSuse 11.4 How do I fix this?? I've already pursued all other solutions I could find.
After upgrading KDE from 4.6.0 to 4.6.3 SpiderOak will fail to run with message. Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40703) with this library (version 0x40701). There's no more SO package in Non-OSS, apparently due to some support issues. That's a pity, since Dropbox had conceded access to US agencies, IMO SpiderOak is a really good option, and has been working very nicely until now. Anyway, Yast tells me that KDE 4.6.0 uses Qt 4.7.1, while 4.6.3 brings in Qt 4.7.3. A possible solution may be found here, originally for Qt 4.7.2. I'll try it and report.
I'm trying to install compiz with a completely new install of slackware64-13.37. I had been using gsb gnome2 and compiz 0.8.6 under slackware64-13.1. I installed gsb gnome3 and, to my chagrin, found out that it is incompatible with compiz. I'm afraid I'm not "LEET" enough to install the old gnome (gnome2) pkg by pkg. Which version of compiz did you successfully install and in which desktop?
i have a file that i'm trying to burn and for some reason when the burn process completes i get the following error message: Error while burning.You do not have the required permissions to use this drive.i'm not sure why this is happening- is there something i have to set/enable to be able to use my DVD drive? i am using brasero to burn my dvd, and it appears that the failure occurs during the verification process.
Both my cd/dvd drives work fine out of xp so they're connected properly.
I tried to use Brasero to burn an iso to a cd; Brasero responds with the message "Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD." But my Sony and Maxell discs should be supported, so what could be causing this message?
Is the bash command cdrecord an alternative to Bresaro? If so then what is the command syntax to burn file.iso to a cd in a cd/dvd drive?
So, I've been using Brasero to burn cds with no problems, but when I try to burn a DVD video, it starts converting the file mpeg-2 then just hangs about half way through. I tried it like 5 times and then moved on to Bombona, which I heard was great. When I start the burn process for a DVD video with Bombono, it just says "DVD-video building broken ffmpeg failure." its driving me nuts, this shouldnt be so complicated. I havent run into others with this problem, so Im assuming Ive just missed something obvoius.
I seem to be having trouble getting the Fedora Live CD onto CD. I have the iso, downloaded as a torrent.
I used: wodim -v -dev=1,0,0 -data /home/pedroski/Downloads/Fedora-15-i686-Live-Desktop/Fedora-15-i686-Live-Desktop.iso
I get no errors; ....a lot of blurb ....then Performing OPC... Starting new track at sector: 0 Track 01: 565 of 565 MB written (fifo 100%) [buf 100%] 24.0x.

I have been having trouble installing a working Debian 6.0.1a (Squeeze) desktop; I cannot seem to get Xwindoes working (under KDE). Is it possible that my video monitor is simply incompatible with Squeeze? I am using an old but not ancient Samsung SyncMaster 997DF with PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Output of lspci -nn | grep VGA is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter [1039:6330]
When I compared the contents of /usr/lib/xorg/modules and output of kdm.log between my working (but no longer trusted) Lenny and my nonworking Squeeze, I found that the driver sis_drv.so seems to be loaded by my Lenny but not by my Squeeze, and someone said that Squeeze uses a new version of Xorg which is incompatible with SIS. If so, does that mean that I need to get a new monitor? A new motherboard with video controller? I never had a video card--- do I need one to use Squeeze with KDE?....
I installed Ubuntu 5 days ago....looked great....seemed to offer everything I want. Then I clicked on the firefox icon and it brought up Google ...Great!....Then I said ..this is easy..I'll have a look at my share-trading dynamic platform. Searched for Commsec and clicked 'launch Webiress'...and then it hiccupped! I got a message saying I needed Java "Now downloading".....Okay I've had this happen in windows...no problemo.. Then I tried to follow the instructions contained on the download page from Java....thats what started my five days (30 hours now and counting) of misery.
Finally on one of the hundreds of Ubuntu pages I've read I found that there is a bug in java....that prevents it from working with the Firefox that Ubuntu provides. So I cleverly removed firefox ....and went to Mozilla and downloaded a new version 3.6 of Firefox.....followed the instructions at Sourceforge.net (and other places I can't remember). Now I have Firefox in a folder in 'Documents' with libjavaplugin_oji.so linked to ///java/jre.6.0_21/plugin/i386/ns7... But when I try to fire up Webiress I still get the messsage "Java not installed ...now downloading".
I am desperately in love with Linux and love writing Java programs on it and compiling them at the terminal. I love the terminal and practically everything about Linux. But I simply cannot boot into the newest kernel with my new laptop. Do you think the next Ubuntu release will address the current problem of my not being able to use the newest Linux kernel? This is a fundamental problem and cannot be worked around. I have to use an earlier version of the operating system that will eventually not be supported. What's funny is this: my 5+ year-old Toshiba Satellite laptop works wonderfully with Linux and can even connect to my mom's wireless network "out of the box."
I guess it's hard to keep up with all the different hardware configurations on the market, and I can understand that you can't expect every computer to work with Linux. I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. i am not using any custom-build PC. I think the problem is just that my laptop is too new and Linux developers haven't had time to catch up with the hardware manufacturers.
The computer went into low graphics mode all by itself and then later threw a error that said incompatible processor system halted!the computer was getting really slow and made alot of noise.later the computer did something stranger..it restarted but normally when my computer normally restarts it bypasses the password page setup in bios of the computer. This time I still had to enter a password before it could reboot.Another thing...when it the ethernet cable was connected to the computer (internet connection was on) it was slow when it was unplugged it was not.I have read that unless you're running a server or something it is highly unlikeley you'll be hacked.

Is this a cause for conflicts between gcc 3 and gcc 4. If so how do i rectify the same? I have compat-ltdc++ installed. Similar errors are sure to follow during the compilation process.
I have a clean Linux box on which I want to install Fedora 10.I downloaded the 3.6GB ISO file (Fedora-10-i386-DVD) onto my Windows Vista machine, and then installed ISO Recorder, with which I burned the image to a DVD.I was surprised that the image took only about 10 minutes to burn, maybe less.When I then tried to install Fedora 10 on the Linux box from the DVD, after a minute of checking devices and such, it says "Error loading operating system." It goes no further.I'm thinking that the technique I used to burn ISO into the DVD was insufficient. I followed the instructions I found in the ISO readme for burning with the ISO Recorder V2 Power Toy:Obtain and install the ISO Recorder power toy from the
1. In the file manager Explorer, right click on the first Fedora ISO file.2. In the context menu, select Copy image to CD.3. Follow the steps given by the CD Recording Wizard pop-up.4. Repeat for the remaining ISO files.Actually, the ISO Recorder I downloaded said nothing about being a "power toy"--it was ISO Recorder V3.1 - for Windows Vista/Windows 7. But the wizard gave no choice of specifying which in the ISO were boot code vs. package code. It was basically a one-click burn. I just selected Image File (Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso) and clicked Next. I expected there would be a step for specifying something about boot code. Or, when you install Fedora from
Is there an easy way to burn mp3 on Fedora ? Brasero doesn`t want to and I haven`t found the relevant plugin, and I can`t install Kb3 the Add/Remove even with RPM fusion.
