Here's a little tip (and reminder for myself) if you ever need to burn an ISO image to CD from the command line:
$ cdrecord -v -eject speed=<speed> dev=<cdrom device> </path/to/iso>
Here's an example I used to burn the latest copy of Linux Mint Debian:
$ cdrecord -v -eject speed=48 dev=/dev/cdrom \
/home/prystasj/Downloads/linuxmint-12-gnome-cd-nocodecs-64bit.iso
No GUI needed!
Not always so. On Ubuntu 13.04, you may have trouble with wodim (the package which actually performs the burn) not detecting your drive, e.g.:
ReplyDeletewodim: No such file or directory.
Cannot open SCSI driver!
You can bypass this by calling wodim directly:
# wodim dev=/dev/cdrom -v -data myfile.iso
