oh! I'm more of a debian guy than a fedora guy which is why this is a bit out of my depth, but /dev/sr1 is just the equivalent of the E:// drive (that is, for whatever reason, you OS mounted it as a new disk). Perhaps this means it burned successfully?
Unfortunately, yeah, not all documentation can cover the entirety of Linux design from the bottom up and back in this era, Linux was used almost exclusively by academics at universities. As such, the documentation was never written for a general user. It has come a very long way since then, but back when cd roms were common, it was a thousand times worse. Also, YouTube didnt work on Linux at all, so you had to be really committed to fuck around with it.
Yeah I was able to burn a few successfully but not with brasero, found a reddit post where someone was just using cdrecord and I've now wrote a script to just call
cdburner
(my script) and just burn all the files in the directory to a disk.Now I just need to figure out how to take the output of
cdrecord -checkdisk
which givesAnd take the
Detected CD-ROM Drive: /dev/sr1
part, or rather just the/dev/sr1
part of that in particular, and use that as a variable called $cdrom or something, and pipe that back intocdrecord -v speed=8 dev=$cdrom -audio -pad -nofix *.cdr
that does the burning. At the moment I have to edit the /dev/sd[X] part of the script before I call it.
