hey David, the solution to your problem is to go to cdrecord's website and download the newest version of cdrecord. Lets say you download it to your Downloads folder. Unzip it, and in the terminal type (without quotes) "cd /home/david(you're user name I'm assuming)/Downloads/(the name of the cdr-tools folder, ex. cdrtools-2.01a) then type "sudo make", hit enter, it'll ask for your password, type it and hit enter. Then type "sudo make install". Now type these commands, enter after each line. This will move out of the way the useless wodim files previously on your computer, you can copy and paste these lines to your terminal. sudo mkdir /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/cdrecord /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/genisoimage /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/mkisofs /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/readom /opt/schily/replacedfiles sudo mv /usr/bin/wodim /opt/schily/replacedfiles next you'll link your new files to where k3b will look, hit enter after each line, you can copy and paste sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrecord sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/mkisofs /usr/bin/genisoimage sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/mkisofs /usr/bin/mkisofs sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/readcd /usr/bin/readom sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/wodim sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/readcd /usr/bin/readcd sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/mkhybrid /usr/bin/mkhybrid sudo ln -s /opt/schily/bin/cdda2wav /usr/bin/cdda2wav now install k3b and write in RAW mode. You'll be able to write cds now. The whole reason you had this problem was because Ubuntu does not come with an original version of cdrecord, but an inferior modified version. Please Ubuntu, in 10.04 please please please use the full original version of cdrecord.
