&k3b; is a CD and DVD burning application for Linux systems
|
|
optimized for &tde;. It provides a comfortable user interface
|
|
to perform most CD/DVD burning tasks like creating an Audio CD
|
|
from a set of audio files or copying a CD.
|
|
While the experienced user can take influence in all steps
|
|
of the burning process, the beginner may find comfort
|
|
in the automatic settings and the reasonable &k3b; defaults
|
|
which allow a quick start. The actual burning in K3b is done
|
|
by the command line utilities
|
|
<application>cdrecord</application>,
|
|
<application>cdrdao</application>, and
|
|
<application>growisofs</application>.

<para>When you run &k3b; for the first time, you may find &k3b; informing you
|
|
that no optical writer drivers have been found, meaning you will not be able to
|
|
write to any optical discs. There is no need to panic as &k3b; will open a
|
|
configuration window which will help you get various tools used by &k3b; up and
|
|
running. This includes viewing the user group that owns those applications. You
|
|
should not need to change this as &k3b; will apply the correct permissions on external
|
|
programs itself. These programs are generally <command>cdrecord</command>,
|
|
<command>growisofs</command> and <command>cdrdao</command>. If preferred, one can
|
|
tell &k3b; to use the <guilabel>burning</guilabel> user group and point it to the
|
|
optical drive. Below is an image of the configuration window where these settings
|
|
are possible.
