[»] Segmentation fault on startup
by John - Jun 14th 2006 15:19:46

Hello...

On startup - without any other indication - I received the dreaded "Segmentation Fault"

Inserting a few lines in the code here and there, I found that the error is produced in:

Project.py, line 42

gnome.tools = gnometools

Just to be sure, I reinstalled. Can´t find the cause though.

Any ideas?

[»] 2.2.0.0.8
by John - Mar 5th 2005 14:04:41

Hi all.
Roaster detects the writer and assigns /dev/scd1 0,1,0, though no scsi support is compiled into the 2.6.11 kernel. I see no detection of the 'new' 2.6.x atapi interface. (The ATAPI variable is set to TRUE in cdrtools.py). Is the ide_scsi interface still necessary?
I tried many combinations, but always get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/eroaster/Application.py", line 760, in BurnWriterOptions
self.BurnCDNow()
File "/usr/local/lib/eroaster/Application.py", line 829, in BurnCDNow
cdrecord = cdrtools.cdrecord(channel, id, lun, self.devWriter.get_text(), self.cat.get_loglevel())
File "/usr/local/lib/eroaster/cdrtools.py", line 124, in __init__
self.__cdrecord_read_version()
File "/usr/local/lib/eroaster/cdrtools.py", line 249, in __cdrecord_read_version
for i in range(len(version[1])):
IndexError: list index out of range

    hi,
    i met the same problem, and after i wrote my own fix, i found this page:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-rc@lists.debian.org/msg01386.html


    it is a bug in the version output of cdrecord.

[»] ide-scsi
by David Pace - Nov 11th 2004 21:34:58

I tried setting the device to ATA:1,1,0
but it insists on using /dev/sgX

I tried compiling in ide-scsi emulation in the kernel.

cdrecord accepts my commands. But eroaster won't use the correct device name. ugh.

eroaster even detects the channel,lun ... 1,1,0 correctly. But it won't send the correct device name to the cdrecord program.

[»] Problems & Threads
by orbitphreak - Oct 23rd 2003 00:01:04

I get the following whenever I run eroaster (I'm using the latest version).

10/22/03 23:56:38.589 WARNING main [Main] Couldn't find zinf
10/22/03 23:56:38.590 WARNING main [Main] Couldn't find normalize
10/22/03 23:56:38.597 WARNING main [Main] Couldn't find bchunk

Also, eroaster kept complaining about threads not enabled at compile time (yes, even after I compiled pygtk with the --enable-thread option). I was able to get eroaster to run by commenting out the threads initialization in the Application.py file.. Should I expect side effects?

    Basically you can ignore the warning at the beginning ... zinf is an option for mp3-playback (if you don't have xmms installed), normalize is optional as well (normalizes wav files before burning audio CDs) and bchunk is for converting bin/cue files to iso-files.

    The thread error is no good ... without a thread enabled version of pygtk you won't be able to burn a cd at all. the reason why it fails for you is difficult to tell at this point.

      eroaster is the Best! Ok, I was able to get eroaster compiled AND running flawlessly on RedHat 9.0. I fixed the "ptygtk threading disabled at compile time" error by: 1) installing python 2.2.3 from source: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-tread make make install NOTE: I instlalled it in /usr/local because I didn't want to remove my current copy of python. 2) installing pygtk 2.0.0 from source: ./configure --enable-thread make make install All works well and it's an amazing application. I think RH should include it in their distro. - orbitphreak

        I love eroaster better than any other Linux "burner" and used it extensively when I was running Mandrake 9.0. I recently switched to Red Hat 9 and am saddened that I'm having such a hard time installing it. I had the same problem as orbitphreak mentions here and followed his very clear directions to resolve it. (Thanks orbitphreak!) I'm no longer getting the above errors but now have this...

        Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/usr/local/bin/eroaster", line 125, in ?
        app = Application()
        File "/usr/local/lib/eroaster/main.py", line 254, in __init__
        touch(lockfile)
        File "/usr/local/lib/eroaster/tools.py", line 354, in touch
        file = open(filename, "w")
        IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.eroaster/.eroaster.lock'

        I'm no Linux guru. I'm just a guy who wants to use his beloved eroaster again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

          Hmmm strange that this is happening again ... just do "mkdir /root/.eroaster" and it should work again.

              Umm...Hi, me again..

              I'm trying to install eroaster on a friends RH 9 box and am running into different problems than above.

              When trying to configure eroaster-2.2.0-0.6, it complains...


              checking for gnome-python... failed: get it from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/latest/sources/


              When I try to make gnome-python-0.100 I get this...


              make[2]: *** [gnomeuimodule.o] Error 1
              make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ray/gnome-python-0.100/pygnome'
              make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
              make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ray/gnome-python-0.100/pygnome'
              make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

              I know this isn't a eroaster problem in itself but I would appreciate any help in solving this..

              Thank You.

                Hi Dan,

                can you contact me via email ? I guess it's easier than posting everything here.

    this is the 2.0.12 version ... it is pretty old and won't work with modern distributions (like RH8). Please use the latest version (currently 2.2.0-0.2)

    Found this on a search.

    I upgraded to gnome-python-2.0 which is gtk2.

    What eroaster wants is the gtk1.2 gnome-python-1.4.4. A bit of a mess . . .

    Might help...

eroaster is the only gui front end I've found that works perfectly every time and allows you to burn individual files. This program is clearly at the top of it's class for usability!

[»] Wow...
by WindozeSux - Dec 22nd 2000 00:49:43

I _highly_ recommend this program. I've tried a number of programs and approaches to burning audio CDs, and Eroaster is the only one that didn't leave me with a coaster on my hands. I haven't tried the data burning with it just yet, but if it's anywhere near as good as the audio burning, this app has it all. Very simple and easy to use, and it does a great job. I think this is the best roaster I've ever seen.

after having tried some other cd-writer-gui's i found eroaster and it's so easy to handle.
burning with eroaster is just fun!

    I would reccomend this program to anyone who has a SCSI cd-burner and wants a GUI. Incredibly easy interface. Only problem I encountered was that I don't have a SCSI cd-reader, so I can't do direct copying. Otherwise, I reccomend this program highly.

      Have you tried using SCSI emulation? I would think that would solve your problem. It is a good idea to use SCSI emulation for cdwriting anyway, because it allows cdwriting programs to have more fine-tuned control over the writing process.
