party system tools, like automounter utilities or new hardware detection
daemons, can cause side effects when using NeroLINUX. As you have no way
under Linux to lock a disc drive, these utilities can send commands to a drive
when NeroLINUX is burning. In that case it can make your recording process fail.
Before using NeroLINUX, you must make sure that no other application is
accessing the drive you plan to use for recording.
In this chapter, we give you a list of applications that can cause problems. Please
pay attention that there might be some other utilities interfering with NeroLINUX:
it is impossible to list all applications that bring errors!
2.3.1 SuSE Plugger / SuSE Watcher
This utility is shipped with SuSE Linux distributions. It automatically detects if new
medium are inserted in a drive. If it is the case, it launches a specific utility,
depending on the media type.
This utility can cause error during burn processes, especially when burning in
Track-At-Once mode. So make sure that it is not configured to use your recorder.
To do this, please check the SuSE Plugger documentation.
Note that you can easily disable these utilities. To do this, right-click on their
icons and select ‘Quit’. Those icons are located just beside the clock, on the right-
hand side of the KDE panel.
2.3.2 GNOME CD Player Applet
As this applet is polling the drive it is connected to every second to see if it
contains a playable disc, you should make sure that it is not configured to use
your recorder.
To do this, right-click on the applet and select the ‘Preferences’ item and make
sure that the ‘Device path’ is not the device path of your recorder.
