# install cdrtools as a replacement of cdrkit
dpkg -i ./libscg1*.deb
dpkg -i ./cdda2wav*.deb
dpkg -i ./cdrecord*.deb
dpkg -i ./mkisofs*.deb
dpkg -i ./cdrtools*.deb
$ wodim --version

Another reason why the CD/DVD drive might not read the CD properly is because it's not compatible. My drive can read Memorex type of CD-Rs (650MB) and Fujifilm (700MB), DVDs (including Maxell DVD), but not Maxell CD-Rs (700MB). Maybe it has something to do with the speed the CD was written in (16, 24, 40, 48)?

$sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/wodim
$sudo k3b

Hello
I had this problem with k3b 1.91.0 on ubuntu 10.04.
I've had to purge and reinstall some packages:
hal libhal1 libhal-storage1 k3b wodim
(apt-get wants to remove many packages in addition to these, you have to reinstall all of them)

k3b always says cdrecord has no permission to open device and brasero knows theres a blank disc in but says it has 0 bites free
