<div><div style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hi, pluggers!&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#39;m very very new at this, and I&#39;m having a ball getting my feet wet with linux.&nbsp; I&#39;ve already solved quite a few of my own questions with a little research, but I&#39;m not sure this is gonna be an every day kinda question.&nbsp; Here goes. . . .&nbsp; I&#39;ve been having no luck at all burning an audio cd&nbsp; (any kind of CD, really)&nbsp; with the linux system.&nbsp; I don&#39;t think that it is any problem with any of the cd writing tools I&#39;m using (I&#39;ve tried several)&nbsp; 
</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Like what?&nbsp; Are you using command line tools or GUI based?&nbsp; Which ones and what result are you getting?&nbsp; Errors, CDs that don&#39;t work? program exits for no apparent reason?<br>&nbsp;</div><br>

</div></div></blockquote><div><br>As several others have said, this is not unusual and is probably not the issue.&nbsp; Others have given you information about how to look at what your system thinks they are but the question you asked is really about how to successfully write a CD.&nbsp; My suspicion is that you are not using K3b (the default gui tool in KDE), or the gnome equivalent because there you don&#39;t really care where/how it is attached.&nbsp; My suggestion would be to make life easy on yourself and use one of them.&nbsp; Personally, I use K3b even in gnome as it seems the better front end.&nbsp; Speaking of that, in K3b when you finish a CD Write (successful or not) there is a button you can click to see the debugging output where you might actually see a reason for the failure.
