STEP 4: Running SurfBURNER
Assuming everything has installed correctly, you should now be able to run the SurfBURNER software. To be
able to write with the SurfBURNER software you will need to run the application as root. Otherwise, the entire
program group directory permissions for the recording application will need to be changed. This can be done using
the following commands:
mycomputer#
chown <user>:<group> /opt/PDSIdvdrw/bin/cdwriter
mycomputer#
chmod 4711 /opt/PDSIdvdrw/bin/cdwriter
Turn off any volume manager software.
You must do this in order to burn disks
.
On Solaris (pre-Solaris 10 06/06), this can be done by running this command:
mycomputer#
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
When you are done recording, turn it back on with:
mycomputer#
/etc/init.d/volmgt start
NOTE:
Solaris 10 6/06 and up no longer utilizes the volmgt init.d script for starting and stopping the volume
manager. You must use the svcadm command to disable the service.
All Solaris 10 6/06 and greater
users must do
the following:
mycomputer#
svcadm disable svc:/system/filesystem/volfs:default
The service can be re-enabled any time by using the same command above, except replacing disable with enable.
To start SurfBurner by typing the following:
mycomputer#
/opt/PDSIdvdrw/bin/surfburner
This will launch SurfBurner and allow you to start making disk compilations using the software. Please note the
following however:
To manually mount the CD or DVD disc on Solaris after writing refer to “STEP 9: Manually Mounting the DVD-
RW” or restart the Volume Manager and change directories to the /cdrom/cdrom0 folder to view the contents of the
CD or DVD just created.
Before writing, ensure the recording device is found under the "Recorder" tab as shown in Figure 6. If you do not
see any devices listed, you probably have volume management turned on or you may need to be root.
