13 Hi Joseph,
14
15 Suppose /dev/dvd is the device in question do a
16
17 fuser /dev/dvd
18
19 to see, what is using the device.
20
21 Another source for that kind of error messages are
22 wrong permissions of the device, you (or better your
23 account) is missing a certain group membership (group
24 "cdrom", "cdrw" for example) or Xfburn exspects
25 /dev/dvd (or something else) and udev has generated
26 a more cryptic device name like /dev/sr0.
27
28 HTH!
29
30 Good luck!
31 Best regards,
32 Meino
