SuSE Linux7.3: Xcdroast doesn't start

Support knowledgebase (mkrapp-7.3-xcdroast)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.3

Symptom

Xcdroast doesn't start.

Cause

Xcdroast expects an older cdrecord version as the installed one.

Solution

The safe way:

Update the xcdroast package using YOU (Yast Online Update) or download the package manually here:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/xap2/

and install it with YaST by hand.

The "quick'n dirty" way:

Edit with the KDE Menu editor the start options of xcdroast. The command line should look like:

kdesu "xcdroast -n"
Please note that the option "-n" only switches off the version check of xcdroast. The problem itself is not solved then. You're doing this on your own risk!
