Burn a CD in Ubuntu Linux

Here is how to use GnomeBaker to make a CD in Linux. You don't have to use GnomeBaker to burn a CD, there are many burning software to choose from, like Burn Documents to CD in Ubuntu Linux Using K3b for example.

Steps

  1. Download Brasero (a free Open-source CD burning/maker utility for GNOME). To do this click and open Ubuntu Software centre. It is included in recent versions of ubuntu. If not, you can download it.
  2. Type Brasero in search.
  3. You will find it in the list. Click on it and then click on Install Button to install it.
  4. After the program is installed, open it by going in Dashboard and typing Brasero.
  5. When GnomeBaker opens you have a variety of options.
    • If you wish to make a Data CD, click Data CD near the bottom.
    • Add the files and click "Burn"
    • If you want to make an Audio CD, click Audio CD instead of Data CD. You may need to download some extra codecs and libraries for certain audio formats.
    • Add the music and hit "Burn".



Tips

  • To make an ISO image, click Tools, and then Burn CD/DVD image depending on if you are burning to a CD or DVD. Then you will need to find the location of the ISO image (e.g /home/name/Desktop/someiso.iso)
  • You can copy another CD/DVD or Audio CD by selecting the option that applies from the Tools menu.

Warnings

  • Do not run another application while you are running GnomeBaker, for it can cause buffer under-run. Buffer under-run makes your CD or DVD useless unless it's a rewritable CD or DVD.

Things You'll Need

  • A CD or a DVD
  • 1 or more files to burn
  • Ubuntu Linux (or a GNOME based distro that is based on Debian)
  • A CD and/or DVD burner
