[K12OSN] Fwd: DVD not working on server

[Peter Scheie]

That's not a good sign.  I think most GUI tools ultimately rely on 
cdrecord or its libraries to function.  You may have a bad drive, as I 
seem to recall getting similar results on a bad drive a while back.  Be 
sure you're root when you run the cdrecord test.  You should be getting 
something like this:

NOTE: This version contains the OSS DVD extensions for cdrtools and thus may
       have bugs related to DVD issues that are not present in the original
       cdrtools. Please send bug reports or support requests to
       http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla The original cdrtools author 
should
       not be bothered with problems in this version.

If you can, beg, borrow, or steal another drive to test to see if you 
get a different result.
