Running CUERipper on Linux Options

[leo-bogert]

Hello,
I'm in the progress of finishing my tool perfect-flac-encode which is a Linux bash shell script.
CUERipper would be very nice for ripping the input WAV images I guess.

I've gotten it to run under Ubuntu 12.04 with Wine but it won't detect the CD drive.
The Wiki says "Users report they have been able to use it under linux, using Mono," but doesn't state any instructions on how to get it to run.

Can someone help me getting it to run? I only need the ability to rip WAV image+CUE+LOG, no encoding is needed.
I would be glad for a list of needed packages for example as Mono is a rather huge framework and I don't want to blindly install lots of stuff.

Thank you

I mean this screen:



You should click on "Autodetect" here. If a letter is not assigned to your CD drive Cuetools could fail to detect it.

Thanks. Thats exactly what I was talking about. This is about mount points, not block devices. You cannot mount an audio CD, it contains no file system. That screen makes no sense for audio CDs.
You can test it: It will only autodetect the CD drives if a data CD is inserted, not with an audio disc.

For validating what I just claimed, I also added /dev/cdrom as D: and CUETools still won't detect it.

Well, I think it makes sense and it's indeed necessary. You have to tell wine somehow where is the CD and to what letter it should be assigned.

Have you set the type as CD-ROM?


I won't keep insisting since you seem to know what are you talking about (and know more than me about the subject).

Several posts where you may find what causes your problem:

(Note that some additional steps shall be done if you are using udev)

You are right! I tried the following method, which is suggested in your links:
- Insert a data CD
- Tell KDE to mount the CD ("Open with file manager"). It will result in a mountpoint /media/cdrom
- Start CUERipper
- Replace the data CD with an audio CD.

The audio CD is detected!

The implementation of wine sucks there. It should not require a data CD to be mounted for being able to detect the CD drive.
Audio CDs are a perfect example of CDs which just CANNOT be mounted, so it makes no sense at all to expect a mount point.
I guess I will have to file a bug at the wine bugtracker.

THANK YOU for keeping to believe in what you said originally and trying to prove it with links.
