[SOLVED] setting proper path for arecord code

My computer dual boots with Puppy Linux 5.2.8.

In Puppy Linux,this is the code I use to record my radio show every Sunday:

arecord -t wav -f cd -d 8700 /mnt/sdc1/radioshows/ITAUG2612.wav

It works fine.

when I use the same code in Zorin 6 core, nothing happens. Do I have to reset the path to something else? What info do you need to help me?

Hi,

have you entered the correct path like in this pic??. What is the address of the target folder??.

When I record my shows, I save the recording to two different areas. The other code I use is this:

arecord -t wav -f cd -d 120 /home/home/Desktop/intransition.wav

This works fine. It's only when I want to save the recording to my external USB drive (arecord -t wav -f cd -d 8700 /mnt/sdc1/radioshows/ITAUG2612.wav) that I run into problems. I am pretty sure that the path is wrong.

When I am in Zorin, the path of the folder looks like this. See attached.

As a test, I set the code to record every minute. Once I know it works, I reset the time to the actual hour of my radio show.

Hi,

is your external drive auto-mounted?? and have you double checked the path name??.

An example of a file that I have on an external drive path name:

/media/My Passport/gparted guide/gparted how to.odt

Regards Wolfman

I double checked the path name.

This worked. Thanks for your help anyway Wolfman!

arecord -t wav -f cd -d 2700 /media/6419E04D42F9047A/radioshows/ITAUG2612.wav

Cool

I did notice in the 2nd pic that /home appears twice in the path!!??.

Regards Wolfman

Yes. That is the path I saw when I followed it back to root /.
