I think you misunderstood me. k3b does use cdrecord or wodim (cdrkit) for the actual burning (whichever is installed, it prefers cdrecord if both are there).
I probably did :o) The k3b i've got installed is using wodim 1.1.11, so I did a "find" for wodim and cdrecord and they both are in /usr/bin.
On a default installation, cdrecord is just a symlink to wodim for compatibility reasons (that symlink is part of the package cdrkit-cdrtools- compat).
To use the real cdrecord, you have to install it explicitly (which causes cdrkit-cdrtools-compat to be uninstalled).
Maybe time for wodim to deleted from the repos - not sure where it came from, i guess it might have been installed with the packman 2.9 version.
No. It is being installed by default since years. cdrkit (including wodim) was created based on an old cdrtools (cdrecord) version (by Debian IIANM), because there were assumed license problems with cdrtools. openSUSE dropped cdrtools and replaced them with cdrkit as well back then. Ok, thanks for the explanation
Nowadays, cdrtools is again part of the distribution (since 13.2 I think), but unless this has changed recently, cdrkit is still installed by default.
But cdrkit hasn't really been improved since years (unlike cdrtools), and according to cdrtools' author even contains severe bugs (I cannot and don't want to comment on that though).
You might want to search the Internet for further discussions/explanations if you are interested...
But yes, it would probably be a good idea to drop cdrkit IMHO, though kiwi still requires it for some reason AIUI. Maybe they need to be prompted to drop it or fix it.
I launched yast to check what version of cdrecord was installed and yast showed it as not installed.
So you did in fact use wodim/cdrkit. I went from 13.1 to tumbleweed and i never had a burn fail prior to tumbleweed, i think this is the first burns i've done since tumbleweed.
I then installed it and it brought in a few related dependencies and now k3b working as it did before.
So your problem is solved now? ;-) It certainly seems so, thanks again.
Kind Regards, Wolfgang
