Gnome CD/DVD Creater (known bug?) not fixed in 9 month?
Hi list. I run Suse linux 10.0 and I update my system with SUSEWatcher continously. Problem: If I burn lets say 100Megs of data on a CD RW disc with Gnome CD/DVD Creater it works fine. Later when I wan´t to burn new data to the same CD RW disc I´m told to insert a CD R/CD RW that has space for the data (there should be a couple of hundred Megs left). When using Google I found this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164352 It says that the bug is FIXED... How come that I don´t get the fix of "Nautilus" through SUSEWatcher ??? I have Nautilus 2.12.0 right now. Thanx in advance. /Peo Registered Linux user #432116 http://counter.li.org/ http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

SuSE packages versions only get security updates. If you simply want a bug solved, you probably need newer versions, and those are not suplied "normally". You need to update - either gnome, if possible (if offered in some repository) or the whole distro. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Thanks for the advice. I find it bad that Suse doesn´t ship patches for this serious bugs, so that one can have the update through SUSEWatcher. It would be much easier for us "newbees" and I think the easier it gets to "manage" the SUSE system the more people would migrate to Linux. Ps. Sorry for not paying attention where the first respond went. Ds /Peo Registered Linux user #432116 http://counter.li.org/ http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

You get security updates, and sometimes some very serious bugs. For the rest, you can get newer versions of some things through the repositories. But, first, you are running 10.0, and the main effort is going into 10.2. Second, you found a problem with gnome, and then again, the main effort goes into kde.

There are very good reasons not to. The issue pops here now and then, but it boils down to not touching the packages except by the minimun, ie, security updates. You can not simply install new versions of packages, expecially libraries, without breaking down dependencies, which means that you have got to replace a lot of things instead of one... you'd better be updating the whole thing. What they do is to monitor the security bugs that are discovered and solved by the developpers worldwide in the new versions (even cvs versions) and correct that particular problem in the version that was distributed, without changing the version number. But, if you are adventurous, you have the respositories with new versions. There is one for gnome somewhere - but I'd recomend you update to 10.1 or wait for 10.2. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I would give GnomeBaker a try. I find Nautilus lacking when it comes to burning CD/DVD projects. GnomeBaker is a lot like K3B, but written in GTK for the Gnome environment. :) -Ben -- Envy, n: Wishing you'd been born with an unfair advantage instead of having to try and acquire one.

Thanks for the tip. I´ll give it a try. But I still feel bad about them letting loose Gnome CD/DVD Creator with such a serious bug. Don´t they try the basic functions of the software before letting it loose? /Peo Registered Linux user #432116 http://counter.li.org/ http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

No, _you_ try it. You can "try" the 10.2 alpha version right now and report the errors. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Assuming your using K3b just www.k3b.org and follow the links to either the tar.gz or the Suse RPM. Nice thing about this org they include k3bsetup which for some strange reason is left out by Suse. CWSIV
