In attempting to write a single sided (Memorex 4X DVD-R recordable) DVD with K3b and SuSE 9.2, I get repeated failures (although the first attempt and only that worked) with the following consistent information (except for the file size): Iso9660 Filesystem (Size: 3.7 GB) Press burn; get in display: Waiting for media .. .

Display of debugging info provides the following:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi David, I assume you've tried this as user.. If that user is not first user you added.. mh.. could you show us the permissions of your block devices? ( /dev/hdd ( or wherever your DVD-Recorder is attached to ) and /dev/sr0 ) you could also make another test.. open a console window and do a scanbus.. cdrecord --scanbus dev=ATAPI: if this fails, I 'd think you could have the problem #1.. permissions.. ;) Markus

For starters, try to use growisofs itself. Second, what kind of dvd burner do you have? This /dev/sr0, is it a scsi dvd burner? Try using growisofs -Z /dev/hdc, or /dev/hdd, depending where your burner is located at. Have you tried burning it on another OS, or on another computer with the same burner?

Yup, Mepis 2004 and it works just fine, same box

or on another computer with the same burner?

no. I know that the usb cable for this device is VERY touchy, but it has worked before on the SuSE 9.2 side of this box, and did just fine on the debian distro today. I did find one problem with the burn attempt which was that the temp file was full - apparently SuSE doesn't empty the temp files on boot - when I emptied it the burner was very willing to burn a DVD. However, it did so in record time and when completed there wass nothing on the disk even though K3b said that the burn was successful. At that point in the day I elected to backup everything I felt to be of any particular importance, blew away both the SuSE 9.2 and Mepis 2004.04 partitions, and reinstalled both OSs. The on-line updates were still running when I left work so it will be Monday before I can see if the external DVD writer will be functional. Meanwhile, with Sony DRU-720A Double Layer internal drives on sale for $99 I may just purchase one and toss the external Sony 510A USB drive. But I intent to try and get the USB drive to work prior to making the jump. Thanks for your suggestions. dave -- David C.
