I downloaded another ISO - leap 42.1 and that burnt okay. I am assuming that if the downloaded ISO passes the md5 check, it should be a good iso. The one i'm failing with is Knoppix 7.6 and i've never known that to fail to burn.
That shouldn't really depend on the ISO though (unless it is too large to fit onto the CD/DVD... ;-) ). An ISO file is just a 1:1 copy of a CD/DVD, there is no special "format". And even if the md5 checksum is wrong, the burning shouldn't fail.
Burning just means writing the image back to a CD/DVD 1:1. If the image is broken, the resulting CD/DVD will be broken. But burning it should still succeed.
Thanks for the info, i'll try cdrecord from the cli in the meantime
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.
But as cdrecord is actively developed and wodim not (since years), you may experience a bug/problem in wodim that is fixed in cdrecord.
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.
So I wanted to suggest that you try to install cdrecord if you are using wodim currently, maybe burning would succeed with k3b then.
I launched yast to check what version of cdrecord was installed and yast showed it as not installed. I then installed it and it brought in a few related dependencies and now k3b working as it did before. Thanks for the heads up and explanation.
But if you were able to burn other ISOs, that's probably not the reason...
Kind Regards, Wolfgang
