I came back from a trip and wanted to transfer my photos from the camera to Google Photos, as I had done in June. I transferred them first to my Leap 42.2 desktop. I found that digikam could no longer transfer the files to Google Photos, apparently due to a change to the API. There was no other version of digikam for 42.2, so I would have to upgrade to 42.3.
That's one method, yes.
I downloaded the .iso file for Leap 42.3. But when I tried to burn it to a DVD, I got some error messages from k3b that direct burning was not permitted in my (v42.2) version. I tried to use the cdrecord application, but it also failed.
We can examine that error with cdrecord. How exactly did you use it, and what exact error did you get?
In short, the process I have always used for downloading a .iso file and burning it to a DVD on the latest (and fully updated) openSuSE version, that is available prior to a new release, does not work. This is not at all a good roll-out procedure.
Your problems are not related at all to the new release, but to some problem on your machine with burning DVDs. Anyway, that's not the only procedure; Why not use an USB stick instead? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
