[opensuse] RE: CD Data Burning application
I have tried with an unreal load of frustration to create a data CD. The KDE desktop I believe is limited to either KB3 or X-CD Roast. What application is every one using to create CD data disks? Using KB3 and the unreal amount of different errors to just erase of create a data CD, I now consider the application nothing more than BETA and X-CD Roast will not even load! There is a CD Data recorder available with via Nautalis, however it is dependant on a GNOME desktop. What application are all you guys using to get an existing downloaded file to the HDD burned onto a data CD? There must be something out there besides KB3 that will work well with a KDE desktop and actually be able to at least erase and burn a data that's not in the distro 10.2.

Hi Scott I believe you have a problem with K3b... K3b is a most excellent CD burner. Check your logs, what output do you get and so. Let's have a little more info. I'm quite confident that we'll get you burning. And mind you, K3b is not beta. It's quite mature and - in fact -excellent :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

k3b 0.12.17 Scott. The k3b is frontend and it works as good as application and the system behind. For me it worked all the time for iso files, data files transfer, for instance to computer that has no network without drivers :-) It made only once problem when I wanted to burn oversized iso. The k3b complained about the size and in default settings refused to run, which is good to prevent casual users to make coasters, but it didn't prevented me to change settings and burn iso anyway. Your post contains a little to start with. As usually it would be good to post version of openSUSE, if you updated k3b it's version too. If it is not from official repositories than what repositories were used. What kind of CD was used and how much data you wanted to put on CD. Exact steps that lead to error are important too. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

On that one I'd mind to disagree, my dear Rajko. There is a difference between the switches you are using with wodim and those k3b is using on it. Cheers Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Jan, Hmm... it seems that we understand words in a different way. Can k3b work without application behind? If yes, than it is standalone application, and I'm wrong. If not, it is graphical frontend (wrapper), and I'm right. Used switches doesn't change it's nature. The difference can produce problems, but examples in my post are recent when wodim was in use as a backend. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In the past I have used "xcdroast" a lot, and it is a fine program, but getting behind (has problems with dvds). You need to configure it first as root, though, and the current suse version wants to access "/usr/bin/cdrecord", which is a symlink to wodim, and it complains (you would have discovered that by starting the program from inside an xterm). Might be a bug, might be unsolvable. Dunno. Then, there is k3b, which is a magnificient program. A bit bloated for my liking, as most of kde. I don't understand the problems you might have with it, but you haven't explained. This is the program we all (99%) use, IMO. Then there are others, like gnome cd/dvd creator, but I don't like it, was too spartane. Actually, I don't know how to use the current version, it fires nautilus instead. As usual with suse, gnome is incomplete. Finally, there is the command line. Actually, all of these utils are really front-ends to the command line. So, you'd better explain what problem you have with k3b, because that's the best there is. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

K3B is a gui frontend that launches the cdrecord, mkisofs, growisofs etc CLI commands. However, the interaction between it and these commands is not always brilliant. This further complicated by the fact the underlying tool in SuSE is now wodim which does always return the results that K3B expects. Wodim and is precursor/ancestor are the only non-propriety tools available at the moment in Linux to my knowledge. The safest procedure in K3B is to.... i) create iso image... ii) then burn iso image as two separate actions, this will work with CD data burns nearly always in my experience (DVD is a bit more complex). Burning on the fly from file to disk can run into all sort of different troubles depending on what else the machine is doing and for all I know the current state of Denmark. The results are that unpredictable (and not just in a Linux environment BTW). I have now started to use CLI with wodim/mkisofs/growisofs rather than the K3B gui, so that at least I can attempt to get the result I intend rather than what someone else thinks I need. I have never used X-CD roast but I was under the impression that this was not orientated towards data anyway... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGdBrFasN0sSnLmgIRAtBHAJ4rg4p+nqrKVcqMKEpVx/VOsjgHxwCg2P0W f1M154nSORx9yXlzxZUv6lw= =ULR1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I titled this as "Maybe OT" because on my puter running FC6 I did a Smart upgrade (maybe it wasn't too smart) and now any open GL apps (like Google Earth) will crash KDE and take me back to a login screen. I think it is because of the new GL not being compatible with my nVidia card driver, which is the latest and greatest available from nVidia for that old card.

I'm confused. Did you try to "upgrade" a FC6 to some version of SuSE Linux / openSUSE? I'd expect that to yield a mess far beyond video driver mismatch.

I thought that I was quite specific in describing the problem. I have one
computer on my LAN that is running Fedora Core 6 and I preformed an
update with Smart Package Manager. After that, open GL apps don't work
any more. Is that clear? If it had been an opensuse problem, I would not have
said "Maybe OT" in the subject line.
Now, to also answer Sloan
and this relates to opensuse how?
My assumption was that it is an upgrade problem and no matter what distro is being used, a problem with an upgrade - especially using Smart - would be something that the gurus here on the opensuse list could help with. I am surprised that wasn't obvious. Obviously I was sadly mistaken. My apologies to the group for my assumption.

I guess I don't fully understand that one. The message that I get back looks clean to me. No previous message content, a new message subject, opensuse list address. I can tell no difference here between that and a new message, so not sure what the problem is, unless it is because I do not look at the full header and do not see something that maybe someone's email uses to sort threads. I'll take that under advisement. Then you said:

I'm not sure exactly what those are, since I read the posts that flow through here and don't see a lot of "accepted standards", other than bottom posting seems to predominate.
But, judging from your reply, you will probably continue to do as you d... well please, as m$ does.
Not sure where the venom is coming from on that one, either. I have a computer problem, I normally run opensuse but one of my boxes runs FC6. The type of problem that I ran into is not unusual in that sometimes upgrades break things. Open GL is used in most, if not all, Linux variants and the process by which Smart does it's thing is also relevant to opensuse, so that, plus the fact that those on this list tend to be more knowledgeable, is why I posed my question here.

OK. There is an optional header in each email that is a reply to an existing message, In-Reply-To:, that links that message to the one to which it replies. This allows mail clients to display messages in a hierarchical view. Only when a new message is posted, one that is not a reply to an earlier message, is the In-Reply-To: header not present. Whenever you use the "reply" function of your email client, it takes the Message-Id: header field of the message being "replied" to and uses its value in the In-Reply-To: field. Thus, regardless of the content of the Subject: header, your message is displayed by receiving mail clients in relationship to the message to which it is a reply, even if you did not intend it to be such a reply. That is why it is inappropriate to use the "reply" function when you're starting a new topic. If you want to be spared the effort of entering the destination (To:) address, use an address book entry or other feature of your mail client to free you of this tedium. Like many users of KDE on Linux, I use KMail, and it allows each mail folder to be associated with a mailing list, including its posting address. Thus, I never have to enter such repetitive information. I just issue the "New Message To List" command, and proceed directly to entering the Subject: and thence to the content of the message.

Thread hijacking is strongly frowned upon here, there being relatively few users of Outlook (/Express) and its brain-dead approach to email standards. We like our hierarchical topic threads. This may be one of the few outposts of well-run email forums, but we'd really not like to let it devolve to the state exhibited by so many other lists. You can expect to be chastised (and not just by me) whenever you hijack a thread on a SuSE list.

Why are you asking on a SuSE-related list about problems with Fedora Core? Surely the Fedora Core folks have their own forums?

You're forgiven. This time. But your post was definitely too far off-topic for this list. We have a list where nothing is off-topic: OpenSUSE-OffTopic@OpenSUSE.org. You can post anything you like there. Anything not grossly offensive, anyway.

I know you are not a CLI fan but if all else fails :-)
try
wodim dev=<your cdwriter name> blank=all
with the cd to erase in drive, at the CLI and look at response. This
should tell you if you have an issue with wodim (or the drive
configuration). As K3B frontends for wodim/cdrecord this will hopefully
narrow your problem down.
This should zap everything on CD ... may take some time.
K3B actually is a bit lax on error reporting so command line should get
more detail ...

340GB is an awful lot of DVDs :-) wodim takes on the cdrecord role for burning CDs (with a similar option set), in SuSE cdrecord is a link to wodim. mkisofs makes an iso image but does not do any burning itself (you can pipe mkisofs output to wodim but one would have tune a few things to get this to work reliably, and that is a still a bit of a black art). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGdokYasN0sSnLmgIRAi3MAJ923xhSlCSkk2zgz0+X0R8KVsW0jwCdH0BX Za+PlgcNjOrCvG88FzFhRy0= =UGKQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well its come down to this quote back from KDE "So, stop whining about open-source software which you can use for free. And BTW: K3b 0.12.17 is beta, why do you think it starts with a 0??" And I am using an old version - Sorry I have indicated the source as open suse distros - If there is an upgrade I would suspect that KDE would publish via auto update to Open Suse..... I am wrong again and KB3 is beta. The comments back also Quote Your error looks very strange, you only want to write less than 1MB? Did you use K3b's "force medium" button? Because cdrecord clearly does not like your medium. And as for the error message: you clearly did not read it properly. Not a k3b bug. erasing is done via wodim. Maybe the disk is too old or you should try "full" erasing. Unquote 1. Off course I tried different media! 2. I cannot read log debugs! 3. I chose full erase ! Bug closed in KDE as comments/conclusion neither helpful nor constructive by myself. Anyway thanks to all. Scott Registration Account wrote:
Thanks to all - I have info back from the bug I issued. The tecko says "there is something very strange happening did you force medium speed?.....NO I let KB3 do its own thing - Its better at deciding what speed to write with given the burner (liteon) I have....Thanks to all who tested my zany question - I can get them out of my head and talk to the tecko with confidence now.
Cheers Scott

This is going to sound really weird please bear with me
1. Can someone try to burn a Data CD and burn only MS-Windows .EXE files
I frequently burn a CD with several Win apps on it without problem. There is also a directory with OpenOffice docs in it.
Early on in XP Life there was the ability to directly copy files from HDD to CD, - It was called CD direct. This laid a particular format on the CD that the old CD burning software codex used to create a CD that you could say copy and paste with out the now current intermediate stage of "burn these files now". This facility has subsequently been removed via MS update over the years when MS bought the CD burner which I thinks original name was "Easy CD creator" This is the addin program that is one the first issue of SP2 that came out many years ago. As I have many many CD's to try I was loath to buy more. I only buy CD RW and good media not cheap multi packs. I just bought some new virgin CD's and KB3 addresses them without issue. Now problem solved - Its is a pity KDE in this instance did not want solve this issue - Like everything - at last resort blame the operator - well in this the operator is not stupid and has been around just a few more years than perhaps an inpatient tecko. Very disappointed in KDE. I don't think I will take the time to test and share my own conclusions - My thoughts that KDE wanted to make their suite of apps the best they could be - clearly this is not the case. ..Lunch time Happy days to all - I was able to learn a lot about DVD's issues via this discussion ;-) Scott Registration Account wrote:
