Trying to run k3b to copy data. First problem: k3b says there is no writable optical drive in the machine. If I put any disk in the _DVD_ drive, the machine (but not k3b) says it finds optical _CD writer_. (CD would be OK, that's what I'd like to burn.) At any rate, I drag the /home directory to the project area, as per the instructions in the ///usr/share/docmanual... but then there is no "file+save" to name the file. Ignoring that, I select Burn. The Data Project window opens, as shown in the instructions. I select Create Image, Remove Image, and Verify written data. In the writing tab, I can't select the burn medium, the speed, etc. Going thru all of the instructions, I come again to the instruction, Burn. It has a line thru it, and cannot be selected. I am trying to save my /home directory before I wipe out SUSE and install something more friendly. Then you all will be rid of me. Any help out there? Thanx.

Hi, seems to me that k3b has some problems recently. I also have k3b/kde4 installed as a separate program, and if I select that program instead of k3b, I don't have the problems and am able to burn whatever I wish.

Mark Have the same problem with K3B but found a burning program ready installed on my Suse with the name of Brasero. It found the cdrom and was able to burn. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV ,

k3b is based on wodim in openSuSE... At CLI enter.... wodim --devices the output of this command should give clues as what is happening. BTW you do not state which version of openSuSE you are using and there were some significant differences in available command options after some changes made a year or so ago. Updating wodim may help.... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
