[opensuse] K3B doesn't complete write verification
I have this odd problem with K3B (using openSUSE 10.3 x86_64) and I'm not sure why. I'm hoping someone can shed light on this. I can burn CDs with K3B, but when I check the write verification box, the program freezes when the write verification begins. Data on the disc is burned properly, but the app hangs. KDE, the kernel, etc. appears to be unaffected. I do have packman as a repository, and I'm wondering if the problem lies somewhere in there, but I don't know.

Do you have the option checked in the settings "Do not eject medium after write process" under Advanced? It would need to reset the drive and medium to be able to read the disc to verify after writing, which it would normally do via ejecting. If it is set to not eject, you would need to do this ejecting manually. Perhaps the program is not freezing, it may be waiting for you to eject manually. For example, my case has a see through cover that closes over the dvd writer, so I have disabled the auto eject in case it tries to eject with this door closed.

No ideas here, but I can confirm the same behaviour here on my 64-bit machine. Been burning a *lot* of discs the last few days, thanks to the mention of ManDVD, and I've gotten to the point of telling it not to verify as a result of the hangs. My DVD burner is a tray load that ejects/loads automatically; it did the first couple of discs fine, then it quit, just ejects the tray and hangs up. I'm also using the build from packman. I can kill the program and restart it and that works OK as well. Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

K3B actually hangs on an X11 level. The whole thing becomes a large white blob with window decorations (un-drawn, unreadable). I can minimize the program and continue working, but I end up having to xkill K3B. I don't think this is a force tray eject option. It worked perfectly fine before I added the packman repository. Not sure if it's the packman K3B build or a dependency that the stock openSUSE doesn't come with. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't know that it's X specifically, but it's definitely something blocking...

I would agree, but it's not something related to the packman repo itself - I didn't install anything between when it was working and when it wasn't - and I always set up packman as a default repo on my systems. It's definitely something in the app. Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

All I know is that it worked before I added packman. Maybe the version included in packman (which is obviously newer than the one that came with opensuse 10.3) has a bug. That is what you are getting at, correct? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had this problem months ago, and cleared it up by using Joe's suggestion to check the option "Do not eject medium after write process". Every burn since has gon without a hitch. and I too use the Packman repo. -ED- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
