In booting from the DVD I never get to the point of seeing any options for disk verification. It stalls in the BIOS at the point where it says it is booting from the DVD.

By the time you are trying to boot, it's too late for disk verification. Since you are using k3b to burn the disk, it will automatically burn an iso file correctly, but the iso file has to be good first. md5sum should show up in the k3b window, so all you have top do is compare it with the md5sum from the download site. k3b is a really nice piece of software, and it's hard to go wrong with it, but GIGO! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not only will k3b do a md5sum check of the tile for you so that you can verify is matches the the value from the download site, but it can also do a comparison after the burn to ensure the disk is readable and what's there is exactly what's in the .iso file. As you say, k3b is a nice piece of software :-0 -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

For k3b 1.0.5 and opensuse 11.1/kernel 3.5.10 Currently I have k3b 2.0.8 opensuse 13.1/kernel 3.19.0 The bug was reported using gnome not kde. It might have been a hardware issue. Dates from 2009. I'm not concerned about this.
For k3b-2.0.2 openSUSE 13.2RC1/kernel 3.16.4 I can't reproduce a DVD to DVD as I have only the one DVD burner. Having only the one burner, when I do copy DVDs, as opposed to creating them or burning a .iso I've downloaded, I create that intermediate file. Have you updated either k3b or the kenl since that last report? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I wrote comment 4 right after a zypper up, after booting it to 3.16.7.

If you have another machine available running openSUSE (any version) you can use the Media Check function in YaST to check the disc there. Peter On 22/02/15 20:07, Terry Eck wrote:
