I'm wondering if SuSE's build of K3b doesn't include k3bsetup2 for some reason... I think the separate setup program was dropped in K3b 0.10 in favour of the control centre module.
I have been following your discussion with interest, having recently moved from 8.2 to 9, and from a perfectly functioning K3b setup to what 9 proposes, and was nor very functional for me. Namely, CDrecorder as /dev/sr0 (scsi emulation) and my dvd reader as /dev/hdd. Just when I thought a SuSE version had come alond that did not require fiddling with grub parameters, I realized that starting k3b produced an error message saying that CDRDAO could not be used with an atapi drive, and so taht setting scsi-emulation for both drives was far better (this is the officioal error message from the k3b development team!). Now I've been with SuSE since 5.3, and CD burning has always been a problem. If scsi emulation simplifies everybody's life, including k3b developers, why isn't this the default? Then, to come back to the discussion at hand, I also looked for that handy configuartion program, k3b-setup when I got 9, but could not find it anymore. Mind you, after enabling scsi-emulation on both drives and changing permissions on /dev/sr0-1, everything was fine. So I tried kcmshell k3bsetup2, which produced no result then /opt/kde/bin/kcmshell k3bsetup2 , which produced the setup programme I was looking for. (By the way, I run k3b-0.10.1, from packman through apt, and have upgraded kde 3.1.4 too. ). Then checking the kde control centre, I found k3bsetup2 under System administration, while the CDbakeoven options can be changed in the main tree, just after Appearance and Themes (not too obvious, one would say). Conclusion: unnecessarily complicated! A new user who is not particularly computer literate would have no chance to get it to work.
