I'm running openSUSE 10.2 on two different 64-bit machines.

When I run the current packman version of k3b to burn a DVD iso, I get a checksum error on 'verify written data'. I also tried different media. Same error.

I turned off packman and re-installed the distribution version 0.12.17-31. It works but gives me the pesky 'run K3bSetup' message and K3bSetup doesn't exist.

Any suggestions?

k3b uses growisofs under the hood to burn DVDs. So most probably the problem is either with the growisofs, or is just with the compare routine of k3b.

Try to calculate md5 sums manually from the media to check.

Or use dd if=/dev/dvd of=new.iso and compare new.iso with the iso file you burned.

I did not change growisofs, it's still appears to be the packman version. Earlier I used k3b to do a 'copy dvd'->create an image only. The image's checksum did not match the original's. I just did the dd ... you suggested and new.iso did not match the original (it quit very quickly.) New.iso did match the image I did earlier. As near as I can tell, only k3b has changed. The distribution version works, packman's does not. There seems to be a comment on k3b in the packman mailing list archives, but my german isn't up to it anymore. -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
