The way I read the wodim man page, blank is for -RW media, not +RW. Conversely, format is only for +RW media.
I agree about format, but that is automatic anyway and the DVD already has a mountable filesystem on it so it's clearly been formatted. The wodim manpage only mentions CD-RW in conjunction with blank, so that doesn't tell me much. The brasero help mentions CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW.
Did you try using K3B instead of wodim directly?
No, I started by trying brasero but I can't make it do anything. It doesn't seem to recognize the disk/drive. I used to use K3B a long time ago but have had problems with it in more recent times. I prefer to use the underlying command line tools, especially when I'm having trouble. It's easier to see what's going wrong.
It's been a while, but IIRC, I had that problem trying to use the K3B version normally installed with KDE4, but running a KDE3 desktop. Do you have a KDE3/KDE4 mixed desktop?
That machine runs a gnome desktop but I'm running these commands via X/ssh from an icewm desktop. I don't run KDE at all. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
