Since I can't reproduce it with cdrecord 2.01-0.a19.2 and k3b 0.10.2 from http://fedora.us, I conclude it is not a general problem, but could be specific to some CD-writer drivers in cdrecord. You could query bugzilla.redhat.com on whether a problem with cdrecord has been reported already. You could also try whether cdrecord itself works for you when burning a CD at the command line. That would help in finding out whether it's a problem in cdrecord or a problem between k3b and cdrecord. > > What version of k3b? > > The one that I installed using synaptic: > > 1:0.10.3-1.xcyb.8.fc1 Side-note: the increase to Epoch 1 was not necessary. Be prepared that whenever there'll be an official k3b in Fedora Extras, that you may need to remove this package manually. --
