Is this maybe the old problem I had, where kscd is running at login and grabs the CD-burner, preventing k3b's access to it? It sounds a little bit like it, but not exactly. Actually it sounds worse. But try this:I have an usb cd/dvd burner and i can't make it burning. When i boot with the burner plugged and on the system see it as cdrom device and i can mount it. But k3b cdrecord and cdrdao can't see it. When i boot with the burner off and i switc it on after : i can't mount it as cdrom device but k3b recognize it. The problem is taht only k3b recognize it but cdrecord and cdrdao not. So i can't burn anything. Someone have the same problem or can help me. It will make me crazy!! Thanxes Eric
Go to a terminal and run
ps ax|grep kscd
if kscd is running, you'll get the pid and you can kill it; or you may also see the little CD icon on your panel that you can right-click on to quit. Either is fine. Try k3b again at that point.
If that works, you can permanently prevent kscd from starting automatically by removing its entry in ~/.kde/Autostart.
