updates. Better keep FC3's k3b package, so you benefit from patches,
integration work and security/bug-fix updates.
Next FC install will be without KDE and I'll do the full KDE install from the kde-redhat.org packages. :-)
The problem isn't K3b or Nautilus, it's either cdrecord, the Kernel and/or some configuration I managed to mess up. :-)
It worked fine a week ago.... I burned CDs both from Nautilus and with K3b.
Also here is what happens when I try to use cdrecord by itself (this is how I know k3b isn't the problem).
To see where k3b fails, k3b's internal debug output might give a clue.
k3b offers debug output, so it can be looked at or saved to disk.
Between the time you wrote this and the time I saw it, I'd tried again to burn a CD with K3b and mysteriously, it worked.....
I tried both dots and commas, it was hard to make out which they were initially. And yes, I realized my typo so I went back and tried 1.1.0 with the same result.
[root@localhost ISOs]# cdrecord dev=1.2.0 SUSE-Linux-9.2-LiveCD-Gnome.iso
You should be able to use: -dev=/dev/cdwriter
dev=1.2.0 SCSI-style notation looks wrong (I'm not sure whether dots instead of commata are allowed), in particular because...
1,0,0 100) 'TOSHIBA ' 'DVD-ROM SD-M1202' '1020' Removable CD-ROM
1,1,0 101) 'SONY ' 'CD-RW CRX100E ' '1.0m' Removable CD-ROM
1,2,0 102) *
...a device at 1,2,0 is not available.
See above.
So what do I do next? :-)
What have you changed after the first week when it worked? Hopefully
you didn't load any IDE/ATAPI SCSI emulation kernel modules.
I did one Kernel upgrade from the original (the first one of the two Fedora has put out so far since the initial FC 3 release). And I added some nVidia packages for said Kernel from one of those "bad" repositories. And I added kernel-utils#1:2.4-13.1.39 (why I don't know....).
Have you modified /etc/cdrecord.conf?
I haven't, no. I can't speak for any software I've installed though.....
In any event both k3B and Nautilus are mysteriously burning again. So to heck with CD record. I'll let the GUIs do the work... :-)
Thanks.
