I just wanted to burn a .iso file to a CD. (Why is another sad
story.) On my desktop F7 x86_64 system.
I tried k3b, my normal tool. Tools: Burn CD Image. When I clicked
"Start", it hung, not even updating the window damage.
Are you sure the drive is working? Did you put a writable CD or DVD in
the drive? And if you are writing to DVD, is the DVD the proper type, of
+R or -R?
Have you run `mount` to see the optical drive device?
I don't often need to burn a CD or DVD -- today was my first time in a
while that I've done it. I much prefer using flash drives to transport
files. Capacities are generally larger, and flash drives seem less prone
to damage than CD/DVD media.
If I must burn a DVD, I like to use growisofs.
