rohitsz Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) Greetings there, i have added a new SONY DVD R/RW device, and have started k3b first time. My previous cd r/rw is configured correctly and is able to read/write cd r/rw. now i got the following error: Unable to find growisofs executable K3b uses growisofs to actually write dvds. Without growisofs you won't be able to write dvds. Make sure to install at least version 5.10. Solution: Install the dvd+rw-tools package. Unable to find dvd+rw-format executable K3b uses dvd+rw-format to format DVD-RWs and DVD+RWs. Solution: Install the dvd+rw-tools package. how to i implement the above suggested solution? i tried the following: [root@localhost Desktop]# urpmi k3b The package(s) are already installed [root@localhost Desktop]# urpmi growisofs no package named growisofs [root@localhost Desktop]# thanks, rohit.

Ixthusdan Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Install the k3b dvd version. It is listed in your rpm sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 My Mandriva 2005 box does not have a DVD burner. I do have a package called k3b-dvd-0.11.20-7mdk installed. I believe this is the package Ixthusdan is referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohitsz Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi, My Mandriva 2005 box does not have a DVD burner. I do have a package called k3b-dvd-0.11.20-7mdk installed. I believe this is the package Ixthusdan is referring to. yes.. i guess my silly mistake! maybe i need a little sleep. the package is called k3b-dvd. and here's what i got... [root@localhost Desktop]# urpmi k3b-dvd To satisfy dependencies, the following 2 packages are going to be installed (0 MB): dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-2mdk.i586 k3b-dvd-0.12.3-11mdk.i586 Is this OK?
