I recently upgraded to 2007.1 and am having the same trouble. It seems that I can't get more than 2X out of my system when 2007 was running between 14 and 16X.
-
I've noticed the same thing...well, not the CPU heating, but Update hangs if I select ekiga. VERY weird :mellow:
-
Scarecrow, Thanks for all the help...but...I went ahead and fixed it the "windows" way. I re-installed my OS. Yes....the tired and true method of deleting your operating system and doing a fresh install worked. This being the case, I OVBIOUSLY made some sort of error that killed k3b's ability to burn dvds. i don't know what it was, but I'm betting I updated something I ddin't need to update. Anyway, thanks again for all the help. I've bookmarked that page with firmware updates just in case. I'm not proud of the way I did it, but at least its fixed. On the brightside, with Mandriva, I took me all of 30 minutes to go from install to fully working again....never goes that fast with windoze. :)

This doesn't look like a problem with hotplugging. I can burn cd's easily. Just dvds crash out. Any other ideas?
-
also, I have the latest version of dvd+rw-tools. With the hotplug daemon off, I will need to mount each device on its own? What's the point of having a modern operating system if I can't hot plug my devices?
-
I know about HardDrake, but which is the hotplug daemon?
-
I've even tried running k3b as root but still nothing. It does burn cds just fine. Is the problem this "cdrecord" error that cropped up?
-
I tried going to an earlier version of k3b, dropping from version 12.5 down to 12.3. I even made sure all previous k3b files were erased. When k3b started after plugging in the dvd, I got this message: cdrecord will be run with root privileges on kernel >= 2.6.8 Since Linux kernel 2.6.8 cdrecord will not work when run suid root for security reasons anymore. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem So I ran k3bsetup. There was NOTHING to change! I enabled the burning group again, but that was it. I have no way of making any changes unless I want to add something. I cannot even remove anything. So I saved the burning group activation, exited k3bsetup, and started k3b. It recognized that this was the first time I started up and asked to verify the cd writing speed of the usb drive as well as my IDE cd-writer. Then I tried to burn, and got the same message again: System ----------------------- K3b Version: 0.12 KDE Version: 3.4.2 QT Version: 3.3.4 Kernel: 2.6.12-12mdk Devices ----------------------- MAD DOG MD-16XDVD9 2.F6 (/dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0/cd, /dev/sg1) at /mnt/cdrom1 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM; DVD-R; DVD-RW; DVD+R; DVD+RW; DVD+R DL] [DVD-ROM; DVD-R Sequential; DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite; DVD-RW Sequential; DVD+RW; DVD+R; DVD+R Double Layer; CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R96P; SAO/R96R; RAW/R16; RAW/R96P; RAW/R96R; Restricted Overwrite] Lite-On LTN486S 48x Max YDS6 (/dev/hdc, ) at /mnt/cdrom [CD-ROM] [CD-ROM] [None] SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352F T902 (/dev/hdd, ) at /mnt/cdrom2 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM] [DVD-ROM; CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R96P; SAO/R96R; RAW/R16; RAW/R96P; RAW/R96R] Used versions ----------------------- growisofs: 5.21 growisofs ----------------------- :-( unable to open64("/dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0/cd",O_RDONLY): No such device or address growisofs command: ----------------------- /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0/cd=/home/roy/Documents/pld-catcf.img -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -dvd-compat -speed=6.1 If there were another dvd writing program, I would not be so frustrated. But the Nautilus dvd writer software is so limited that I really need k3b to work. Any other help?
-
Again....no dice. The system recognizes the dvd drive is present. When I put a blank dvd in the drive, k3b starts right up. When I try to burn a disk, I get: System ----------------------- K3b Version: 0.12.5 KDE Version: 3.4.2 QT Version: 3.3.4 Kernel: 2.6.12-12mdk Devices ----------------------- MAD DOG MD-16XDVD9 2.F6 (/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/cd, ) at /mnt/cdrom1 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM; DVD-R; DVD-RW; DVD+R; DVD+RW; DVD+R DL] [DVD-ROM; DVD-R Sequential; DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite; DVD-RW Sequential; DVD+RW; DVD+R; DVD+R Double Layer; CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R96P; SAO/R96R; RAW/R16; RAW/R96P; RAW/R96R; Restricted Overwrite] SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352F T902 (/dev/hdd, ) at /mnt/cdrom2 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM] [DVD-ROM; CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R96P; SAO/R96R; RAW/R16; RAW/R96P; RAW/R96R] Lite-On LTN486S 48x Max YDS6 (/dev/hdc, ) at /mnt/cdrom [CD-ROM] [CD-ROM] [None] Used versions ----------------------- growisofs: 5.21 growisofs ----------------------- :-( unable to open64("/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/cd",O_RDONLY): No such device or address growisofs command: ----------------------- /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/cd=/home/roy/Documents/pld-catcf.img -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -dvd-compat -speed=11.9 I'm stumped.

What information do you want? The k3b setup sees my cd rom drive, the cd writer/dvd reader as well as the usb drive on both /dev/scsi/host18/bus0/target0/lun0/cd and /dev/sg1. Yes..two separate entries... In the shell, I get kbuildsycoca running... KWrited - Listening on Device /dev/pts/3 QMultiInputContext::changeInputMethod(): index=0, slave=xim kcmshell: ERROR: (K3bDevice::Device) Unable to do inquiry. kcmshell: ERROR: (K3bDevice::Device) Unable to do inquiry. Is there any more info?

I'm having a spot of trouble with k3b. It suddenly stopped recognizing blank dvds. And I mean suddenly...as from one day to the next. One day I'm burning fine, the next...boom. I use a MadDog usb burner recognized by k3b as "MAD DOG MD-16XDVD9." When burning, the program counts to 40 or 50 secs then says I need to add a double layer dvd. I first thought I had a bad disk so I replaced it but my system had suddenly "lost" the burner. It was still in the Devices folder (I'm using Mandriva 2006 powerpack) but was unmounted and I could not force it to mount. I unpluggeg the cable and plugged it back in, and the burner was seen again (mounted and all). I got some info from k3b after this debacle repeated it self: System ----------------------- K3b Version: 0.12.5 KDE Version: 3.4.2 QT Version: 3.3.4 Kernel: 2.6.12-12mdk Devices ----------------------- MAD DOG MD-16XDVD9 2.F6 (/dev/scsi/host18/bus0/target0/lun0/cd, /dev/sg1) at /mnt/cdrom1 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM; DVD-R; DVD-RW; DVD+R; DVD+RW; DVD+R DL] [DVD-ROM; DVD-R Sequential; DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite; DVD-RW Sequential; DVD+RW; DVD+R; DVD+R Double Layer; CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R96P; SAO/R96R; RAW/R16; RAW/R96P; RAW/R96R; Restricted Overwrite] Used versions ----------------------- mkisofs: 2.1.1a03 growisofs: 5.21 growisofs ----------------------- :-( unable to open64("/dev/scsi/host18/bus0/target0/lun0/cd",O_RDONLY): No such device or address growisofs command: ----------------------- /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/scsi/host18/bus0/target0/lun0/cd=/dev/fd/0 -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -use-the-force-luke=tracksize:1990992 -dvd-compat -speed=11.9 Any help? BTW the Nautilus burner works just fine...only k3b is acting up.
-
so its screwed up all around?
-
any good tips on the best way to do this...I'm not the most proficient with the command line...just NO FEAR... (good back ups help) :)
-
Thanks Aussie! I was a little concerned about just removing Kat if it was so tied to the Devices folder. BUT I removed it and restarted the session...and viola! No resource hog and my Devices folder is intact. THANKS!
-
One more thing....this is replicable. I can clear the icons by killing kded and bring them back by running "kded" from a terminal. :)
-
Update! OK...I found out why the items dissappear. It's tied to Kat. When I kill kded (or close Kat from the systray), the drive icons go bye-bye. Is there a way to keep these drives available with out the mega-resource hog which is Kat?

Just installed 2006 Powerpack and I'm having a few problems with the new "Devices" folder. My usb key and Sansa usb mp3 player ONLY appear in the folder....not on the desktop. And randomly (at least I can't see a pattern yet) all devices dissappear except the Local Network, Network Services, and Samba Shares (None of which I even use yet). Any ideas?
-
Yup....I have to keep WinXP on this box since its a work computer. Joy... Is there away to fix this?
-
I just installed Mandriva 2006 powerpack (that torrent took FOREVER). Install went great...no problems. System started up....no problems. Programs up and running..all going great. Then I shut down my box. First, I logged out of KDE to get the menu. From the menu, I choose to shut down the computer (not restart). The screen goes blank and then fills with strange white characters. Any ideas? What other information can I provide? This is a pentium 4 with 1 gig ram and an NVidia graphics card.
-
Quick update....several disks later and I'm a happy camper! :D Now, all I need to do is make a nice set of back up disks....who's idea was it to convert all of my cds to mp3s? Oh wait....
-
Looks like the problem was a bum disk. I tried a different one and all SEEMS to work. A few more error free burns and I'll be much happier. Thanks for all the help!
