In k3b -> Settings -> Configure k3b -> Programs

User parameters tab

Try adding -immed to cdrecord

no didn't changed anything, It interrupts when it starts fixating. Is the cdwriter broken?

[chris z]

are you burning this in audio only mode or as a mixed media (audio & data) CD? i forget the exact terminology (not at home right now, so no K3b to check with), but there is an option to burn a CD with mixed media. if you haven't tried that, then give it a whirl.

no I tried first Audio only, that cd worked fine.

 

Then I tried another audio cd, but it didn't want to fixate(cd was larger though). After that I tried to burn an image, but again I had the fixate problem

[chris:b]

Not sure, but ...

The suse-iso is 700,1 MB, + finalizing/fixating needs some add. bytes.

 

K3b--> settings --> configure k3b, first window, tab: advanced: check 'allow overburn'.

(the wording might be different in your locale)

 

It is not set by default.

[Echylo]

no, that didn't help :(

[chris:b]

Last try. If I remember well, there was a problem with some drives and the cdrecord version shipped with 10 Official.

 

You could try these versions (made for mdk 10), I'd first go for cdrecord-vanilla, and then cdrecord-2.01-0.a35:

Good luck!

thx for your help, but(there is always a but :P ) it didn't worked, I think my writer is broken, always the same fixating error :(
