kde-head Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Just did a fresh install of Mandrake 10 official, and my cd writer drive refuses to mount and as a result K3B doesnt burn. Anyone else notice this problem? 10.1 doesnt fix the issue http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/101beta.php3 "Known troubles: - Kernel 2.6.8.1 breaks CD burning as a user ; again this kernel panic at the end of installation, we are working on it." I suppose I just need to boot into the 2.4 kernel for now, until this problem is rectified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 definitely won't be the problem with 10.0, as it uses a much earlier kernel. Shouldn't be the problem with 10.1, either. Can you give more detail? dmesg would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Of the last releases series since 9.2, only 10.1 beta 1 did not burn a cd for me, All the rest have, including the current 10.1 CE. Did you run the k3b setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Using gui- System>Configuation>KDE>System>k3b-setup Mandrake moved it to a funky place, instead of with archiving. If you have used it before, just go thru the process, and don't forget to add yourself to the user group. It should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) If Im not mistaken it has problems writing as a user. Since the 2.6 kernel started I just always started cd progs as root: $kdesu k3b Ive had no problems since Edited October 3, 2004 by ac_dispatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rriva005 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 K3B Won't work on my Laptop, /w Sony External/Portable usb burner. K3b Will Work on my desktop /w generic 52x burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 kernel 2.6.8.1-10mdk has no problem burning as a regular user in k3b, once setup is done. kernel 2.6.8.1-3, if I recall, would not work at all for burning with me. If you choose to use 2.4.x, just remember to emulate scsi for your writer and for copying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
