rogerh Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hello, Looking for a CD burner on my Mandriva 2008.1 for KDE. Tried a forum search, but 'CD' is too short and I got a fault..... Will primarily use for data storage. GUI with drag and drop would be great, but not sure if something like that exists....

Greg2 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 K3b, it's in the repos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 It's probably already installed, just look in the menu under "Tools". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerh Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks, but K3b does not seem to be in my release (why I thought maybe it was superseded). I'll look for a download...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) If you have your URPMI-sources installed correctly you can simple install K3B. In 2009 K3B is not standard installed :mellow: at least in the one version. Edited December 9, 2008 by willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 K3b is definitely on the One CD for 2008.1. And you shouldn't be "looking for a download", just click it in the "add software" gui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerh Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks - just installed 2008.1 (3 CD) a couple of weeks ago, and have not set up the URPMI yet (guess that is next.....) Tried the 'add SW', but K3b is not found in the search of available SW, so I can only conclude it is not there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 so I can only conclude it is not there... It will be once you set up urpmi. K3b is a great package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerh Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Well, went to easyURPMI (which I have used before) but when I try to open either the official or plf buttons in another page (per instructions) it won't let me. Clicking on the button activates a pdf download, which is not appropriate if I remember right (need to select mirror location, etc). Am I missing something??

Greg2 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 It sounds like you're trying to use the new interface for 2008.1, try using the old interface instead. https://mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/old/ I would also suggest that you run (as root) urpmi.removemedia -a first, to reinitialize the setup.

neddie Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 With 2008.1 the setting up of repositories got a lot easier - you can do it all from the gui. If it doesn't automatically ask you (as it should if you haven't got repositories set up already), just go to Options - Media Manager, click the "Add" button, and follow the instructions. This is probably the easiest way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerh Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Great call - the old format worked as I remembered. I did go into the control panel to load the URPMI info, and it ended up doing all of that automatically for me (automation.....). Is the 'update' column indicate an automated, periodic scan of newly available updates?? I am on a modem, and unchecked those boxes as a precaution - terrible when the system goes on holiday for half an hour automatically updating things.
