Cannot burn with K3B-0.12-1 and kernel 2.6.11.10-1 ?

Hello smile

Recently (18-19.06.2005) I've upgraded my Archlinux system with the newest packages (almost 400MB). Everything went fine and I had no problems BUT yesterday I tried (several times) to burn an ISO image to CDR and it fails all the time after a few seconds. Here is the recording log:

After upgrading the system I Was still using my own kernel 2.6.10.5 and there was the same problem, that's why I've decided to change to the newest ARCH one. I did the same with DEVFS. I've changed it to UDEV. I even tried to downgrade the K3B and cdrtools to earlier versions - no effect hmm

What happend?
maybe these lines in fstab

#none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0
#tmpfs                  /tmp          tmpfs     defaults            0      0

should be unhashed ?
I'm even thinkig about going back to kernel 2.4.30 but there were no problems with 2.6.x.x series recently... sad

Thank You for Your help !
Best regards smile

Re: Cannot burn with K3B-0.12-1 and kernel 2.6.11.10-1 ?

I think those lines in your /etc/fstab should be enabled, but IMO that's not the source of the problem. Enable them anyway...

Did you try burning as root?
Are you sure that the disc isn't bad? Try writing an RW disc, just in case.

I disabled these lines in the past when i had problems with to little temporary space or something like that. I don't even remember what was it smile but after disabling everything is fine.

Yes I tried as root. Same problem. After a few seconds K3B is closing session and says that i should try burning with TAO hmm (even when I'm doing it).
And i tried with several different CDRs. I'm doing a simulation to not to loose CDRs wink

maybe there is something wrong with UDEV? I've just downgraded to udev-056-1 - the same problem. Maybe udev-054-1?
what a Sh...t .. hmm

Re: Cannot burn with K3B-0.12-1 and kernel 2.6.11.10-1 ?

Well, I've just noticed strange thing.
I had my HDD and CDRW on the same IDE controller (hda, hdb) so I moved CDRW to secondary slave (hdd) and guess what. I can burn more data on CD ! I was happy until... until I've noticed that it is only maximum 7MB !! I can't burn no more.
Mmm what do You think about it? It seems like it could be a buffer underrun problem. But how to solve it? Any ideas?
Oh and my hardware is OK - I checked it in Windows XP and it went fine even on 1 controller.

I'll be grateful for any ideas smile

Sorry... Could you explain what that reason is? Low memory?

Um, no-one is going to think this is funny, they'll just ignore you in the future but you figured it out - well done, I'm genuinely pleased for you.

Karma XXL - I don't know what the reason is but it is fixed now - which is the main thing

I cannot burn in K3b either. Just sits there saying 'preparing data'. I hit cancel and try to kill the process, but k3b stays open. Have to relog to get rid of it. any ideas ?




UPDATE - went back to previous package, 11.24-2, and it burns fine.
