This is not an answer, but a question: Is there a bit-by-bit copy program that will copy _anything_ exactly, including encoding. so that Antonio's last comment becomes moot?
You should be able to do that with dd.
of course I solved as suggested changing the image folder....but in my opinion for a new Linux user it should not happen to have to change any k3b setting as it should work immediately or to have to use dd. Please note that this is a fresh Fedora 20 installation and it is the first time that I wanted to make a DVD copy on this machine (it didn't happen for example in F18 or F19 on another machine)
This is because of the (in my opinion) extremely idiotic switch from a real, disk-based /tmp directory to a contrived tmpfs filesystem mounted at /tmp. They didn't bother telling you they were going to do this unless you read the release notes carefully, they just did it.
The system, by default, sucks up 50% of your RAM to commit to this harebrained concept of using a memory-based /tmp. So, your /tmp is only 50% of the size of your RAM, and half your RAM is committed to this moronic concept. I don't want half my RAM used for this.
The excuse offered by the creators of this lunacy is to the effect that "applications are supposed to use /var/tmp instead." The vast majority don't. End of story. This tmpfs-on-/tmp stuff has broken far more applications than I care to count.
The fix is to "systemctl mask tmp.mount" and reboot your system. This will leave /tmp pointing at your hard disk. I've done it on all my systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Polygon: A dead parrot (With apologies to John Cleese) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
