I was getting a cdrecord error 255 using k3b, so I brought down one of my backups of cdrecord, this version

And everything works fine. The Fedora version was
[root@localhost root]# cdrecord --version Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a19 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jrg Schilling
Fedora has an experimental version, which does not work. I kept getting a cdrecord error 255 and a buffer underrun error. This should be fixed quickly, since cdrecord is used by everything. I have posted a number of messages on various sites asking about this. I found out why.
I too am getting this error on both my machines running FC1. I'm not really sure about how to cure it - any advice?
What are the steps to reproduce the error?
I get it whenever I try to burn a CD.
Since I can't reproduce it with cdrecord 2.01-0.a19.2 and k3b 0.10.2 from http://fedora.us, I conclude it is not a general problem, but could be specific to some CD-writer drivers in cdrecord.
You could query bugzilla.redhat.com on whether a problem with cdrecord has been reported already. You could also try whether cdrecord itself works for you when burning a CD at the command line. That would help in finding out whether it's a problem in cdrecord or a problem between k3b and cdrecord.
What version of k3b?
The one that I installed using synaptic:
1:0.10.3-1.xcyb.8.fc1
Side-note: the increase to Epoch 1 was not necessary. Be prepared that whenever there'll be an official k3b in Fedora Extras, that you may need to remove this package manually.
