anyone familiar with k3b in Fedora?

[Dave Stevens]

I have a Lite-on DVDRW LDW 411S CD and DVD burner and could not find a working 
CD burner in the default set of FC1 packages. I am trying to use k3b. The 
user interface is very nice, but for some perverse reason it doesn't actually 
write anything on the CD. I am trying to make a copy of some music and have 
tried burning an audio cd from ripped mp3s and no joy.

ideas?

AFAIK cdrecord burns DVD-RW and DVD+RW... (not that I've tried)

You have the mp3 codec installed?

As root, try a  'cdrecord --scanbus'  and see if it finds your drive. If 
you added the drive after you installed FC1, you will need to add 
'hdX=ide-scsi' to your kernel line in /etc/grub.conf (replace the X with 
the letter of your drive). My burner is an IDE secondary slave (hdd), 
and my kernel line looks like this:

    kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2140.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi rhgb

What is the output of :
cdrecord -scanbus
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI:
cat /proc/cmdline
?

Maybe the permissions on your devices or to cdrecord/readcd/cdrdao are wrong. 
You could try to run K3b as root and see if it helps.


Mihai, happy K3b user

AW: anyone familiar with k3b in Fedora?

k3b is a good choice but a little bit tricky, specially if you just use
gnome...(see permissions). Usually it is what is already mentioned, as
cdrecord doesn't work properly with atapi-cdrom. That's why you should
enter hdX=ide-scsi in your /etc/grub.conf as mentionned

Cdrecord needs root-privileges
to burn cd's. That's why there is a
program there after installation called k3bsetup. You should run this,
this corrects the privileges for you. Runs best under kde...hard to do,
if you just have gnome installed...

Roger
Also happy k3b-user without mouse, cause not working *g*

I am also having trouble with k3b finding my burner.
I'm running FC1, KDE 3.1.
My system plays streaming audio, but doesn't play audio cd's nor will it mount 
/dev/cdrom.
Running k3b as root does not help.

I have solved this issue.  FC1 mistakenly symlinked /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdd, 
when it should have been linked to /dev/scd0.

To use K3b, you first have to run k3bsetup utility as root to configure 
it.  I didn't have to change anything from my default install of fedora, 
other than run k3bsetup.

open a shell, then su to root, then run open the setup util:
$ su
# kcmshell k3bsetup2

When this opens, verify your drive is listed, and hit ok.
This fixed all problems I had with k3b.

Not sure about the mp3 thing...
I suggest making sure that lame and xmms-mp3 are installed.. other than 
that, you should be ok.  (If it fails to install by simply "yum install 
lame xmms-mp3" as root, then check out http://rpm.livna.org/ for more info.

HTH,
John

If you've got the k3b 0.10.2 package from fedora.us, it's built without mp3
support just like the rest of Fedora Core or Extras. But the newer version
of k3b at rpm.livna.org comes with a k3b-mp3 package which adds the mp3
codec plug-in.

If anyone wants to try k3b 0.11.1, it's in the package queue with one
approval:  https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1106

Alternatively, try Mihai Maties' k3b package, which is linked from the
k3b page. Don't remember any other sources for k3b packages.

Packages from where? One reason can be an incorrectly set up k3bsetup2.
With the package from rpm.livna.org or fedora.us, k3bsetup2 is in the
"More System Tools" and KDE Control Centre "System Administration"
menu.

Btw, you don't need to su to root permanently to set up k3b. The
menu entries would run "kdesu" for the k3bsetup session.

I'm experiencing the same behavior... kcmshell k3bsetup2 dies with the
same error message. I downloaded k3b 0.11.1 from the k3b web site and
compiled it myself.

It seems to me, that you let k3b/k3bsetup under gnome. I was
told, that
kdelibs are sufficiant to run k3bsetup. But finally it worked, when i
installed the whole kde and runned k3bsetup under kde itself. I know,
this costs much of diskspace...

No, I don't use GNOME... I have *all* KDE packages (kdelibs, kdebase,
kdeadmin, kdeutils, kdegames, kdenetwork, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia(
compiled and install by myself (I'm running KDE 3.1.5).

Don't know what's going on...

	I have both GNOME and KDE installed but don't run them.  I use Xfce4
<http://www.xfce.org> and life is good.  I think I will try building k3b
from source, though, using the checkinstall utility to make an rpm out
of it.  That might be best.

Don't. :)  Get my src.rpm, it gets the set-up right.

Does this also work (k3bsetup) if you just have gnome installed? the old
version didn't work just with kdelibs for me...

	Thanks.

Man, Bugzilla really is a pain.  It took me three searches through this
page to fund where the heck the src.rpm could be downloaded from.  I
wish they'd have made it more user friendly.

	Follow-up: I built the src.rpm and installed it.  When I run k3bsetup I
get this error (which is the same one I got before)...

# k3bsetup 
kbuildsycoca running...
QMutex::unlock: unlock from different thread than locker
                was locked by 0, unlock attempt from -1084905536
[root@emperor root]# Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy

(The last line pops up a few moments after the prompt does)

Anyone have any clues?

Log out [of Xfce] completely, there shouldn't be any KDE related processes
running, log back in. The '#' suggests you have su'ed to root. Run
"rm -rf /root/.kde /root/.qt", then change back to your normal user
account. Run "k3bsetup" in an X terminal. What do you get?

Which is the case when the kcontrol component k3bsetup2 can't be found.

As a second reply, if you can't get the KDE core system to see the
k3bsetup kcontrol component, try this as root:

ln -s /usr/share/applications/kde-k3bsetup2.desktop /var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/System
ln -s /usr/share/applications/kde-k3bsetup2.desktop
/var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/System/MoreSystem

xcdroast should work fine.  I would recomend playing with cdrecord from 
the command line first to get a handle on where your cd device is and how 
it works...

cdrecord -scanbus

would tell you where your cdwriter is...

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 something.iso

would burn a cd, from an iso to the first scsi/atapi cd device.

after those two the mkisofs and cdrecord manpages are a good place to look 
for info and more debuging information.

This is good advise I personally prefered roxio6 but since that dont
work in linux I decided to try a few apps and quite frankly if found
Xcdroast to be a dog it is very unuser friendly I cant get it to write
any of my images saved on the server and ordinary file selection was
difficult, Look maybe I just dont know how to use it, I just found the
cdrecord from command line was better. I installed K3B and all the
dependancies and devel packages from freshrpms and I only use it for
making audio CDs.
I have tested it thoroughly and it is the roxio for linux.Best thing is
I never had to configure it.

Cheers

freshrpms doesn't have k3b, so please get any dependencies from
the place where you've got k3b from, e.g. livna.org and fedora.us
(and of course Fedora Core)

"devel" packages are for software development, e.g. compiling programs.
end-users don't need them usually.
