Have k3b 1.0.4 running with KDE 3.5.8 (Debian Lenny/Sid). Whenever
I tell it to verify data after burning, it completes the burn, pops
open the CD tray, waits patiently until I push the tray back in.
Then it says "Verifying Track" and NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING HAPPENS.
The CD drive makes a few clicking noise, but no reading begins.
Just sits there doing nothing. If I flip to another desktop, the CD
icon shows up, can be mounted, opened, data read from it,
unmounted, ejected. And the whole time k3b sits there "verifying
data" but never reading anything.

Can't find a k3b bug database anywhere, but apparently this is well
documented amongst Ubuntu users in their forums.

Anything I can do about it?
This bug has been there quite a while. In my experience it only seems
to affect DVD's CD's write and verify for me just fine.
I have only a CD burner, although the drive is one of those combo drives
able to read DVDs.

Guess it's not going to get fixed ...

I don't know whether it's an Ubuntu issue, but I suspect not.

It's not an Ubuntu issue - I'm running Debian Etch Lenny/Sid.

I think that
most times I've heard of it the reporter has mentioned owning a combo drive
like yours. If you are able to put a standard DVD drive in I suspect the
problem will go away.

This is a laptop - I can't change out the drive. In fact, most laptops
I've run into included some kind of combo drive. So having this bug
around so long seems a little silly to me.

It certainly is fine on every system I've handled, but
I've never had a combo drive.

To make it weird, sometime back, there was a month or so when it
verified data just fine.

Oh, well!
