I tell it to verify data after burning, it completes the burn, pops

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.

I have a Slackware 12.0 box that has exhibited similar problems/issues.

The box has a Lite-on DVD/CD RW of fairly recent vintage and an old Sony CD RW
DVD read only.

Formerly, I used the Sony to write CD's which wrote and verified CD's. Now,
K3B now only wants to "see" the Lite-on Drive. It writes the CD but does not
follow through with the verify; not even showing the task in the progress
bars but giving me the wanh-wanh-wanh--waanh and a task (verify) failure.

Tough to nail down a date or a change since I do not burn that many CD's.
However, deep down I feel it dates to a series of Security Updates I
installed in the Nov-Dec time frame. I feel it is HAL/dbus related but
haven't dug to prove/disprove this.



Oh, well!

Oh well
