Is there a problem with k3b in 2008.1? I've just installed Mandriva on my
daughter's laptop and confidently told her to burn with k3b. She burned one,
the disc ejected, but didn't retract and the verify stuck there. The second
time she caught it as it ejected and pushed it in immediately it released.
It didn't verify. I changed the setting so that it wouldn't eject, but the
third burn didn't verify either.

That is, not that they gave a 'bad burn' but that it didn't even start to
verify.

Anyone know why or what I can do? It's most embarrassing. I told her that it
was so simple and reliable, but I'll not convince her if she can't verify her
backups.

Hmmm, IMHO, an old and longstanding bug in K3B and/or HALD and/or some
other component of KDE that (IIRC) you yourself once mentioned only
rarely afflicts users and then only users of certain hardware ...
anyway, me being one of the lucky victims of this bug (I was the one who
noticed that on my system K3B was burning track0 but then trying to
verify track1), the solution is to set K3B to NOT eject the disc after
burning. Then it goes ahead and verifies just fine. After the
verification is complete, you can eject the disc via K3B's menus/icons.

And, of course, after sending that, I read that Anne has already tried
that (don't eject disc setting) with no success ... but I still think
it's a bug in K3B! Anyone tried burning/verifying a disc with GNOME's
burning software (whatever it is) to see if the same problem occurs there?
