(Solved) K3b can't detect blank CD.

Post by globetrotterdk »

I have been trying to burn a Salix KDE International Live 13.37 CD with K3b. I have blanked two CDs on my Salix64 KDE 13.37 system, and while the Salix64 KDE 13.37 system, as well as a newly installed Salix KDE 13.37 laptop system, detect the CDs, K3b does not when I try to burn the .iso file to the CDs. Both CDs were erased on my Salix64 KDE 13.37 system. If I try to erase them again, I get the following: "Found medium: Empty CD-RW medium Please insert a rewritable CD medium into drive:" (gui) Very strange.

Code: Select all

$ k3b(11907)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "view_projects" with KXMLGUIFactory! 
k3b(11907)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "view_dir_tree" with KXMLGUIFactory! 
k3b(11907)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "view_contents" with KXMLGUIFactory! 
k3b(11907)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "location_bar" with KXMLGUIFactory! 
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to QFrame "", which already has a layout
K3bQProcess::QProcess(0x0)
QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver

Does Salix KDE fit on a CD?

Yes.

Edit:
You may have something there. The non-live .iso images do, but 746 MB for the Salix64 is over the edge.

If you want a rescue disk, any edition will do. I also strongly recommend making a live USB, and then space isn't an issue. It's also more robust and you can set up persistent storage, allowing you to tailor the environment to your taste as well as transport data. Boots faster too.
