Hi,
I recently installed OpenSuse 11.1 (i586) on a new laptop (HP 6710b)
all has been going well, until I tried to burn audio CDs with K3B using
.wav files in a directory in the format 01.wav 02.wav 03.wav etc.
To burn the audio CDs I have been running K3B as root to avoid any
potential permission issues. I now have a stack of cd ‘coasters’ with
only one lucky success using the command line, which when the exact
command was repeated failed again.
I have successfully burnt 2 data DVDs using K3B, one as root the second
as user, both without problem - so maybe it is not a permissions
problem?
I am using K3b 1.0.5 in KDE 4.1.3. (it runs under KDE3)
I have not been able to run k3bsetup – it is not part of the
installation. However permissions appear correctly set-up – I also added
the appropriate users to the group “disk”.
/dev/cdrom lrw-rw---- root disk (just points to /dev/sr0)
/dev/sr0 -rw-rw---- root disk
/usr/bin/cdrecord lrwxr-xr-x root root (just points to
/usr/bin/wodim)
/usr/bin/wodim -rwxr-xr-x root root
K3b uses the executables in /usr/bin/x11/ which are just the same.
I have not put suid on anything. I tried running cdrecord as a user,
however the burn failed.
I checked the .wav files and they play fine in kaffeine.
I am using the same brand of blank CDs as the DVDs.
I have not had the occasion to try a data CD – I’ve run out of blank
disks for the moment.
K3b detects my DVD/CD burner as:
The system device is /dev/sr0
interface Generic SCSI
Vendor HL-DT-ST
Description DVDRAM GSA-T40L
Firmware KC07
I tried burning audio CDs in both TAO and DAO mode, neither with
success.
Here is an example shortened K3b output:

Similar result, sometimes it fails in track 2, sometimes it gets to the
end, but the CD won’t be readable in any player. I also tried different
.wav files with no success.
What’s going wrong?
Hope someone has some ideas.
Thanks in advance.
