OK, I have a strange problem with openSUSE 11.3 K3B and Nero will both find my CD drives after a reboot, but after the system has been running a while neither one can detect the drives. FWIW, I don’t have this problem in 11.4 M5. Any ideas?
What about elsewhere, or is it just k3b that can’t see them?
Good question. I’ll check it out. Nero has the same problem, I know that. Don’t know about other programs.
What I mean really is, can you navigate a CD in Dolphin.
And when you say it can’t find the drive. Do you mean it can’t see the media disc or that the hardware is not detected and you get an error in k3b
For example. What do you see here:

OK, what happens is one of two things; either the drives disappear from K3B, Nero and Dolphin, or K3B starts to launch and never finishes. In both cases, the optical drives disappear. They are IDE drives, jumpered master/slave. Stock 11.3 64-bit system, all updated. And as I said, these problems don’t exist in 11.4 M5. Thanks for the help!
Sometimes if they share a IDE cable, that can cause problems.
When you try launching k3b from the terminal, what do you get? (I mean when it’s crashing out)
I get this:
k3b

Does
dbus-launch k3b
Make k3b find the drive?
Still no love. Here’s the output:

OK, after this I tried running Nero. It won’t launch either, but the instance of K3B I started earlier then showed up.
