What update?

13.2 is out of support since 2 weeks and doesn’t get any updates any more.

Your output may suggest that it is a hardware problem though, e.g. a bad medium:

cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error
CDB: 2A 00 00 00 AB B6 00 00 1F 00
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)

Sense Code: 0x00 Qual 0x03 (setmark detected) Fru 0x0
Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) 
cmd finished after 0.477s timeout 40s
cdrecord: A write error occured.
cdrecord: Please properly read the error message above.

OTOH, I also see this:

cdrecord: Insufficient 'file read' privileges. You will not be able to open all needed devices.
cdrecord: Insufficient 'file write' privileges. You will not be able to open all needed devices.
cdrecord: Insufficient 'device' privileges. You may not be able to send all needed SCSI commands, this my cause various unexplainable problems.

So maybe try to add your user to the “cdrom” group.
Although that shouldn’t be necessary normally, as logind should give you the necessary privileges on login. (maybe that’s where your problem lies?)

Actually, both 13.2 and 13.1 are still getting Packman updates.:wink:

4

That’s irrelevant here though (cdrecord is not available from Packman), and the last updates were just rebuilds anyway, no “real” updates.

Also, the Packman repos for 13.1 and 13.2 are going to be disabled now:

Okay.

Thought the OP was referring to K3B, which on my system is from Packman.:slight_smile:

6

Yes, but k3b is just a frontend and uses other programs to do the actual work.

Also, k3b has not been updated either since quite a while. Packman’s package is just a link to openSUSE’s (built with additional mp3 support).

7

The CDROM drive works fine under windows 7, so I believe it is software related. It looks like OpenSUSE 13.2 is no longer being supported. Several of the registries I have been using are gone. How do I make the move over to Tumble Weed with out re-installing the entire OS?

8

I found the instructions here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_upgrade
Sorry for the dumb question. I will let you know if this fixes K3B.

9

Well, it could be a driver issue, or it could be a single bad disc.

But probably more likely a permission problem as I mentioned later.

It looks like OpenSUSE 13.2 is no longer being supported. Several of the registries I have been using are gone.

I suppose you mean “repositories”… :wink:

But yes, 13.2 is out of support since 3 weeks, see Lifetime - openSUSE Wiki .

How do I make the move over to Tumble Weed with out re-installing the entire OS?

Note though that Tumbleweed is a rolling distribution, i.e. it changes all the time and always gets the latest versions of software (including the kernel).

If you prefer a “stable”/fixed distribution like 13.2 and earlier, better upgrade to Leap.

10

Well, I tried to do an update to Tumbleweed, that did not work. So far I have never had any success trying to update an OS in OpenSUSE. So, I did an install of Tumbleweed which was a 98% successful. K3B works fine burning CD’s in Tumbleweed. Apparently the new AMD drivers for the Radeon HD6000 series chip set is not stable in Tumbleweed. I get flickering when I run programs in WINE and then it crashes the application. I cannot find a fix for this. I have tried Leap 42 and many of the programs I like, such as picture of the day, are not part of the KDE desktop. Overall I think Leap 42 was a step backwards from 13.2. I wish the people running SUSE 13.2 would not have remove the repositories I was using. SUSE 13.2 was very stable and I really hate being forced to change my preferred Linux OS flavor simply because it is not the latest and greatest revision. After looking around Ubuntu has better AMD driver support so It looks like I will be leaving SUSE. I was not as happy with the options in the KDE desktop on Ubuntu but stability is more important then eye candy. Maybe Leap 43 will include all the flexibility and stability of 13.2 and I will come back. Until then, Thank You everyone for all the great support and help through the years.

What programs are you missing?
“picture of the day” is not a “program”, but a desktop applet/widget.
And I think it has been re-added in the latest Plasma 5.9.0 (released last week), you could install that on 42.2 too by adding additional repos.

Plasma5 has been a major rework from the KDE4 version, not everything has been ported (yet) and may reappear in future versions, and some things were dropped on purpose.

Though “many of the programs” are missing is a bit overexaggerated though I suppose.

Some (3rd party) widgets are also available in the “KDE store”, which you can reach via the “Get New” buttons (in the Add Widgets dialog in this case), the “discover” application, or just a web browser (https://store.kde.org/)…

I wish the people running SUSE 13.2 would not have remove the repositories I was using.

The “people running SUSE 13.2” have not removed the repositories you were using.
The people that created/maintained those additional repositories in the first place have.

Note that there is no “SUSE 13.2”, you are talking about openSUSE and 3rd party repos, which is/are created and maintained by the community (and to a large part by volunteers in their spare time) and is available for free.

And this is open source anyway.
You can always build stuff you need yourself (you can even create your own repos on OBS), also for no longer supported openSUSE versions.
