Version: 0.12.14 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux See error shot. http://www.pine-kz.com/k3b.jpg I launched k3b from kterm (left above). Term showed inquiry error. and I saw device status in k3b. It's take 80 seconds. k3b showed media size was 0B and left size was 0B. but estimated size was 4.7GB! (see right below corner) The inserted media was double layer empty 8.5GB DVD. (The drive and medias are all OK in Windows2000) The other software inquired right infomations. See below. It's shows Free Blocks:4171104*2KB. pine@linux:~> dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 INQUIRY: [_NEC ][DVD_RW ND-4571A ][1-21] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 15h, DVD-R Dual Layer Sequential Media ID: MKM 01RD30 Current Write Speed: 6.1x1385=8467KB/s Write Speed #0: 6.1x1385=8467KB/s Write Speed #1: 5.1x1385=7056KB/s Write Speed #2: 4.1x1385=5645KB/s Write Speed #3: 3.1x1385=4234KB/s Write Speed #4: 2.0x1385=2822KB/s Write Speed #5: 1.0x1385=1411KB/s GET [CURRENT] PERFORMANCE: Write Performance: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s@[0 -> 450559] 6.0x1385=8310KB/s@[450560 -> 4171104] Speed Descriptor#0: 00/4171104 R@8.0x1385=11080KB/s W@6.0x1385=8310KB/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/4171104 R@5.0x1385=6925KB/s W@4.0x1385=5540KB/s Speed Descriptor#2: 00/4171104 R@5.0x1385=6925KB/s W@2.0x1385=2770KB/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#10h]: Media Book Type: 26h, DVD-R book [revision 6] Legacy lead-out at: 2092896*2KB=4286251008 READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 26h, DVD-R book [revision 6] Last border-out at: 2092896*2KB=4286251008 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: blank Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: empty Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: invisible incremental Track Start Address: 0*2KB Next Writable Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 4171104*2KB Track Size: 4171104*2KB READ CAPACITY: 0*2048=0
I set the permission of /dev/system to user readable one. Anyhow I could write DVD with k3b. http://www.pine-kz.com/k3b2.jpg But it seems to me some wrong process remains. Waiting for media takes over 4 minutes. I've never seen such a long time k3b sought medias. thanks.
Does k3b get the media size right now?
>Does k3b get the media size right now? no
please try k3b 0.12.15. SCSI device access has been improved.
Can you see the version of the screenshot in comment#1?
Sorry. Can you see the version of k3b in the screenshot of comment#1?
hmm.. did not see that before. I just read the version in the bug report. Too bad. Well, then we have to do some more digging. Can you please run k3b from a console, insert the problematic medium, right click the device, select "diskinfo" and send me the output on the console and a screenshot of the diskinfo to trueg@k3b.org
I thought the reason of success was to change the permission of /dev/system yesterday. That's wrong. Today,I saw the permission was auto-recovered. Though the permission was denied, writing succeeded. But all is slow. Diskinfo takes 80 seconds. Data preparation takes 2minutes &half. Waiting disk and burning start is more 1 minutes &half later. It takes 4 minutes to start burning. I'll send you a screenshot.
All I can say is that you can trust me with an ssh account but that does not say much really. ;)
All that you say is that is nuisance what you don't want. I can't lie awake when most of japanese sleep.
I lost track of this one. Did we fix that?
I'm now using k3B 0.12.17 (KDE3.5.5 release 45.1). It's also take 82seconds to show disk info.
K3b 1.0beta1 does it another way. It checks the medium in the background. Could you please try that and see if it is more usable?
In an attempt to clean up old bugs that are not valid for K3b 2.0 (=KDE SC 4.x port) anymore, this is now being marked as UNMAINTAINED. If this bug is still valid for 2.0, please reopen it.
