Version: 1.0 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.2" , openSUSE 10.2) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.1-default I found this problem when burning ISO-Images to DVDs using K3b (it uses growisofs to do the work) with drive NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A: Burn process completes without any problems and DMA=ON, then K3b ejects and reloads the tray. I get an Error Message "Laufwerksklappe kann nicht geschlossen werden". Translation is something like this : "Tray cannot be closed" After this k3b continues, but from now on DMA is turned to OFF until next reboot.
Thank you for your bug report. The bug that you reported has been identified and has been fixed in the latest development (SVN) version of KDE. The bug report will be closed.
I'd like to reopen this bug. I'm experiencing a very similar one on 1.0.1 (KDE 3.5.1 level "a" SUSE 10.1) The only differences are the eject/reload: that doesn't happen. Upon completion of the recording, the DVD remains inside the recorder (Plextor PX716A), k3b keeps waiting... for something (since it reports a successful write) and (if verification is enabled), verification won't start. If verification is disabled, the dialog won't change the button from "cancel" to "close", though it will close when canceled. After that, k3b is partially locked up. It seems unable to perform any but the most simple GUI actions, even closing it fails (in any way... killall -9 k3b makes the process defunct, but not disappear from ps -A). The DVD works perfectly, both the disc and the drive, except... guess... DMA is off. 'hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc' fixes it though. I imagine there's a deadlock somewhere. Most recordings I do use cdrecord and growisofs, though both processes (cdrecord, growisofs, mkiso and so on) terminate correctly (they don't appear on a ps -A after the "lockup"). When I have the chance I'll try to post debug messages.
Ok... found interesting things: the bug doesn't happen if I: a) don't burn on-the-fly (check "create image") b) don't verify data c) don't eject the media after burning (checking the corresponding option) All a, b & c must be true for k3b to work alright. Which is good for me... now I can work. And it's good for you: you know where the problem is. I'd put my money on tray ejection. In fact, perhaps (I didn't try) k3b will work with only b & c. I'll try that next. BTW: In the conditions I mentioned, it works fine, even leaving DMA on. BTW2: I'm attaching the debug output, but I don't see anything of use.
Created attachment 20872 [details] Debug output of a crashed burning session.
Created attachment 20883 [details] Patch which gives growisofs a little time to settle down Please apply the attached patch and then try to force the dma off situation again. This is just a wild uneducated guess since I am a little lost here.
Well, no, it doesn't seem to have worked. I had to change the patch for it to build, BTW: QThread::Sleep() is protected, so I changed it by Sleep(). It took some time, because A) I got busy, B) I tried different ways of building (with/without stuff) and things like that, but nothing changed anything.

Created attachment 21276 [details] Better reload Please try this patch with K3b 1.0.3. It does only load instead of eject and load for a reload action. As always with this bug I am just trying stuff.
