Version: 1.68.0 (using 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-020632-generic This problem happens white often, but not always. After finishing to prepare the image on disk I hear the cd drive start spinning and after a while stopping. Nothing will happen after that. I've tried TAO, DAO, different speeds and using cdrdao or cdrecord Running K3b from the terminal the last messages are the following: k3b(7888) K3b::DataJob::setupCdrecordJob: K3bQProcess::QProcess(0x0) k3b(7888) K3b::DataJob::setWriterJob: k3b(7888) K3b::DataJob::startWriterJob: k3b(7888) K3b::JobProgressDialog::slotNewTask: "Scrittura" k3b(7888) K3b::CdrecordWriter::start: ***** "cdrecord" parameters: k3b(7888) K3b::CdrecordWriter::start: "/usr/bin/wodim -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/sr0 speed=24 -sao driveropts=burnfree -overburn -data -tsize=348613s -" k3b(7888) K3b::JobProgressDialog::slotNewSubTask: "Preparazione del processo di scrittura..." k3b(7888) K3b::MediaCache::blockDevice: "/dev/sr0" k3b(7888) K3b::Device::HalConnection::lock: "/dev/sr0" k3b(7888) K3b::Process::start: k3b(7888) K3b::Process::start: started k3b(7888) K3b::DataJob::startPipe: k3b(7888) K3b::ActivePipe::open: (K3b::ActivePipe) successfully opened pipe. k3b(7888) K3b::ActivePipe::Private::run: (K3b::ActivePipe) writing from K3b::FileSplitter(0x3591ae8) to K3b::Process(0x34315c8) QIODevice::read: WriteOnly device k3b(7888) K3b::ActivePipe::Private::run: Read failed: "Errore sconosciuto" k3b(7888) K3b::ActivePipe::Private::run: Done: "write succcess" "read failed" (total bytes read/written: 0 / 0 ) k3b(7888) K3b::ActivePipe::Private::_k3b_close: k3b(7888) K3b::ActivePipe::close: k3b(7888) <unnamed>::splitOutput: (K3b::Process) found unfinished line: ' "Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ...

It seems that the problem does not happen when no image is created. In this case the terminal shows: k3b(7888) <unnamed>::splitOutput: (K3b::Process) found unfinished line: ' "Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ... " ' k3b(7888) <unnamed>::splitOutput: (K3b::Process) last char: ' " " ' k3b(7888) <unnamed>::splitOutput: (K3b::Process) joined line: ' "Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ... input buffer ready." ' k3b(7888) K3b::JobProgressDialog::slotNewSubTask: "Scrittura pregap" k3b(7888) K3b::CdrecordWriter::slotStdLine: (K3b::CdrecordWriter) writing track 1 of 1 tracks. k3b(7888) K3b::JobProgressDialog::slotNewSubTask: "Scrittura della traccia 1 di 1 in corso" k3b(7888) K3b::JobProgressDialog::slotNewSubTask: "Scrittura in corso" and all go smoothly till the end.
