Description Piotr Mitas 2010-03-14 19:09:19 UTC
Version:           1.90.0 (using 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.33-gentoo

I have an appendable DVD-R with a 1.4 GB file on it. I want to write a 2GB file to this disc. K3B displays the writing window and then this: http://imagebin.ca/view/eIywHR.html. If I try writing a smaller file, it works fine.

I am having the very same problem on 1.91.0 (well I've been co-existing with it since I don't know which version and hoping it would get fixed soon but it wasn't the case. It happens on the very same hardware on both kubuntu (9.10 and now 10.04), Opensuse 11.2 and Sabayon and with different media. I get the very same dialog box asking me to insert a "suitable" media when the media is reported as appendable (and it indeed is) by k3b media info

this is the media info as reported by k3b
http://imagebin.ca/view/ishUFF.html

and this is the dialog box I get everytime I try to append data to the dvd
http://imagebin.ca/view/ir_Xs4k.html


The file size doesn't seem to matter with me.  Hope it gets fixed asap because right now I am left with either installing nero for linux or having to rely on Windows to burn data onto optical media and sometimes theres proble appending data onto media thats been burn on k3b and vice-versa.

could it have to do with the lack of enough disk space for the image of  
the data already on the dvd plus the data to be appended?

I tried to reproduce the bug recently, but I couldn't.
170MB free is not that much. I'd guess that it's too few space for an additional session.
Comment 6 Daniel Schröter 2010-05-26 13:08:43 UTC
I can see here the same bug as described above with version 1.91.0-rc2 from debian.

BTW: It's independent of DVD+R or DVD-R
