Version: 0.11 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: delletje:~ # gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.1/specs Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada --disable-checking --enable-libgcj --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ --with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit i586-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux Starting k3b on my system causes the application to hang in a uninterruptable sleep state when detecting the drives. Application will never terminate, can not be killed even with kill -9. /var/log/messages reports:kernel: ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data. Although this is probably a kernel error of some kind, it might be nice to have k3b degrade more elegantly on this error, as having to reboot a machine to kill of an application is not very nice. =)
use k3b 0.11.6 and if you are running kernel 2.6.x make sure it's at least 2.6.4
I have almost the same problem. Gentoo, kde 3.2.1, k3b 0.11.6 and 2.6.3-gentoo-r2 kernel and the system hangs. (hard have to hit reset button) So similary problem here, more serious. Going to see if I can find a 2.6.4 kernel and test with that.
Found the problem. It appears that the ide-scsi emulation was causing the lockup. I disabled it and everything works on 2.6.3 now.
Upgrading to 2.6.4 & k3b 0.11.6 solved the problem. Thanks for the great program, Sebastian, I think it's one of the leading programs in KDE regarding useability and appearance. Cheers!
