Running K3B 2.0.2 KDE 4.12.1 from Arch Linux packages, I can reproduce this bug. It confused me considerably the first time it happened to me. To elaborate on the above description, my steps to reproduce this bug are: 1. Insert a non-empty DVD-RW into your DVD±RW drive. 2. In K3B, prepare something to burn, ensure your non-empty DVD-RW is selected, and start the burn. It does not matter whether it is an ISO image, a data project, or anything else; as long as it shows the "Found sequential DVD-RW medium in <DRIVE NAME>. Should it be formatted?" dialog box, it will show the bug. 3. Click "Format" on the aforementioned dialog box. 4. When the format completes, it erroneously claims "Erasing failed." and ejects the DVD-RW. As a workaround, close the "Erasing failed." dialog box, reload the DVD, wait for it to detect the now-blank DVD-RW. Since the failure message was incorrect, it will proceed to burn successfully. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Dear Bug Submitter, This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! With K3B 18.12.1 on Arch Linux, I can no longer reproduce this bug. |
