SUMMARY K3b simply refuses to erase *any* of my CD-RWs. I have tried this with several CD-RWs, one of which has only been written once, so it isn't a matter of too many rewrites. I have done this many times before with no problems. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Insert an already burned CD-RW into drive 2. Setup a data project 3. Click on Burn 4. Confirm settings and start burning from the dialog box 5. K3b prompts that this CD-RW isn't empty and should be erased 6. Click erase 7. Erase instantly fails. OBSERVED RESULT K3b simply says erasing fails, and immediately ejects the CD-RW. EXPECTED RESULT K3b should erase the CD-RW, and then finish writing the project to the CD-RW. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 25.10 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kernel Version: 6.17.0-6-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have not tried this since my upgrade from Kubuntu 25.04 to Kubuntu 25.10. Maybe this is a packaging or dependency issue? Will try in a Kubuntu 25.04 VM later this week.
