I have had this problem resolved in the last week after submitting a bug report to the k3b developer (Sebastian Trueg). I was able to narrow the problem to k3b due to changing my CDRW to a DVDRW drive on my PC.
Apparently there was a problem with the way k3b was communicating with the hardware (SCSI commands) and this showed up only on some hardware hence not everyone experienced it. Ubuntu currently provides version 0.12 of k3b in the repositories. I was instructed to compile the latest version (V1.0) of k3b and this continued to have the same problem. I was then sent a patch which fixed the problem - I can now run k3b reliably. The latest version of k3b now has this patch (v1.0.1) and this can be found here: http://k3b.plainblack.com/download Instructions on compiling are provided from this page and I have compiled and used k3b successfully in Ubuntu 6.06. I would recommend this is tried to see if the bug is resolved. -- k3b locks up on searching for devices after running app 1st time on 2.6.12-10-686-smp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26572 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
