I use k3b to burn CD-R and CD-RW media on my CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) box. Does not have a DVD burner, so I can't speak to burning DVD media with k3b. I do not see those issues. However, when I began having a variety of problems with this box, about 2 weeks ago, one of the symptoms was that k3b did not see media in the drive. There were also other symptoms, unrelated to k3b. Following my own advice, which I'd given to someone on the list, I opened the box and pushed down on all the connectors, RAM, etc. Poof..... All of the symptoms have gone away, and stayed away, with the exception of the 4 Diagnostic Lights on the motherboard are Yellow, undocumented, but apparently means mobo is damaged. Bottom line is I suggest that you open the box, and push down on all the connectors, RAM, etc. GL & Happy New Year! _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
