[Debburn-devel] 20090510DK -- K3B Problem Report

Hi,

If it is already formatted as single
.iso image file on disk, then K3B might
be somewhat overdressed. :)

That should fit on a CD-R or CD-RW if
it is labeled "700 MB". That's the
usual size with "4x-12x" media.

Looks strange. It does _not_ mean your
media capacity is too small.

"CDB:" shows the first WRITE command of the new track.
"Cannot allocate memory" ... that is neither an SCSI
error text nor can i find it in /usr/include.
The data chunk to be transfered is 62 kB.
I would assume your system still has enough free virtual
memory for that. (Eventually check by shell command "free")

I assume that's the one at /dev/sr0.
The other two should be P-ATA attached drives.

Looks ok so far. At least with CD that should
work fine.

I propose you try some other command line tools.
If they don't work either then you have a problem
with your system. We'll see.

For DVD/BD only:
  growisofs -dvd-compat -use-the-force-luke \
    -Z /dev/sr0=/home/bruce/BMacDnLd/K810IbexISO/kubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso

or for CD/DVD/BD:
  cdrskin -v dev=8,0,0 -eject padsize=300k \
    /home/bruce/BMacDnLd/K810IbexISO/kubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso

or for CD/DVD/BD:
  xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 -eject padsize=300k \
    /home/bruce/BMacDnLd/K810IbexISO/kubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso

With growisofs and xorriso try first by
  eject /dev/sr0
whether that address leads to your burner.
If not, get a list of drive addresses by:
  cdrskin --devices
or
  xorriso -devices


Have a nice day :)
