k3b sucks

dodo1983 · 06-05-2004, 10:32 AM

My CD-burning machine k3b in MandrakeLinux 10.0 freezes my computer if I want to open it.
Please help.
Thank you

start it from a terminal so that you can see the possible error messages it gives...write them down & post here, or optionally check out some or all of these logfiles (all should be found in /var/log/) and if you see any traces of k3b's errors in there, post here:

/var/log/errors
/var/log/messages
some k3b's own logfile, if it creates one...

Hello bOuncer

I tryed in Shell to give the informations you told me; as root and other.

/var/log/messages permission denied
/var/log/errors no such file or directory

I realy don't know very much about. Please make it clearer for me if possible.
Thank you
