K3B is KDE-native application. As much as I love KDE, that much I hate K3B. It is very glitchy and unreliable.
This is one of the reasons I keep GNOME distro on my laptop: to use GNOME Baker.

Funny, I have found K3B to be more reliable than any Gnome burning program. I have had Brasero crash on trying to burn an *.iso when K3B burned it without incident.

OP, can you please stop w/ your lame self-promotion? lq is a support
forum, not your soap-box.


Cheers,
