Several weeks ago my motherboard died. Before that I was running K3B without difficulty. The new motherboard required a complete clean rebuild. I am using Mandrake 10 with a repatched kernel 2.6.3-16mdk. Regardless of wherthe I boot into thd original (2.6.3-7mdk) or the later one. K3B fails
showing the following sequence:

Size calculated 205809 blocks

Please send me an mail........

I can see the 'complaints' in the cdrecord section above but don't know enough for a Eureka moment. Help would be most welcome.

ok so i had this annoying thing first you must go into the settings and click on the setup system permissions.after click on your device and the rest of you options and click apply if it gives you another error try it again but instead open a terminal and sudo k3b to run k3b as root then do the same steps as above and hopefully that will get it working without errors it helped me XD
