K3B in 13.1 fixed?

If you mean the never-ending-after-reaching-99%-complete thing, it seems to be solved indeed.

I haven't had this kind of problem anymore with K3B in Slack 13.1, though I prefer burning ISO images via CLI.

I download the source for k3b and recompile using src2pkg. This way allows k3b to take advantage of various libraries that are not included with stock Slackware.

To mlangdn: Did you use any flag/option to build k3b from source?

... and which libraries?

mlangdn · 05-31-2010, 08:48 PM

Stuff like ffmpeg, libdvdread, libdvdcss, etc. K3b will find these on a build from source. The options are already in the CMakeLists.txt.
I just use:

Code:

src2pkg k3b-xxx.bz2

All the options from CMakeLists are compiled in. You can't get that with stock Slackware. None of those libraries are included. After I was done, I popped in a Martina McBride DVD and k3b recognized the dvd and was ready for ripping or copying. I use it to make backups to preserve the originals.

Can anyone tell for sure it's the k3b problem, not cdrecord/growisofs ?

There were some errors when I tried to compile.

I tried this (see below) to exclude ffmpeg, and it worked.

i'm using k3b provided in 13.1 and it works fine here
i have been burning CD/DVDs without any problem at all

mlangdn · 06-04-2010, 01:56 AM

I compiled k3b-1.92.Orc2.bz2 without errors. I used ffmpeg from Alien Bob's repository.

I gave up trying to trust K3B not to coaster images.

I just wanted to mention that you can also use cdrecord to burn DVD iso images. I burned the Slackware 13.1 64bit DVD using cdrecord.

I can now tell that my first DVD-write using k3b from Slackware64 13.1, freshly installed on the new PC with default settings was perfect.
And fast, mere 4.5 min !

My experience has been the exact opposite. Worked great in 13.0, upgraded to 13.1, can't write anymore.

Just curious: did you install the upgrade to K3b in the /patches directory of your favorite mirror?

From the changelog:

Mon Jun 28 18:56:29 UTC 2010
patches/packages/k3b-2.0.0-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded.
It's not too late to get the stable k3b release into Slackware 13.1, right?

I've not had a problem so far ripping CDs, but I haven't tried anything with DVDs yet.

Regards,

Are you sure ? This is VERY strange as problems with k3b in 13.0 (KDE4) are known and were discussed extensively. Did yo try low speed or kde3-compat (from 'extra') ?

I have installed the patch.

So far, I've tried the following.

Burning a DVD Video to a DVD-R, does not work. It says the format is incompatible.
Burning a DVD Video to a DVD+R, is working...but I would barely. I'm averaging 0.5x burning speed. Burning a full DVD has taken 1 hour and 23 minutes to get to 88% so far. I don't know if it will work when I pull it out and try it though.
Burning data to a DVD-R, does not work at all.
Burning data to a DVD+R is great. Burned a full disk in 20 minutes(2.4x speed).

In Slackware64, 13.0, I burned literally hundreds of DVD video type DVDs to DVD-R and it only took 15-20 minutes per disk. Now it seems DVD-R can't be written as DVD-Video, or data, disks with K3B.

Interestingly, while burning the software, and hardware, buffer do not stay pinned at 100% anymore when burning to a DVD+R, they are both going up and down like crazy. Burning data, both buffers stay at 100%.

Do you have access to another optical drive to swap out and try? It could be an optical drive going south.
