Unable to find dvd+rw-format executable
I have read the threads at k3b on this matter but am still unable to use k3b with confidence. Have 4 dvd-r coasters already.
So hopefully someone here can assist in getting me to burn dvd's ?????????
I'm running Mandrake 10 official at present.
So far I have:
k3b-0.11.1-15mdk libk3b1-0.11.1-15mdk k3b-dvd-0.11.13-0.1mdk dvd+rw-tools-5.20.4.10.8-0.1mdk cdrdao-1.1.8-2mdk cdrecord-2.01-0.a36.0.1mdk cdrecord-devel-2.01-0.a27.2mdk cdrecord-cdda2wav-2.01-0.a28.1mdk
plus these also in case I've missed something:
gstreamer-cdparanoia-0.6.4-4mdk xpcd-2.08-20mdk kdemultimedia-kscd-3.2-14mdk vcdimager-0.7.20-2mdk libcdio0-0.65-3mdk libvcd0-0.7.20-2mdk magicdev-1.1.5-6mdk libcddb-slave2_0-2.4.1.1-1mdk libkdemultimedia1-kscd-3.2-14mdk cdp-0.33-16mdk xcdroast-0.98-32.alpha15.1mdk.cae libcdda0-IIIa9.8-8mdk cdparanoia-IIIa9.8-8mdk gstreamer-cdplayer-0.6.4-4mdk cdialog-0.9b-4mdk nautilus-cd-burner-0.6.1-2mdk xpcd-gimp-2.08-20.1.100mdk
I have also checked to be sure that the read only option is unchecked.
So I still get the dreaded " Unable to find dvd+rw-format executable " even though I have done permissions as per the forum on k3b and changed them back again. I have also attempted to direct things with k3b-setup by trying to include the path " /usr/bin/dvd+rw-format " but it doesn't appear to stick.
I have also uninstalled versions that appeared not to match and installed packages specifically for Mandrake10 only.
k3b appears to start up more friendly as user [ using the CLI ] than it does as root, so I'm not sure what to make of that at present. ( Two logged strings as opposed to dozens as root. More GUI problems as root I think.)
So how do I get to burn data dvd's to dvd-r discs? - Er... hopefully using k3b?
What was happening to start me on the upgrade path was that k3b was writing nothing to the dvd-r disc but somehow cooking it anyway whilst xcdroast would get 3-4% along with the burning then simply stop and after a while eject the dvd suggesting it was done.
As said above, hopefully someone here knows where I'm messing up.

Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.
