[Bug 574460] Re: akonadi not operational - no contacts shown in kontact

2010-09-29 Thread Erny Cowan
Well I've been fighting this for a month now, and the patch in post  #2 fixed 
it for me.
I had done a fresh install from a CD followed by whatever upgrades were 
suggested  by Synaptic.
I don't know what else the support people need. But then if i did, I'd probably 
be looking to join the team.
Please fix thmX1GGjis properly.

I have a very similar problem.
I'm running jaunty with growisofs 7.1.

sudo dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr1

I can burn CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R DL. But when I try DVD-R DL I get

e...@mitchell:~$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr1=/home/erny/tmp/xyz.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=/home/erny/tmp/xyz.iso of=/dev/sr1 obs=32k seek=0'
:-[ READ DVD STRUCTURE #10h failed with SK=8h/ASC=ABh/ACQ=80h]: Input/output 
error

The drive can burn DVD-R DL when I use Nero on Windows Pro 2000.

I hope this helps. It looks like many others are having similar
problems. - Erny
