Public bug reported: I am using Xubuntu 12.10 and I installed k3b, but when run it only says "No optical drive found. K3b did not find any optical device in your system." So it's pretty useless as a CD/DVDD-bruning application. In the terminal I get : QStringList Solid::Backends::UDisks::UDisksManager::allDevicesInternal() error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" Which led me to install the package "udisks" and everything ist fine.
Further investigation shows: k3b depends on libsolid4 which in turn only recommends udisks. Since libsolid4 was already installed previously without recommends udisks was not installed. Solution: installing udisks fixed the problem. Additional info: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 2) apt-cache policy k3b libsolid4 k3b: Installiert: 2.0.2-5ubuntu1 Kandidat: 2.0.2-5ubuntu1 Versionstabelle: *** 2.0.2-5ubuntu1 0 500 ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/mirror/linux/ubuntu/ quantal/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen: have k3b find the optical drives so that I can burn a CD. 4) What happened instead: k3b did not find any optical drives. Instead it showed a "System Configuration Problem": "No optical drive found. K3b did not find any optical device in your system."
