Public bug reported: Binary package hint: k3b
Hi, When burning ISO images to CD using K3B the process sometimes hangs right at the beginning, before "Starting disc write" is displayed in the progress window. When the hang occurs, I am unable to dismount the blank CDR and have to reboot the machine in order to open the CDR drawer. This happens about once in every 4 attempts to burn ISO images. I usually have Firefox and VMWare Wkstn 5.5 running at the same time, Firefox often hangs temporarily when this error occurs, VMWare crashes completely. I am using K3B on an HP nx9420 running Ubuntu Feisty with the latest updates. The log from a successful ISO image burn is included below for your reference - please let me know what further info you need to look into the problem. Thanks.
