Thanks for the reply. If the problem is social, and 6 years old, I'll despair of it ever being fixed.
Do you know of any source for a packaged fix for this? If no one else has done it, I will just package cdrecord into a .deb file, and install that. So, I will still be able to use kubuntu packages without worrying about kubuntu changes disabling k3b. Thanks. --- On Tue, 11/2/10, Schily <530...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > From: Schily <530...@bugs.launchpad.net> > Subject: [Bug 530141] Re: wodim fails to write iso files on DL media > To: a...@yahoo.com > Date: Tuesday, November 2, 2010, 4:56 AM > The problem you see, has a social > background and you need to find a way to > deal with the social problems introduced by Debian before > your technical problem > will be fixed.
