Public bug reported: I have a new error starting K3b on ubuntu 17.04 Zesty. K3B works fine on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial
Unable to find cdrecord executable K3b uses cdrecord to actually write CDs. Solution: Install the cdrtools package which contains cdrecord. corrado@corrado-z-feb27:~$ apt-cache policy cdrtool* cdrtools-doc: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: corrado@corrado-z-feb27:~$ apt-cache policy cdrecor* cdrecord: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: corrado@corrado-z-feb27:~$ uname -a Linux corrado-z-feb27 4.10.0-15-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 24 17:51:38 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux corrado@corrado-z-feb27:~$ K3b just installed using Synaptic Commit Log for Fri Apr 7 06:48:15 2017 Installed the following packages: catdoc (1:0.94.3~git20160113.dbc9ec6+dfsg-1) cdparanoia (3.10.2+debian-11) cdrdao (1:1.2.3-3) cdrskin (1.4.6-1) dvd+rw-tools (7.1-11.1) growisofs (7.1-11.1) k3b (2.0.3a+git20170325-0ubuntu1) k3b-data (2.0.3a+git20170325-0ubuntu1) libburn4 (1.4.6-1) libepub0 (0.2.2-4build1) libflac++6v5 (1.3.2-1) libiso9660-8 (0.83-4.2ubuntu1) libk3b7 (2.0.3a+git20170325-0ubuntu1) libk3b7-extracodecs (2.0.3a+git20170325-0ubuntu1) libkf5bookmarks-data (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5bookmarks5 (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5cddb5 (4:16.12.3-0ubuntu1) libkf5filemetadata-bin (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5filemetadata-data (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5filemetadata3 (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5kcmutils-data (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5kcmutils5 (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5kiofilewidgets5 (5.31.0-0ubuntu2) libkf5newstuff-data (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5newstuff5 (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5newstuffcore5 (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5notifyconfig-data (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libkf5notifyconfig5 (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) libmusicbrainz5cc2v5 (5.1.0+git20150707-6) libperl4-corelibs-perl (0.003-2) libqt5quickwidgets5 (5.7.1-1ubuntu1~7) libvcdinfo0 (0.7.24+dfsg-0.2) libzip4 (1.1.2-1.1) qml-module-org-kde-newstuff (5.31.0-0ubuntu1) vcdimager (0.7.24+dfsg-0.2) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: k3b 2.0.3a+git20170325-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-15.17-generic 4.10.5 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.4-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity:Unity7 Date: Fri Apr 7 08:17:17 2017 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/k3b InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-02-27 (38 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20170227) SourcePackage: k3b UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: k3b (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug zesty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1680711 Title: Unable to find cdrecord executable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/1680711/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
