You have been subscribed to a public bug: Whenever I try to burn a data DVD disc, k3b uses auto to set speed and I must manually set it to 12x or k3b does not try to write disc. I have the latest firware in drive (1.11 I believe), but I have always had problems with burning dvd's with this drive.
Not that the drive may be malfuctioning, but that it is ALWAYS been slow burning dvds. I read somewhere a long time ago that plextor doesn't like the idea of free software, but don't know how valid it was. It takes me 20-30 mins to burn a data DVD (dvd5-4.4gigs). On Maxtor 16x dvd5 media. I think back when I was using edgy, I download some kind of plextor tools for these problems, but can't remember. The drive is set to IDE master (with no other optical drive on cable pata) on a i865 intel chipset. ** Affects: k3b (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- k3b in kubuntu 8.10 freezes at 16x and does not trottle down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to k3b in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
