failure of gnome baker
In my updated debian i386 sqeeze/gnome and debian amd64 lenny/gnome i have no more workable cd-dvd burners. Gnome-baker reports burning (CD data disk) OK, however the CD is unreadable. In contrast, k3b works fine for both CD and DVD data disks. However, installation of k3b apt-get update apt-get install k3b brought other problems in: --command k3b also started the viewer VMD, which had to be closed twice in order that k3b could be used. --On restarting the computer, gnome could no more be called and a RedHat window was brought in instead. I liked gnome for years, and I use certain gnome-specific scientific applications, such as GChempain. However I notice now that KDE has a much more versatile burner (k3b), even if gnome baker could be used. Also the pdf viewer okular (better that Adobe for certain scientific uses) is part of KDE and alleviated from having to install Adobe. I believe that gnome developers should consider these observations. Lukily, okular can be used without problems even in gnome.

I use k3b in gnome under squeeze because it has features I need at times. You'll need to install a whack of kde depends along with it if you don't have something kde installed already but it works, at least for me. I have a few kde apps installed that I can't find gnome equivalents for and they work well. I've often thought that gnome could use a better or more full featured burning app. I rarely burn cd's any more so brasero may be a solution to but I haven't needed to use it so I can't say from experience. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
