[Bug 26572] Re: k3b locks up on searching for devices after running app 1st time on 2.6.12-10-686-smp

[emmakezza]

I have had this problem resolved in the last week after submitting a bug
report to the k3b developer (Sebastian Trueg). I was able to narrow the
problem to k3b due to changing my CDRW to a DVDRW drive on my PC.

Apparently there was a problem with the way k3b was communicating with
the hardware (SCSI commands) and this showed up only on some hardware
hence not everyone experienced it. Ubuntu currently provides version
0.12 of k3b in the repositories. I was instructed to compile the latest
version (V1.0) of k3b  and this continued to have the same problem. I
was then sent a patch which fixed the problem - I can now run k3b
reliably. The latest version of k3b now has this patch (v1.0.1) and this
can be found here:

Instructions on compiling are provided from this page and I have
compiled and used k3b successfully in Ubuntu 6.06. I would recommend
this is tried to see if the bug is resolved.
