[Bug 102316] Re: K3B disables DMA

[Gianluca Varisco]

Normally you have DMA enabled, isn't true?

According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA :

# See the what the settings are on /dev/hdc (where hdc is usually the
CD-rom drive)

    * sudo hdparm /dev/hdc
      
# If you get a line like  using_dma    =  1 (on), DMA is already enabled.

I'm looking at k3b sources and I see this:

#: k3bsystemproblemdialog.cpp:467
msgid "DMA disabled on device %1 - %2"

#: k3bsystemproblemdialog.cpp:471
msgid "Enable DMA temporarily as root with 'hdparm -d 1 %1'."

So you have to enable, as root, DMA by typing:  sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc
