[Bug 114210] k3b hangs on startup and cannot be killed

[vogelmann]

Public bug reported:

I am using Xubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).
When starting k3b, i get to see the starting screen but nothing else happens. Checking /var/log/messages, i get the following:

May 12 12:17:16 atropos kernel: [ 1417.433349] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
May 12 12:17:16 atropos kernel: [ 1417.433405] hdc: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

Those messages continue and the starting screen remains on the display,
as i am not able to kill the corresponding k3b-process:

r0bert at atropos:~$ ps -A | grep k3b
 9253 ?        00:00:00 k3b
r0bert at atropos:~$ sudo kill -9 9253
Password:
r0bert at atropos:~$ ps -A | grep k3b
 9253 ?        00:00:00 k3b

The only way I have found so far to get rid of this is to reboot the machine.
The following informations might be of relevance:

The problem did not occur in Xubuntu 6.04 (Dapper Drake).
