Basil, what version of K3b are you using?  I'm using 2.0.1 and it works 
fine on the same platform as yours.  I've had a similar problem 
traceable to the permissions stuff found under Settings>Setup System 
Permissions. sometimes an update diddles those things.

At the K3bSetup page, my permissions are  660 on the device and 0755 on 
cdrdao and cdrecord  and growisof.  It recommends using 0666 on the 
device and 4711 on the cdrstuff.   I left mine alone and it seems to be 
working fine, so far.

Of course, it could be something as simple as your Writer simply crapped 
out.  Can you read cds and dvds?

One more question, are you still hanging out on the Suse list or did you 
jump ship after all that KDE mess, like I did?

Regards,
Richard
