I had a typo and it bounced. ----- Forwarded message from Mail Delivery Subsystem ----- Maybe somebody can share some insights. k3b says that everything looks good, I can punch up the right places to read my DVD, but it refuses to burn. The first diagnostic says that /tmp/kde-k3d (?) didn't have enough room. This after the DVD was already read, which seems a bit strange.. So I moved the tmp space to /usr/tmp/kde-k3b. Again, it read the entire disc but again refused to write my blank disc. The diagnostics indicated that dd was faulting. So to be certain it wasn't a space issue I moved over to /storage/tmp/<> where I've got 93GB free. BZZZZT. SAme thing. I've chowned cdrecord and cdrdao suid . I understand octcal better than characters. But I did a chmod u+s on both binaries. If not right, what is thee character and the octal (please) to chmod a binary suid?? I just build k9copy and will try it. (i Have a few other questions related to this stuff, but first, I'd just like to get k3b working.) thanks, gary PS: the only new thing of note is that now k3b thinks my blank in "medium-sized" and asks me to insert a double. I can't figure out if there is anyplace to do any more configs. And my Memorex DVD-RW discs hold up to 360 minutes. Nutshell, I'm wedged. Or really, lost... . -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
