Re: K3b - various troubles
I also have problems with k3b; it doesn't work at all for me. When I
open it up, as either root or a normal user, the interface screen
appears. But when I move the mouse to any of the options, such as New
Data CD (or any of the others), nothing happens when I click. The
mouse, and keyboard, have no effect on anything in the screen; it is
completely unresponsive. I've tried running k3bset, but that doesn't
help.
I do find various messages on the terminal. Sometimes I only get:
k3b: WARNING: KGenericFactory: instance requested but no instance
name or about data passed to the constructor!
Other times I get the following:
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
kbuildsycoca running...
Reusing existing ksycoca
kbuildsycoca: WARNING: 'OpenOffice.org1.1/math.desktop' specifies
undefined mimetype/servicetype
'application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.math'
(Lines similar to this last line go on for a very long time)
I get the above messages also when trying to run k3bsetup.
After I eventually get out by ctrl-c, I get a message on the terminal:
Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 5076, errno = 0
I have completely deleted k3b and reinstalled it a couple of times, to
no avail. dpkg -l |grep k3b gives me:
ii k3b 0.11.20-1 A sophisticated KDE cd burning application
ii k3b-i18n 0.11-2 Internationalized (i18n) files for k3b
ii k3blibs 0.11.20-1 The KDE cd burning application library - run
dpkg -l |grep kde gives me:
ii kdebase-bin 3.3.2-1 KDE Base (binaries)
ii kdebase-data 3.3.2-1 KDE Base (shared data)
ii kdelibs-bin 3.3.2-2 KDE core binaries
ii kdelibs-data 3.3.2-2 KDE core shared data
ii kdelibs4 3.3.2-2 KDE core libraries
In my apt.sources I have
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main contrib non-free
Any suggestions as to what my problem is?
Thanks,
Ric
