Package: k3b
Version: 25.04.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I've encountered an issue using K3B after install. However, I was able to resolve it with some searching about for solutions to errors. I don't imagine this is intended behavior for this package.
* What led up to the situation?
I installed K3B via apt to write an ISO to disc. Upon launch, K3B could not find cdrecord.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I searched for cdrecord in apt, but did not find. Found that cdrecord was replaced by wodim. Searched/installed wodim via apt.
* What was the outcome of this action?
K3B no longer complained that it could not find cdrecord. However, upon starting to write an image to disc, K3B said that wodim and cdrdao did not have permissions to use the drive. Running chmod 4711 on each of them
allowed K3B to successfully write an ISO to disc.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Writing an ISO to disc. Success! It seems that apt for whatever reason did not install wodim as a dependency on its own for k3b and permissions needed changed for the wodim package so it may be executed properly.
Thanks!
Devon
