Description Frank Griffin 2012-12-13 15:33:26 CET 
If you start k3b under current cauldron KDE, it comes up and tells you that there are no optical devices in the system (I actually have two).

If you start k3b under GNOME Classic on the same system, it sees both drives and recognizes any inserted disks.

Source RPM: k3b => kde

Comment 1 Perilio Castrol 2012-12-22 16:39:16 CET 
Yes, it says the following message:


No optical drive found.
K3b did not find any optical device in your system
Solution: Make sure HAL daemon is running, it is used by K3b for finding devices.


I haven't tested it under GNOME

Comment 2 Frank Griffin 2012-12-22 22:23:51 CET 
I think the message is outdated.  HAL is supposedly obsolete, and I haven't had it installed for awhile.  k3b has worked without it.
Comment 3 Perilio Castrol 2013-01-09 11:27:25 CET 
It is working well now. I'm burning a CD right now.
