k3b won't write to appendable DVD

[Flavio Grassi]

Using Kubuntu 8.04.
No problem burning blank or appendable DVD's until last automatic update. Now will only succeed writing to empty media. At first asks for "Empty or appendable DVD" but after completing Iso image a window pops up requesting an empty dvd. Clicking "Force" button starts process and then fails. Below is the debugging output:

[goto (gotolaunchpad)]

I dunno if this has something to do with it, but in the log it says:
/dev/scd1: "Current Write Speed" is 16.4x1352KBps.
:-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/ASC=21h/ACQ=00h]: No space left on device
:-( write failed: No space left on device

So I'd check if you have enough space on the partitions left. Setting do k3b and incomplete.

The problem is just the incorrect reporting of no space left. I have replicated the problem with a number of DVD disks all with plenty of space left and the result is always the same. And, as I said in the initial report, it never happened before the most recent update. So it must be this update that broke it.

[goto (gotolaunchpad)]

And on your hard disc drive is also enough space left?

Found it.

Don't know if the upgrade had something to do with it but the problem was the Multisession mode setting got changed to "No multisession". My bad for not checking sooner. Just didn't think of it because I always leave it on the default "Auto" setting.
