I use MEPIS Linux. It is debian based. A lot like kubuntu but I like MEPIS better than any other system. Been using MEPIS since 2004. I like KDE.

Recently I had troubles with K3b completing burns, getting the same errors as everyone else. I thought it was possibly a 'lemon' Lg burner... although I have always had great results with Lg.

 I have been building them for four years. MEPIS is installed on them all. Same K3b problem on all 4 computers in the house...I just didn't know as I don't use them all, just two of them, two of the computers I built, one Dell gx150 and an Hp athlon chip.

That's when I googled the error that K3b gave me. That's how I found this site.

i did some more research and found an answer.

Now K3b works again. All I did was choose DAO as an option rather than using AUTO. Some discs will be burnt as SAO but after I used DAO once and now it comes as the default setting. All my discs burn properly now. I can burn cd images or data dvds. No more silver coasters so it's good enough for me. Hope this helps some or all of you guys. Kerry
I found the answer at mepislovers forum where I like to spend time.
