Comment 5 for bug 103075

I have this problem. I had used k3b on this machine before without a hitch. Now this problem has arisen. It appears as though it may have arisen after upgrading from Xubuntu i686 12.10 to 13.04. I'm fairly certain I last used K3b to burn a CD without a problem before the upgrade. My hard disks have free space. The files are being copied from an external hard drive, over USB.

To confirm, when I try to write an audio disk, k3b says: "IO Error. Most likely no space left on harddisk."

dajero's suggestion looked right for me: k3b does say "no info" in the bottom right of the writing dialogue.

dajero's suggestion worked for me too. I created directory: /tmp/kde-username (where username is my username). I didn't even have to restart k3b. I just closed the last failed write window and clicked burn again. It immediately performed a successful burn.

The write window, however, still shows "no info" in the bottom left.

When the error occurs, k3b shows only the following debugging info:

Devices
-----------------------
SONY CD-RW CRX217E 1DS2 (/dev/sr0, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM) [CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW] [SAO, TAO, RAW, SAO/R96P, SAO/R96R, RAW/R16, RAW/R96P, RAW/R96R] [%7]

System
-----------------------
K3b Version: 2.0.2
KDE Version: 4.10.2
QT Version: 4.8.4
Kernel: 3.8.0-22-generic

There is another directory already in tmp with a similar name, created just a short while ago - possibly about the time I started k3b. It is a temp file of the same format as the one dajero said should be created, but with 6 random characters on the end: /tmp/kde-<username><5-random-characters>

I filed a bug report.
