K3b reports error on start-up:
Unable to find the cdrecord executable. K3b uses cdrecord to actually write CDs. Solution: Install the cdrtools package, in which cdrecord is present.
cdrtools is absent from the repositories.
xorriso provides cdrecord.
Xorriso is installed, but K3b says “cdrecord not found”. The only way to burn a dvd is making/downloading an iso image with K3b and then the command:
xorriso -as xorrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=as_needed name_of_image.iso
On my machine, ‘rpm -ql xorriso’ shows that it provides /usr/bin/cdrecord.
/usr/bin/cdrecord is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/cdrecord.
That, in turn, is a symlink to /usr/bin/xorrecord
Perhaps setting those links up manually will make K3b happy?
(Just noticed this was the live media group… Not sure if that lets you change things, I’ve never run that way, my apologies if this is useless help)
