I thought... When I connect everything as described, insert an empty DVD and start k3b, an error message is displayed saying that there is no DVD drive (or better no drive at all). Things change, when I insert an already written DVD first, connect everything, start k3b and replace the dvd with an emplty one. Then this world is one of the best to burn dvds. ;) I took a look into /dev and found, that there is a /deb/usbdev2.5 when the drive is loaded with an empty dvd. This one is replaced by /dev/sr0 (including correct links to /dev/dvd and such) when the drive gets loaded with a already filled dvd. Previously (exact point in time unknown ... I am not burning dvds often...) this works without any problem. So I dont think that the hardware is to blame here... Are there any tricks to fix this hassle? Thank you very much for any working device....hrrrmmm...:) Best regards, mcc
