Bug 118747

I am reporting here a problem already reported to the k3b mailing list
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8238801&forum_id=1927):

>--->
 I am using k3b under SUSE (first with 9.3 and now with 10.0RC1). I've 
 not been able to write DVD's using k3b 0.12.3 or 0.12.4a. It works fine 
 with 0.11.24. The packages are the ones from Guru 
 (http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=Multimedia/k3b/).
 
 I think it is not visible in the logs below: the NEC DVD writer I am 
 using is in a LaCie USB 2.0 box (connected through a Q-tec USB 2.0 
 card), if relevant.
 
 It seems that k3b is doing something to the system or to the drive that 
 afterwards keeps it from writing DVD's, e.g. using growisofs directly in 
 command line. After a cold reboot, I am able to write a DVD with the 
 growisofs command line.
 
 Please tell me what other info you might need!
 
 Thanks in advance for your help and for the usually great program!
 
 Regards,
 
 Patrick
 
 PS: I pasted the hardware info about the drive at the end of this mail.

I just tried with the SUSE package and it gives the following (just in case):

It could just be a k3b problem (as opposed to a distribution one) but I wanted
to make sure it was known here.
