[TriLUG] quick reliable way to burn jpg's

Sun Aug 21 21:57:21 EDT 2005

Hi, 

I need to burn some images fast and I cannot figure out how to do it 
anymore, with either xcdroast or k3b. I have used both apps before with no 
problem. However today I got a media adapter and plugged it in via usb, 
Fedora sees it under /media/TOSHIBA512M. Now xcdroast seems to not give me 
the ability to actually browse for the files to burn (believe it or not) and 
I looked on the site for that and there seem to be some bugs with the
2.6.xkernel so I am left wondering about that. K3b gives me buffer
underrun
errors and when I bump the burn down to 4x or 2x it still doesn't work. 
System is FC3/KDE with an HP cdwriter on it. Also I have the kwikdisk app 
installed on the desktop which automounts camera flash ram. I noticed when I 
turned this off that my blank cd-r or cd-rw would mount a little easier. 
Still I could get neither app to write to the cd. With a cd-r I tried to do 
an erase and it wouldn't let me do that either. 

Here is my k3b output and my mount output. This particular error said to 
email the developer so I am ccing them as well. I just want to get my images 
burned asap. Thanks in advance, 

Marc
