Hi WDef!

It's now almost 2 AM here in Sweden and my eyesight is getting kind of blurry. But after about 10 years tweaking with linux I still don't feel to comfortably with the commandline. I'm still just a selflearned enthusiast. I kind of have bits and pieces of knowledge about linux. For me it's easier to compile a kernel than figuring out the simplest thng sometimes (I had what I call a Gentoo period when I compiled new kernels almost daily). And when It comes to burner programs I just prefer K3B. I've always liked it. Thank you for your post. Now I have to hit the sack.

Have fun out there,
meo

There are other reasons than features for seeking a later version of an app.  iirc the k3b extension is rather old.

It would be reasonable to expect some development had occured in the intervening years.

Indeed. Unfortunately, the k3b site doesn't have a full changelog so I can't see what's new between the version in MyDSL and current. I can see a few entries that appear to be mostly bug fixes.

It would be illuminating to know if there are any particular features, options, etc., available now that aren't in the "old" MyDSL version -- and, as you asked, if those are obtainable without resorting to an extension roughly the same size as DSL. Different strokes for different folks.

Instead, I get lectured to read between muddleheaded meanderings about miniature media devices and how big someone's remaster is -- details about everything but the issue at hand and which we don't need to solve problems -- and then rudely scolded and chided for not addressing some supposed GTK2 issue instead. I was just trying to get information to help.

Time to cast my pearls before other swine.

Later.

k3b does not work "out of the box" in DSL 3.3 or later, at least for me.  It works fine in DSL 2.4, with or without gtk+-2.12.9.  I am curious if anyone has it working in these later DSL versions, and how they got there.  That would shed some light on the gtk issue as well as whether there is a need in general for a newer/reworked k3b extension.  Thanks.

Hello again Jason!

I'm now using DSL version 3.3 "vanilla" or out of the box. K3B starts just fine even with gtk+-2.12.9 loaded but not set up. When I have set up gtk+-2.12.9 it also seems to work if it is started from emelfm as root using the full path to the executable. But the xshell "twinkle of an eye" behavior starts when gtk+-2.12.9 is set up. Exactly the same behavior as before when I used my remastered version of DSL version 3.3. Some things I might mention even if I don't know if it is relevant. I'm using an K3B extension that I converted into an .unc extension following Roberts instructions in the matter and I'm using the DSL-embedded version on an usb-pendrive. That is all I can think of that might be different in your setup compared to mine. Further than that I can't get as xshell doesn't work now.

Keep on having fun using DSL,
meo
