K3B Burning Woes

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on May 25, 2006 09:53 PM
I have Suse10 Eval with KDE 3.5.2a in my second HDD.
I downloaded the 3.5G DVD and when I use K3B to burn the ISO, it says insert a Dual Layer DVD+R. My burner is single Layer DVD and it keeps on ejecting the DVD.
Any suggestions.
That being said my YAST is broken in 10.0 too. When I double click a *.rpm it is Plug & Pray to see if YAST opens to install. I have better success with right-clik->Actions->Install with YAST.
Tried to follow the Guru advise to install SMART. rpm-python error. Follow the instructions & try as given in the page. another error.
Then position it to the folder on the FTP site where RPM python is. Download & try to istall. Now a lib-python/mod-python error. What do I do? Go hang myself!

I am a linux newbie but computer literate and was patient in trying Linux. My experience has become progressively frustrating with Suse10. Initally when everything was working it was like a charm. As I started updating packages, the frigging dependency issues pop up & it is hell.

I have not tried a DEB distro except of course Knoppix LiveCD. Again I am really impressed by LiveCDs and what they do. Recently I used MCNLive Leuven and was very happy with the speed.

I have installed Windows & Suse and I can say that w/o doubt Suse is far superior.But if Suse is supposed to indicate the advancement of Linux in the desktop then as far as application installation goes, it is slowly going to the toilet.
