| 251568 | 2004-07-11 10:44:00 | Hey, I want to install k3b, the popular cd/dvd burning utility on my xandros system. However when I try to do so by using the apt-get install k3b command, or through xandros networks, i get the following error. ASHLEY:/home/ashley# apt-get install k3b Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: k3b: Depends: k3blibs (>= 0.11.12) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) but 2.3.2-7 is to be installed Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) but 1:1.1.4-15 is to be installed Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.

| 251572 | 2004-07-12 07:17:00 | > Have a look at Jen C's link in thread Hmm ... can't recall making a post on how to install K3b on Xandros ?:|. I did make a post recently on about CD burning on a Xandros OCE version (the free downloaded version with the crippled CD burning speed), but I believe Ashley has the Xandros 2.0 Edition. Anyhow, there is a good how-to install K3b on Xandros 2 here (forums.xandros.com) that you can follow. The deb package he mentions is now outdated so the direct download link is broken, so follow this (www.planet-moll.de) link instead which takes you to the same directory and the current version - you want the k3b_0.11.12-1_i386.deb version. Let us know if you get any installation dependencies error messages. :) |

| 251575 | 2004-07-14 00:40:00 | Hi Jen Thanks for your reference to the thread on installing k3b. I had tried some time ago to install it and got the same response as Ashley. As it wasn't urgent to have it, I let it go until I had some time to figure it out. However, seeing the simplicity of the instructions, I tried again, and it works as the author said, despite the discouraging message provided by the k3b installation dialogue! I have just cloned a CD with it and it works fine. k3b is not exactly intuitive in cloning cds. When you try to find the image, the obvious file to use in the tmp directory (or wherever you saved it) is the image file... However, k3b says it does not support k3b image files! The correct file to burn is the .toc file, which doesn't seem right somehow, but it works! Thanks again. John |

When you try to find the image, the obvious file to use in the tmp directory (or wherever you saved it) is the image file . . . You shouldn't have to manually select the temp file to copy from, K3b does this automatically . You select copy (or clone), put the original CD in and hit start . When it hits 50% progress, it will open up the CD drawer and ask for the blank CD to be inserted and then it proceeds to write the copied data to the new disc - no manual selecting of files required at all . The temp file that is created is then automatically deleted after a successful burn . Have a look at your option settings under CD Copy and make sure that "only create image" is not selected . I find K3b much easier to use than Nero . :) |

| 251577 | 2004-07-14 06:41:00 | Thanks Jen. That didn't happen so the settings must be incorrect. I thought it seemed odd. Will try again. John |
