if the hald daemon is running cdrecord fails to burn indicating the device as scsibus/target/lun and makes k3b unusable (see this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2305967.html). dunno if it depends somehow on my hardware, however upgrading to hal-0.4.8 solves the problem, so i think it's time to unmask it... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
well i'm using hal 0.5.4 i can't reproduce this problem. It's up to the hal maintainer to it mark stable.
again: just version 0.4.7 and below are affected, 0.4.8 works fine...
gentopia any news on this ?
Created a request to mark 0.5.4 stable in portage.
metalgod: the issue is marking 0.4.8 as stable by all ARCHES. Not Gentopia's responsiblity. The attached bug should really request 0.4.8 be marked stable first before we go for the new API. Technically this issue is fixed. The new issue is getting the ARCH teams to mark hal-0.4.8 stable.
Thanks Doug i'll mark it stable on amd64 asap Frank if you still have this issue with this newer hal please reopen the bug.
in the meantime i've upgraded to hal 5.5.1 (because of kde 3.5) and i'm not expeiencing any issue with cdrecord, it just works ;)
