I don't know about the others, but I was getting this with k3b for some |
| 18 |
time. It doesn't seem to affect anything. I can still burn stuff just |
| 19 |
fine. The disks read fine here, and I've had no complaints about burns |
| 20 |
I've made for others either, so it would seem k3b doesn't know what it is |
| 21 |
talking about. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I just ran k3b to see, and now it comes up with "No problems found in |
| 24 |
system configuration." <shrug> It seems to have stopped as mysteriously |
| 25 |
as it started. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
FWIW, I'm on ~amd64, running kde-3.5.10 and k3b-1.0.5-r3. |
| 28 |
LANG="en_US.UTF-8", as seen running "export" in a konsole window. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
But while it's gone now, I did have that warning in k3b for some time, |
| 31 |
and it didn't seem to affect anything. So I'd not worry too much about |
| 32 |
it. |
