I've just recently installed Slackware 14.1, and had a problem come up with my CD & DVD burners. I was burning some iso images of Vector Linux for a friend (I'd burned two CD's of Vector 7.0 SOHO), and was about to burn a copy of Vector 7.1 for him when this came up. I put in the new blank cd, and when I went to k3b to burn it k3b wouldn't recognize the cd. In the main k3b window it showed that I had an empty cd, but when I hit the burn image window it showed please insert an empty medium. I've searched on both duckduckgo & startpage, and haven't found an answer. Here's the output from my terminal while I was trying to resolve this. Any help y'all can provide will be greatly appreciated.
