Linux burning app K3b 0.11.18 released with CD Text bug fix

December 12, 2004

dansmug used our news submit to tell us "K3b is the most important burning program for Linux users. Though a small number of visitors may use Linux, I find this news important enough to be shown on CD Freaks. The last month I"ve seen various threads on the forum asking about burning apps for Linux. Maybe a quote on the biggest CD and DVD burning website on the internet could give K3b a boost in users. I"m am not, in any way, affiliated with K3b. Just so you know 😉 "

Sounds like a good idea to me!

What's New in this release:

Little improvements to the device capabilities detection
Once again improved writing speed detection. Hopefully this is the last time...

Some improvements regarding the kernel >= 2.6.8 issues:

Do not warn about cdrecord not running suid root on kernel 2.6.8 and above
K3bSetup now removes the suid root bit on kernel 2.6.8 an above systems
K3bSetup now also sets the proper permissions on the generic devices
Fixed handling of boot load segment 0 for none-emulation boot images

Bug Fix:

CD-Text loading in audio projects

Let's take a minute to give a big thanks for Linux open source and all the people that are involved in those communities. Linux has come such a long way, even this site runs on Red Hat Linux and we're kind of proud of that! Anybody ever played Tux Racer? Oh, if you would like to download the program, go here and get it. Be sure to visit our Recording Software Forum where you will find other Linux users.
