ubuntu feisty k3b won't burn cd-r iso

Asked by Lou Townsend

1. Selected burn CDimage
2. Selected an ISO image to burn
3. When prompted I inserted a blank CD-R disc in my CD/DVD burner drive
4. Error message was that it was an empty CD-R disc- please insert an empty DVD-R disc.
5. Repeatred several times using fresh CD-R discs- No luck!

What am I missing here?

very small- about 1.5mb. I have never had a problem with k3b unti I installed it on Feisty ubuntu. It doesn't matter that I select "burn CD image" file- it still say's to use a DVD-R disc.

Please provide a screenshot of "Burn CD Image" dialog when it asks for a DVD-R disk.

Thanks for answering Dennis. As usual when in doubt look for the simplest answers. The problem was one of permissions and ownership of the iso file (which I xferred to my desktop via a usb stick). Works perfectly.
