[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#699420: k3b: impossible Erase window: 'Found medium: Empty CD-RW medium' & 'Waiting for Disk'

[THR4K]

Package: k3b
Version: 2.0.2-6
Followup-For: Bug #699420

Hello

Same issue here.

Some additionnal info about this bug: unable to blank new/empty CD-RW (not tried with DVD-RW) as
k3b still on the 'Waiting for Disk...' dialogbox despite the medium is inserted and well-detected.
Blanking a CD-RW which already contains data works without problem.

Please note that erasing new/empty CD-RW works well with wodim, using the following command line:
wodim -v -eject blank=all dev=/dev/sr0

Maybe k3b considers useless to erase empty medium, but sometimes you just want to blank completely
a medium that was used before and erased only with 'fast blanking'.

Best regards,
THR4K
