    Where's the k3b HOWTO?

    It used to be found on ubuntulinux.org wiki, but now the only one I can find is in italian? I can't find one on the forum either?

    What do want to know?

    This is how I did it.
    Setup the reportsitories (here's a howto http://ubuntuguide.org/index.html )
    then select k3b and cdrdao packages and install them
    open the terminal and write:

    sudo k3b

    That's a no-no. Run gksudo k3b. Otherwise, you may break your ICEAuthority. Try rm -f /home/user/.ICEauthority if X refuses to start.

    I've had that problem. What happened, and what did I do wrong? I went crazy and had to reinstall Ubuntu. (Newbie here...)

    I've had the same problem myself a couple of times; you don't have to reinstall Ubuntu to fix it. As the man said, it's caused by K3b changing the permissions of the .ICEauthority file. If X refuses to boot, just open a terminal and delete the file. It's one of those problems which seems catastrophic, but in fact is caused by a small error, and can be fixed very easily.

    Or, you can do $sudo chown username /home/username/.ICEauthority which involves less deleting...

    It greatly confused me the first time it happened, too. For the record, I still haven't gotten my k3b to work...mostly because I've been too lazy to fiddle with SCSI emulation and such...
