That seems to imply a problem with the first piece of media you used.

Yes I also got the plasma crash on the larger ISO, but not on the minime ISO.

[russell.eberhardt]

Did you ask K3B to verify the written disk?  ISTR that it can cause problems with an iso as the written data is not identical to the iso file.

Russell.

[txm0523]

I did the Verify with K3b. received error message again. Went through 6 DVD's already. Will try downloading the ISO image again and burning it with K3b. I have the Trial release PCLOS 2012.06 ISO image and I burned that to a DVD and all went well. This leads me to believe that the Final PCLOS 2012.08 ISO image file is/got corrupted somehow during download. Looks like I will download the Final release again.

Results:

New download of PCLOS ISO image failed to burn with K3b. The Trial Release burned okay without any errors and boots into Live Desktop.
Any suggestions ?

[russell.eberhardt]

When you select the iso file in K3b it will calculate the md5sum.  If this is the same as the sequence given on the download page then your copy of the iso is OK.

You need to deselect "Verify written data" in K3b.  Your recorded disks are quite likely good.  Have you tried booting up from one of them?  At the initial menu on the LiveCD select "Media check"  that will check the data on the disk and tell you if it's O.K. or not.

Russell.

K3b can at times be a little odd, it might say it hasn't completed a burn sucessfully, but I've found it usually has.
Does seem like your download may be corrupted also. I would try as suggested one of those DVD 'coasters', in File Manager (Dolphin), see what if anything is on it; or trying to Boot from one.

Also, dunno if you've seen this:

Important Note: please do not try to upgrade a FullMonty to KDE 4.8.3, but use the new FullMonty coming out ~ End of August 2012

txm0523,

I am seeing the same thing.

I can confirm that the kde 2012.08 iso MD5 checksum is correct as computed
by K3B.

It fails to burn to DVD-R, stalling at 97% and then failing.  I tried to write at
4x speed, but it seems K3B would always write at 8x.  The DVD-R's are rated
to 16x.

Writing to a DVD-RW at 4x, proceeded at that speed and completed  successfully.

If I boot the DVD-RW I get the same KDE desktop crash you describe. Cancelling
the crash dialog seems to proceed without issue.

I came across this thread trying to find ways to force K3b to write at 4x, but noticed
that I am having the same base problem.  Need to read more of the result threads
before I start a new one...

Cheers,

AussieBear.
