Ubuntu users are reporting that they are unable to access Amarok’s Burn This Album feature, which is a feature that allows users to burn music files to CD or DVD. The problem appears to be caused by a bug in Ubuntu’s software development process, and it is not yet clear how or when the bug will be fixed. Ubuntu users who are affected may want to try disabling the feature in their Ubuntu settings so that they can continue using the software as intended.


Here’s what it looks like before:

Just open up a terminal prompt, and type in the following command to install K3b and the mp3 writing library in one step:

Now when you right-click you’ll notice that Burn This Album is working.

You can burn the album easily by just selecting the CD writer that you want to use, and clicking the Burn button.

You might want to disable the completely obnoxious trumpet sound that K3b makes when it’s done burning. Just go to Settings \ Configure K3b, and then click on Notifications.

Your best bet is to click the “Turn Off All” sounds button, although you could select a different sound if you wanted to.
