That seems like a device permissions problem, to me. Run k3bsetup (it |
| 14 |
should prompt for the root password), and verify group ownerships. Then |
| 15 |
ensure you are in the correct group as you set it to use. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
You can of course verify that it's ownership/permissions by attempting to |
| 18 |
run k3b as root and check if the start button enables, there. I'd not |
| 19 |
recommend making it a habit, or even doing the burn, just verifying |
| 20 |
whether the thing gives you the option, as it's one way to test whether |
| 21 |
the problem is permissions or not, as long as you are reasonably sure you |
| 22 |
/trust/ the app to run as root. That of course is up to you. |
