1 Greetings all, I am missing something obvious and it's about to drive
2 me nuts.
3
4 Since upgrading to K3B 1.x I have not been able to burn CDs as user
5 (skippy is the user name) only as root. I can make DVDs no problem. I
6 was able to burn CDs with K3b 0.x. The devices work as root.
7
8 When I try to make a CD as user I get "cdrecord has no permission to
9 open the device". Well, it's telling me the problem, but darned if I
10 can figure the answer.
11
12 Here are the permissions I've got:
13
14 (hdc is the DVD burner, hdd is a CD burner)
15
16 brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2008-05-25 12:42 hdc
17 brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 64 2008-05-25 12:42 hdd
18
19 (and for cdrecord)
20
21 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root burning 273656 2008-04-11 17:31 /usr/bin/cdrecord
22
23 And groups:
24
25 skippy $ groups
26 root bin daemon adm tty disk mem wheel floppy mail uucp man cron
27 console audio cdrom dialout ftp video gdm xfs games cdrw usb users
28 slocate portage skippy plugdev ppp scanner crontab burning nogroup
29 nobody

32 What am I doing wrong? Thanks very much.
