Yes. Or rather, that tool is only available when you enable the "kde" |
| 16 |
USE flag when emerging K3b. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So if you installed with it disabled, you don't have it. |
| 19 |
|

But you don't need it, for two reasons: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1) that message is in error. I get it all the time (every time I run |
| 23 |
K3b, which I also compiled without the kde USE flag), and K3b works just |
| 24 |
fine. The problem seems to be a combination of a) changes to cdrdao, |
| 25 |
which formerly required the sticky bit set to run as a non root user. |
| 26 |
This is no longer the case, but b) k3b which was supposed to have been |
| 27 |
updated to suppress this message, seems to have not been so repaired, so |
| 28 |
it's living in the past. |
| 29 |
|

2) If you really do need for whatever reason to set the sticky bit on |
| 31 |
cdrdao, you are perfectly capable of opening a root filemanager, |
| 32 |
selecting the cdrdao binary and re-setting the permissions manually. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
So relax. Everything is, afaik, all right. |
