From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: Why is it gtoaster requires the root password, whereas other cd-writing software just works since the user on the console is owner of the various devices. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtoaster-1.0beta6-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gtoaster as a normal user 2. get all puzzled when a prompt for the root password appears Additional info: Note: running gtoaster-root as a normal user seems to work! At least in my setup it is not necessary to go through consolehelper here!
The "gtoaster" package has been removed from Fedora Core 2 (and upwards). Gnome Toaster wasn't really getting updated upstream anymore, see the website : http://gnometoaster.rulez.org Newer Fedora Core releases (FC4) have "k3b" and/or the CD burning capabilities of Nautilus. Closing bug.
