From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: When using k3b as a normal user, you can't burn a CD Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): k3b-0.11.12-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login as a normal user 2. run k3b 3. the cd burner seems unable to burn CDs Actual Results: You can't burn a CD Expected Results: You can burn the CD Additional info: If you do the same procedure as root, you can do what you want. Changing permissions on /dev/cdrom (or /dev/hdc in my case) doesn't change a thing. For information, I'm running a 2.6.8-1.521 kernel.
where did you get that kernel??
From fedora, it's kernel package kernel-2.6.8-1.521.i686.rpm released in the updates directory on August,19.
great! :( then I have to release fixed xcdroast/k3b/cdrtools/cdrdao
I'd be very thankful when you do ;)
I upgraded to the new versions of xcdroast/k3b/cdrtools/cdrdao/dvd+rw... and the problem is still there : as root I have access to my burner (pioneer 105 dvd burner) but not as a normal user. For information, I have reset the k3brc files to be sure there's nothing left around. Any idea ?
be sure to have /dev/cdrom symlinks

I have just tried to use k3b-0.11.14-0.FC2.2 under kernel-2.6.8-1.521 to burn a DVD-R as a non-root user. It failed. I saw Harald's comment about having /dev/cdrom symlinks. What exactly does that mean? I have the following on my system: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Aug 5 00:19 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 23 21:02 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/hdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 22 12:32 /dev/cdwriter -> /dev/hdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Aug 5 01:13 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Aug 5 01:13 /dev/dvdwriter -> /dev/hdd Has my blank DVD-R been damaged, or can I still use it?
Anand Buddhdev: this problem can only be fixed with a new kernel
