Description of problem: If the cd/dvd-rw drive contains some disk and is mounted, xcdroast fails to detect the drive and claims there are no writers. Manually adding the drive doesn't work too. This is especially confusing because the nautilus mounts the cd-rom immediately if you insert the disk. So the xcdroast doesn't work most of the time. And there is no any indication of what is going wrong. In contrast, k3b have no problems finding the drive, no matter whether it is mounted or not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xcdroast-0.98a15-14.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount some disk in your cd/dvd writer 2. Start xcdroast 3. Try to convince it to find the drive Actual results: It claims there are no writers. Any attempts to add the drive manually, do not succeed. Expected results: It should find the drive the way k3b does. It should say that the drive needs to be unmounted, if need be. Additional info:
xcdroast should recognize all /dev/cdrom-* devices.
ah... I know.. the automount feature of gnome and kde locks the cdrom.. you may turn that off..
> you may turn that off.. Whatever I may turn off (how exactly?), k3b still doesn't have any problems finding the mounted drives, whereas xcdroast does. Why?
because xcdroast probes the capabilities of the drives (only once, as you start it the first time), and for that operation, it should find unmounted drives..
If it can find the mounted drives but can't probe its capabilities, then I think instead of claiming there are no drives at all, it should find them and suggest unmounting.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Its still the same. Furthermore, the default permissions for /dev/sr0 do not allow xcdroast to detect the driver even if unmounted. Yet it discourages the user from running it as root. So the detection won't work in most cases AFAICS.
the default permissions (ACLs) for /dev/sr0 are changed, if you login on your computer (not ssh) via ConsoleKit. $ getfacl /dev/sr0 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/sr0 # owner: root # group: disk user::rw- user:harald:rw- group::r-- mask::rw- other::---

Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
