From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: Due to the user not having the correct permissions to connect and operate the cd device, in my case this is a scsi cdburner attatched to lun 0,2,0. This is the usuall practice for these devices (as you know) The operation works fine as root, but not as a user unless the user has access to the device (ie correct permissions). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go | CD Creator 2. drag and drop files 3. Create cd 4. Error regarding incorrect permission to access device Actual Results: Above Expected Results: 1. The user to either be put into a specialo group or have acess to this device. 2. Disable this option for users (ie remove from panel), this will upset people, as this is a very cool and usefull addon Additional info:

Do you have any /dev/cdwriter* files? notting: Did you add the cd writer stuff to kudzu?
Kudzu needs to create the /dev/cdwriter links.
Ugh. This could get tricky on mixed SCSI/ide systems.
I presume these are just symlinks to the real devices? Won't the 'user' still have to be in the correct group to access the cdrom burner? If I'm told what to do I don't mind testing this out (assuming the setup will be similar to the way cdrecord can be setup to allow a normal user access?) Mark
The user will get access via pam_console.
notting: You might want to look at the cdrom.[ch] files in nautilus-cd-burner for some code that handles ide and scsi burners.
This has still not been fixed in Phoebe Beta 2, It is working as root, but still not as a normal user. I don't want to sound as though I'm moaning, but will this be fixed for the final release?, as if not I would remove the option, as this will cause complaints. Once I logged in as root, it worked perfectly every time.
Fixed in 0.99.91-1, as part of updfstab.
will this be available on up2date? or via rawhide?
Should be in rawhide soon, if not there already.
