In the 'nonroot' mode of X-CD-Roast 0.96e the child processes called by X-CD-Roast are running as the calling user and not as 'root'. So most operations end up in 'Permission denied' (for example when one reads a CD in 'Copy Data CD' one gets 'Permission denied' when 99% of the CD are read). This problem appeared probably with the change von bash 1.x to bash 2.x (see 'man 3 system'). I developed the 'nonroot' mode under an old Linux distribution (SuSE 5.x) and there the problem didn't appear. In newer distributions (SuSE 6.x, Mandrake 6.1, RedHat 6.x) it appeared. This problem I have addressed with a new version (0.96ex2) which one can download the source tarball at www.xcdroast.org as http://www.fh-muenchen.de/home/ze/rz/services/projects/xcdroast/src/xcdroast-0.96ex2.tar.gz Note that the correct version is stored as xcdroast-0.96ex2.tar.gz. xcdroast-0.96ex.tar.gz (without the '2' after 'ex') is an older version which still has bugs. Also all binary and '.rpm' packages still have bugs. In this version I have also fixed the problem of the not working progress bar when using CD-Paranoia. This should work with CD-Paranoia III Alpha 9.5 or newer. I tested with 9.7. Till Kamppeter (author of the 'nonroot' mode of X-CD-Roast)
xcdroast-0.96ex2 is now in redhat-6.2
