hi all,
i'v just upgraded my fc2 system and that i can't access my writer as a simple user. To see my writer i need to start k3b as root !
when i do a help=>system check k3b say me that cdrecord and cdrdao didn't run with root priviliege and tu use k3bsetup to solve that .... but k3bsetup didn't exist anymore??????
any ideas ?
Thanks
As others have suggested, try one of these workarounds until the kernel gets fixed to allow non-root users access to burn CDs:
1) su to root and run k3b 2) log in as root and run k3b 3) reboot into an earlier kernel (<2.6.7.x)
Unfortunately, in my own case, 1 and 2 just didn't work at all. k3b (and cdrecord) just wouldn't work. My dvd/cdrw drive was only recognized as a reader -- for all users, root and non-root alike.
Even worse, I had deleted the older kernels (note to self: keep at least one older kernel installed -- a lesson well-learned). So I had to install an older kernel via rpm.
I've written a short tutorial for anyone with the same situation at this url:

Hope this helps, Clint
