Do you have any symlinks for your CD writer device in /dev? $ ls -l /dev/cd* If not, it's likely that udev has not detected your drive as a CD-Writer and set up the device node with the appropriate permissions. What type of CD writer do you have and what device (in /dev) does it use when you run k3b etc. as root? Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
