resmgr schould change the permissions of the cd/dvd writer device so
11.1 has no resmgr, it's been removed.
Now it is done via ConsoleKit/PolicyKit/hal, but I don't know exactly how.
Mostly the same way, ACLs are handed out for the devices that need it. (HAL has also switched to a ACL based method, like we already did with resmgr).
Ciao, Marcus
This means that there is definitely a problem with: 1. what hal considers worthy of gaining device permissions. 2. what k3b tells hal it needs. 3. what hal reads as a proper device. 4. what hal does after a proper permission request is issued. 5. what k3b does after it receives a proper permission. since nerolinux can do the job just fine, it is more probable that the problem(s) lie with wodim, the engine behind k3b. A further indication of that is the fact that after k3b is started, any further access to the dvd is dissallowed until an "rchal restart" is invoked. if that's the case, does this rehash the battles between "old" cdrecord /cdrkit and wodim? this bug has been around for a while... also..... Since hal and k3b are packaged together in suse releases, it also becomes a suse problem. I will try Florian's resmanager suggestions on my workhorse 10.3 install. I will also try whatever is suggested on the 11.0 install before the upgrade it to 11.1. If these fail I will try the "original" cdrecord from Joerg Schilling, and, if that works, then I will switch to the Schilling camp re dvd burning. if none of the above works, i will try nerolinux again. d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
