Maybe not the best solution but, chmod 4755 on cdrecord should help make sure the owner is root. Ken Schneider

Fred, did you open xcdroast as root -> setup -> users at the bottom of the panel 'Change Non-Root configuration' xcdroast will then change perms to allow non-root users to r/w cd/dvd's. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

You really need permissions on /dev/sg0, that's not a typo. I know cdrecord complains about pg0, but the problem is with sg0. If you're running on 9.0 you may need to set up resmgr, take a look at /etc/resmgr.conf

Now this problem I don't have.. K3b sees everything. As does Xcdroast, which does work.

K3b complains about it, and dies. Just plain won't work. I really like the program, but as it sits right now, I can't use it. I did change permissions on the drives, and even went so far as a 777 to see what would happen. Still complains about the pg6 that isn't even on the system. I go as far as pg3 IIRC.

After reading this message I did that, and paride was listed with the cdrecorder. I removed the paride and restarted the resmgr. No change in K3b. any other suggestions? FWIW, the whole system here is SCSI, so the emulation problems aren't involved.

the paride stuff is a red herring. It's what cdrecord looks at when it can't read the sg interface but unless you really have your recorder stuck on the parallell interface it's irrelevant. You need to have permissions on sr* (or scd0) and sg*. In 9.0 those permissions are controlled by resmgr, so you need to have entries in that for those devices

Didn't work either.. Once I set that, it made cdrecord non-executable. Then k3b complained it couldn't find it. So being adventuresome, I made it 777 along with everything else.. Still no go. Get the same error. It's looking for that &^%*&^% /dev/pg6 which doesn't exist here.

Try chmod 4755. If this works create a group called cdrecording and put all user that needs access in that group and then chmod cdrecord to 4750. Charles -- A Linux machine! because a 486 is a terrible thing to waste! (By jjs@wintermute.ucr.edu, Joe Sloan)

Why does he need write permissions on the binary? In any case, suid doesn't help much with resmgr, resmgr doesn't automatically give root permissions. The solution is to either get resmgr to give the correct permissions, or to use a cdrecord binary that doesn't care about resmgr (for example by compiling it from source from the original author and not suse's version)

Check /var/log/messages and see what resmgr says when you try to access it it's possible that you need to run (as root) "resmgr login <username> :0" so resmgr will see that you're logged in (should be taken care of by kdm or startx, but maybe something has gone wrong)

That was it! Now I'll go looking around to see why it wasn't started. I might have killed it or done something else. K3b worked and burned a CD for me.

That appears to be the case. I checked startx and found no reference to resmgr. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks, Fred -- "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)."
