I just read this on the k3b web site and wondered if this might be the problem with cd burning, esp audio cds, some have experienced recently. This would only affect 9.2 AFAIK (although things might have been back ported to the 9.1 kernel). I finally did some testing and gathered some information on the kernel 2.6.9 problem. Here is what I can tell you: * Cdrecord won't run anymore when configured suid root. The reason is that the new kernel forbids suid root programs to use the SCSI subsystem (or something like that, correct me if I am wrong :) So Cdrecord needs to be configured without suid root and the next version of K3bSetup will do that. Cdrdao does not have this problem. I think that's becasue it drops the root privileges in an earlier stage but I am not sure about that. I didn't realize I had a cd burning problem since it had been a while (and I believe I had only burned dvds recently) since I had burned any. I had problems burning audio cds. It would only work as root. After reading this (and knowing I had suid cdrecord for years), I changed permissions on cdrecord and it worked smoothly as a regular user again. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
