User Permissions for /dev/cdrom
by Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I have just upgraded K3b in SuSE 9.3 from the default installation to k3b-0.12beta2. When I run it as a user I get the following messages: Writing device ATAPI - CD-RW 52X24 is automounted. Automounting can cause problems with CD/DVD writing, especially with rewritable media. Although it might all work just fine it is recommended to disable automounting completely for now. Solution: Replace the automounting entries in /etc/fstab with old-fashioned ones. No write access to device /dev/cdrom K3b needs write access to all the devices to perform certain tasks. Without you might encounter problems with ATAPI - CD-RW 52X24 Solution: Make sure you have write access to /dev/cdrom. In case you are not using devfs or udev K3bSetup is able to do this for you. No write access to device /dev/cdrecorder K3b needs write access to all the devices to perform certain tasks. Without you might encounter problems with ATAPI - CD-RW 52X24 Solution: Make sure you have write access to /dev/cdrecorder. In case you are not using devfs or udev K3bSetup is able to do this for you. My current fstab entry is: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,auto,fs=cdfss,unhide,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec 0 0 What should I change the entry to read in order to be able to burn CD's as a user. Thank in advance.

What happens, is that I click on "Connect" and it displays the message "Connecting. Please wait...", at which point, my keyboard is locked up.

I'll just have to give it a try now and see how it goes. Here's a URL to an RPM of it, to save others all the "fun" I've had. I hope it works OK. <http://ca.f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/james.knott@rogers.com/vwp2?.tok=bc0…> tnx jk

panasonic digital camcorder
by Paul Cartwright 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I tried to help out my son, who just got a new digital Panasonic camcorder. He can use the USB mode to transfer still pictures ( as I was also, with SUSE) but we could not get the streaming video to save as a file. Is anyone familiar with this?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

keeping logs with iptables
by germ germ 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I have been trying to setup up the SuSEfirewall with iptables so it will log every connection and every attempted connection to my box and have been unable to. Either the SuSEfirewall will not start becuase of bad syntax or it doesn't log everything. I Googled for about an hour last night loooking for a way to log it and have read over the man of iptables. Does anyone have a good resource for figuring out how to log connections? Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

how to cancel a print job with Samba
by Herbert Georg 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I have a printer connected via SMB protocol and I would like to cancel a running print job. Looking at the KJobViewer of KDE it's not possible to see remotely running jobs, at least I have never seen. How can I do it then. Maybe in command line via smbclient? I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks Herbert
