I relaunch k3b. Only the message about ATAPI is still present. So I assume that this refers either to my DVD drive or to my Seagate tape drive and will not be a problem.
It will. Use hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi in /boot/grub/menu.lst, it will save a lot of trouble.
I try burning a CD and *still* I get the error. Once again the message seems to say I have no permissions for /dev/pg1.
You've used k3bsetup successfully. What did you do? I notice that on the CD-RW drive the permissions are given as 666 root.disk whereas on my dvd drive they are given as 666 kmp.disk. Is this right? I can't see how you change them in k3bsetup. I thought then that perhaps kmp needed to be in group disk. I added disk to my groups using YAST but it made no difference to k3b.
My permissions are set like this: brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 11, 0 2003-09-23 19:59 /dev/sr0 brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 11, 1 2003-09-23 19:59 /dev/sr1 Have you checked that you as a user were a member of the disk group? What is the result of cdrecord -scanbus run as normal user? These are my permissions for cdrecord: -r-sr-xr-x 1 root root 389463 2003-09-23 19:38 /usr/bin/cdrecord FX -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux http://www.nibz.org
