Has anyone here got the xcdroast non-root mode working with the xcdroast that is included in SuSE Linux 8.1? I have tried to activate non-root mode several times now, but I still cannot start xcdroast as a regular user.
Me, a few days ago. If you start xcdroast from an xterm you see some error messages, warning that some needed files are symlinks. This means that when you try to activate non-root mode, it doesn't work, because it makes the changes to the links and not to the files: you have to issue these commands manually: chown root /usr/bin/cdrecord chgrp xcdwrite /usr/bin/cdrecord chmod 4710 /usr/bin/cdrecord chown root /usr/bin/mkisofs chgrp xcdwrite /usr/bin/mkisofs chmod 4710 /usr/bin/mkisofs chown root /usr/bin/readcd chgrp xcdwrite /usr/bin/readcd chmod 4710 /usr/bin/readcd chown root /usr/bin/cdda2wav chgrp xcdwrite /usr/bin/cdda2wav chmod 4710 /usr/bin/cdda2wav Warning: probably the security scripts will undo this; it would be better to enter the data in "/etc/permissions.local" like this: /usr/bin/cdrecord root.xcdwrite 4710 /usr/bin/mkisofs root.xcdwrite 4710 /usr/bin/readcd root.xcdwrite 4710 /usr/bin/cdda2wav root.xcdwrite 4710 and perhaps also: /usr/X11R6/lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/xcdrwrap root.xcdwrite 2755 -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
