K3b was working as long as cdrecord etc., was set so that I was the owner. If set so root is the owner, even with UID set, it can't find the drive. XCDRoast won't run no matter how it's setup. It SHOULD be a matter of rocket science to get burners to work.........we've been complaining about this for I don't know how many versions.
Now, it's ALL "messed up." K3b won't see the CD burner as user or root, but XCDRoast is working ONLY as root, so at least I can burn discs.
One thing I have done for a long time is create an icon on the desktop for k3b (hint - go to the menu entry, right click and hold and drag to the desktop), go into the properties and change the the "run as" to root. Now when I launch k3b it will ask for the root password and I never have a problem burning CD's/DVD's.
Thanks......simple fix!! Now, XCDRoast runs the same way.....not what I want, but it works till someone FINALLY gets "with the program" and eliminates the permissions problems that have plagued us for a very long time!
