How can I enable this permission helper that is spoke of? As the message says, one would have to rebuild k3b from source, enabling that feature; but the problem is most likely the missing group. | |2. How should I go about adding a cdrom group? I am not seeing the |capability in (YaST > Control Center > Security and Users > User and |Group Management >) most likely I am missing something about how to use |this particular module. YaST => Control Center => Security and Users => User and Group Management => Groups, Click on 'Set Filter' (top right) and choose 'System Groups'; if 'cdrom' is not present, click on 'Add' (bottom left) and enter 'cdrom' in the Name field and '489' in the Group ID field. | |3. Do I need to uninstall K3b and reinstall again (once a group cdrom is |added)? No. | |4. Will removing K3b and the dependencies of K3b through YaST Software |Manager create potential dependency problems? Should not need to do this. | |5. I was looking at this YaST CD-ROM Drives module page: > |https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_CD-ROM_Drives This appears to be an obsolescent module. Searching the YaST repositories finds no such module; I believe that this is now handled dynamically by udev or some such. | |Most likely I am missing something in the YaST - User and Group |Management section.
