K3B (0.10.2cvs) cdrdao/readcd Problem
When executing K3B 0.10.2cvs on a SuSE 9.0 Pro machine under Gnome 2.2.2, an info box comes up with the following very similar notices: =====Problem 1===== cdrdao does not run with root privileges cdrdao needs to run with root privileges to be able to access the cd devices and use real time scheduling.This is also true when using SuSE's resmgr. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem. ===== =====Problem 2===== readcd does not run with root privileges Readcd needs to run with root privileges to be able to access the cd devices unless using SuSE's resmgr with a patched readcd. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem. ===== I don't understand the solution, i.e. where the heck is K3bSetup? I looked in the K3B Settings but didn't see any obvious way to change privileges there. I tried looking for K3bSetup using the shell but didn't find anything that way either. I am assuming that once I find K3bSetup that I will be able to solve both problems. Is that correct? Any help will be appreciated. Don Henson

Have you tried running "k3bsetup" from the terminal? This was the command in earlier versions of k3b. However, I understand that recent versions have pulled this separate app into k3b itself - does anyone know where this command now lies?

That is, in fact, the very essence of the problem. Where the heck is K3bSetup? Don Henson

Suse 9.0 and I found K3bSetup in the KDE Control Center. However, it took me about half an hour to figure out that you had to click on the "Default" button in order to make the "Apply" button active. What a puzzle. Thanks for the info that finally allowed me to locate K3bSetup. Don Henson
