I'm new to SuSE with 8.0 and have been trying to get KOnCD to work as a user and not root. It works great as root but not as a user. I've tried everything suggested in the DOC file and the readme under /opt/kde2/share/config/koncd. Nothing seems to stick after I've configured it and keeps complaining about an /dev/sg0 lack of permissions. My burner is /dev/scd0. Any help will be greatly appriciated. -- Thank you. ----------------------------- Gary A.

Did you make yourself a member of the Disk group? Usually this will provide the user with access to the burning, also you should make the user available in the list of users in KonCD as well.

Patrick I have this same problem as well. I have made myself a member of the Disk group and that did not change anything. What is sg0 anyways. I thought my reader and burner were scd0 and scd1.
Ya always wondered about that. Although, the cdrecorder should be sr0, and like wise the cdrom should scd0 or 1. On my sys I have made both sr0 and sr1 which means in KOnCD show both in the recorder pull down. I haven't tried to change the cdrom to scd0 or 1 but have thought about it. Although I'm lazy and haven't wanted to futz around with it - it works. Regarding KOnCD, there is an update on 8.0, if that's what you running. Oh, and make sure the symlinks in /dev are correct. By default /dev/cdrecroder and /dev/cdrom are linked to /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd. If this is the case then delete /dev/cdrecorder and /dev/cdrom and re-create the symlink so the /dev/cdrecorder points to /dev/sr0 and /dev/cdrom points to /dev/sr1 (or if you adventurious - to /dev/scd0 or 1).

My sym links point to /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1. Is it better to have them point to /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1? What is the difference between /dev/sr0 and /dev/scd0? thanks shawn On Friday 03 May 2002 21:38, Curtis Rey wrote:

Nothing. If you look at them with ls -l you'll see brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 0 Mar 23 20:47 /dev/sr0 brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 0 Mar 23 20:47 /dev/scd0 Note the "b" at the beginning. This means "block special file". With these files, the numbers before the date aren't size, as for a regular file, they are "major" and "minor" numbers and they decide how the kernel interprets them. As you can see they are both major 11, minor 0, so they are identical. Of course, they can have different permission settings, so if one works and the other doesn't, this would be the most likely culprit. regards Anders

Might check your filesystem security. It could be the problem if set to Secure. Set to Easy, make your adjustments, then back to Secure. Maybe this is it. Filesystem security may turn out to be the cause of many "problems" here. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE809OAnQ18+PFcZJsRAvF2AJ4y0NO+SSpDJEtn0wa5It5/n4LO3ACeN1Aa W8eEq9kSaVdV+DFKJKN5yKE= =Qtcl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
