To verify that this is the problem, su to root and run

resmgr login <username> :0

then try using cdrecord again as your regular user

Thanks, I'll try that - it's my home machine, so I'll report back on monday :-) Just one question though. I'm getting the same behaviour if I work in a terminal, with no x or kde running - and that also worked before. What other apps/services/scripts that run when one boots up or logs in would log one into resmgr? I thingk you're right though, because on a previous occation I tried to burn a cd without resmgr running and it wasn't happy either. Can't remember the error though.

Hello there, I have the same problem but results are different at my side. After I installed SuSE 9.0 Pro, everything worked fine: cdrecord, kooka, digital camera, etc... then suddenly things stopped working one by one. In some cases, I still could use them as root (i.e.: cdrecord) but now not even root can do much with those devices/utils... I did the "resmgr login <username> :0" and it returned a "sucess" - but cdrecord still doesn't work for neither my user (martin) nor root ... :-/ As root I issued a 'cdrecord -scanbus' and got all this crap on /var/log/messages: --- Feb 29 17:17:34 hexe resmgr[2017]: accepted connection from user root Feb 29 17:17:34 hexe cdrecord: resmgr: server response code 200 Feb 29 17:17:35 hexe modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module paride_protocol Feb 29 17:17:35 hexe insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.21-99-default/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pg.o: init_module: Operation not permitted Feb 29 17:17:35 hexe insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

Hi Anders,

Thanks for the suggestion, I think that was the problem. However, I'm a bit bummed, because I tried using cdrecord again before fiddling with the resmgr stuff, and, it worked!

If you are using kernel > 2.6, you can also use the newer ATA, ie: cdrecord dev=ATA --scanbus Charles -- Running Windows on a Pentium is like having a brand new Porsche but only be able to drive backwards with the handbrake on. (Unknown source)

Try "cdrecord dev=ATAPI: -scanbus"

That's what I need to do to get it to work without ide-scsi

I tried your suggestion as root and... oops! more weirdness...
