user logins screw up hardware info.
This has happened to me before, and it still happens with SUSE 9.3 and KDE 3.4 I have 2 users on this system. NORMALLY when I have to reboot the system, I log on first, and then my wife. This way, I have no problen burning CD's. When my wife reboots the system ( she still uses XP for a few things) and she logs in first, when I log in, and try to burn a CD, it doesn't give me any options for devices to use. I switched user to my wife last night and was able to burn an ISO image I had saved, so I know my burner works, but only under her login ( or maybe it is only the first user that logs in?) any clues/comments/suggestions?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

Edit /etc/resmgr.conf, look for the line allow desktop tty=/dev/tty[1-9]* || tty=tty[1-9]* || tty=:0 and change it to allow desktop tty=/dev/tty[1-9]* || tty=tty[1-9]* || tty=:[0-9] Then restart the resource manager with rcresmgr restart and log out. After that, it shouldn't matter who logs in first, you should both be able to access devices

that sounds like a known bug. I'm new to finding fixes, is there someplace I could have looked for this info, before asking here?? and thanks for the fix!! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

So I did the alt-F1, logged in as root and rebooted. The other night I had run YOU and received an update, new kernel, and I had not rebooted yet. I don't know if that was the problem or not. But when I rebooted, I logged in as my wife first, then as me, and yes I do have the capability to bur a CD now, great! pbc@linux:~/Documents/software/azureus> uname -a Linux linux 2.6.11.4-21.7-default #1 Thu Jun 2 14:23:14 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc
