[opensuse] How do I change my dvd writer permissions?
Hi, somewhere along the line my permissions on my dvd writer got screwed up and now I have to burn as root. Can anybody put me on the right track to restore user write permissions? User is a member of cdrom. Thanks in advance Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, he does not need to be. See the "+"? Is an ACL for this device handed out by our resmgr framework. Run "getfacl /dev/sr0" to see its content. This will work automatically if you login via gdm or kdm. If it does not have the ACLs for you, something is amiss, please open a bugreport.

Ah I see. But still "cdrom" is the wrong group and "disk" should be used when one wants to hard-define the writing access. -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o Package Maintainer Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is very interesting. Is it documented somewhere?

I take it that it might not work if one uses xdm or wdm? I know that powermanagement doesn't (so resulted from a bugzilla I opened). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

This is actually done through PAM. Make sure: ,---- | session required pam_resmgr.so `---- is in your /etc/pam.d/xdm (I have /etc/pam.d/wdm symlinked to /etc/pam.d/xdm). I have used wdm (before that xdm) for a number of years with no problems with permission. Charles

Try to hibernate your computer by clicking on the applet or touching the hibernate button. The current wdm in 10.3 doesn't allow it (Bugzilla 341605, comment #24, no console kit support). I did not try xdm. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Ciao, Marcus This is the output from getfacl :- Arbuthnot:/home # getfacl /dev/sr0 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/sr0 # owner: root # group: disk user::rw- group::r-- other::---
I assume the "group::r--" part is the reason for my problem. Thanks for the help, I used konqueror to change the group permissions for sr0 and sg1 and now k3b no longer complains. I don't know what changed the permissions yet but I will file a bug when I do. Learning all the time and getting used to the linux way.

No, if I remember correctly those changes will be undone when you log in again. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I did that one from a root console, this is the user one after I changed permissions and k3b started working properly again. They stay after reboot, I think some package update must have changed them at some stage. davepl@Arbuthnot:~/.wine/drive_c> getfacl /dev/sr0 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/sr0 # owner: root # group: disk user::rw- user:davepl:rw- group::r-- mask::rw- other::--- Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
