[opensuse] audio cd read permissions in KDE
Hello, I have a problem with the read/write permissions of an audio CD. Tried to open one with konqueror and got this error message: ------------ Unknown error. If you have a cd in the drive try running cdparanoia -vsQ as yourself (not root). Do you see a track list? If not, make sure you have permission to access the CD device. If you are using SCSI emulation (possible if you have an IDE CD writer) then make sure you check that you have read and write permissions on the generic SCSI device, which is probably /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1, etc.. If it still does not work, try typing audiocd:/?device=/dev/sg0 (or similar) to tell kio_audiocd which device your CD-ROM is. --------- I checked with cdparanoia that the device is /dev/sg1. cdparanoia gives me the table of contents OK. I also set "chmod a+r+w /dev/sg1" as root. However, konqueror and amarok cant access the CD.. I can play it only when I am root. How can I set up KDE to allow normal users to access the audio CDs ?

Hi,
I'm the member of the audio group. Maybe this helps. You can look for the /dev/cdrom link too, it should point to the real device.
Thank you.. that fixed the problem to some extent.. I changed the /dev/cdrom link to point to /dev/sg1 (the cd/dvd drive in my system).. Now kaffeine is able to play CDs. However, Amarok is not. It finds the CD, shows the songs in the playlist, but when trying to play, it is trying to access "cdda"-something (something to do with the KDE's kio-servers?), and says it can't access the CD. Anyway, I am happy to reproduce the CDs in some way.. After doing some googleing, I found out that there are more people having the same problem with Amarok.

I think this is the name of the audio cd protokol under KDE, so yes probably you should do something with KDE. Maybe you should specify the device in KDE's personal settings under Sound & Multimedia -> Audio CDs. HTH.
