Does anyone know why I can burn a data DVD using k3b without problems, but I can only burn a CD as root?
This is on the same usb drive
I'm pretty sure this is an issue with cdrecord. The DVD is burned with dvd+rw-tools whereas the cd is burned with cdrecord. The simple test is to try the following as root and non-root at a console or xterm: cdrecord --scanbus It will likely fail on the non-root user. My solution to this was to run k3b via sudo. You can set up users in the sudo config file which will permit them to run k3b as root. -- Until later, Geoffrey Registered Linux User #108567 Building secure systems in spite of Microsoft
