Trying to rip and copy cd's for the first time. Ran through the setup in K3b and in Grip. Looks great! Both applications see the cd and download the info from CDDB just fine. When it comes time to rip or copy the cd, both applications give up and say they're not going to do it.
So I log in as root and try it there. No problem, they both work fine. So I check permissions on my cd-rom device and change it from root to me. I log in as myself again, and the same thing happens again. So I open both apps as root and me, and check item by item in the configs. Set them up exactly the same, and tried again. Same problem. They run as root, but not me.
Configs are the same. Device shows I have permissions, and yes I belong to the group.
What's the problem? I know it's got to be simple, but I'm just missing it. I could run it as root, but would like to be able to allow another user to rip and write also.
Put this line "session required pam_resmgr.so" into /etc/pam.d/login then log out and log back in. This should make it so K3B and other programs that need device access work with SuSE's resmgr (Resource Manager). This program is a recent edition to SuSE so I'm not sure many people know this trick.
