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
Sounds like a rights issue in the /dev directory or an issue in the /etc/fstab file. Check for differences between cdrecorder and dvdrecorder (or something similar; I don't have a DVD burner to check).
See my previous posting on this issue. I have a dvd/cd burner and can burn dvds as anyone, cds only as root. Until I set it up to use sudo to burn cds as follows:
execution of k3b:
sudo k3b
entry in /etc/sudo
user host = NOPASSWD: /opt/kde3/bin/k3b
user above is the user id you want to be able to run k3b as root without requiring a password
host above restricts the execution to this 'host'
NOPASSWD permits the identified user on the identified host to execute /opt/kde3/bin/k3b as root without a passwd -- "I haven't lost my mind -- it's backed up on tape somewhere."
