Upgrading k3b over the last several weeks has taken me from: running great, no issues -> can't burn as user any more (stops burning about 50% done consistently -> can't even see CD drives as user. I'm sure a lot of this is due to permissions that have been automagically changed during upgrades with apt. k3b used to have a nice setup program, but I can't seem to find it any longer. Perhaps it went away when scsi-emulation was no longer required. What permissions do programs like cdrao need to have, what must be true of users who want to burn (permission & groupwise), and what, if any changes should be made to fstab to get this working again: /dev/hda1 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda6 /home reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hda5 /usr reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hda7 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs consistently=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 -- Cheers, Trey On the subject of C program indentation: "In My Egotistical Opinion, most people's C programs should be indented six feet downward and covered with dirt." -- Blair P.
