Hi all, At some point, I compiled and installed the latest k3b (think it was 0.11.18 then), same as I have always done. After that writing cds as normal user stopped functioning. I get: TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM cdrecord: Resource temporarily unavailable. Cannot get mmap for 4198400 Bytes on /dev/zero. I suspect resmgr is at fault, but I cannot figure out exactly how. Uninstalling the k3b rpm I build and reinstalling the one that shipped with SUSE doesn't help. Adding "paride" to /dev/cdrecorder in /etc/resmgr.conf didn't help either. I'll include my resmgr.conf. I have only one device, a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo, standard IDE. This is in SUSE 9.2 btw. # This is the default set of devices people logged in on the desktop get # access to: class desktop # # Standard multimedia devices add /dev/audio desktop add /dev/mixer desktop add /dev/dsp desktop add /dev/sequencer desktop add /dev/video desktop # # Modem device add /dev/modem desktop # # CD-ROMs - giving permission to open the corresponding SCSI # device is highly useful for CD writers such as cdrecord. add /dev/cdrom desktop paride add /dev/cdrom1 desktop paride add /dev/cdrecorder desktop paride add /dev/dvd desktop paride add /dev/dvd1 desktop paride add /dev/sr0 desktop add /dev/sr1 desktop add /dev/sr2 desktop add /dev/sr3 desktop # # Dito for SCSI scanners, which all use /dev/scanner symlink. add /dev/scanner desktop scsi # # make /dev/console accessible read-only add /dev/console desktop read-only # # Allow access for pilot utils add /dev/pilot desktop # # By default, grant access to all USB devices # except for HID and hub devices # NB: the exclude rules must come first, else they'll # be useless. exclude usb:class=3 desktop exclude usb:class=9 desktop add usb:any desktop # # This rule grants access to users logged in locally # allow desktop tty=/dev/tty[1-9]* || tty=tty[1-9]* || tty=:0 # For serial gphoto cameras. # add /dev/ttyS0 desktop # add /dev/ttyS1 desktop # # Sample rules, do not enable by default: # # This rule denies access to users uucp and news # # deny desktop user=uucp || user=news # # This rule gives access to all members of group wheel # # allow desktop group=wheel # # To make resmgr work with ssh, for instance, add the following # line to /etc/pam.d/sshd: # session optional pam_resmgr.so fake_ttyname # When a user logs in, a resmgr session will be opened, and # access will be granted automaticially to all resource classes # matched via access control statements in resmgr.conf.
