When I try to launch K3B in Kubuntu, I get the following error message:

No write access to device /dev/scd0
K3b needs write access to all the devices to perform certain tasks. Without it you might encounter problems with UNKNOWN - WSM-52Z
Solution: Make sure you have write access to /dev/scd0. In case you are not using devfs or udev K3bSetup is able to do this for you.

In the top panel, it shows my CD writer, and shows that there is an blank CD-R in place. I have had no problems with K3B in Mandriva, but don't really know what I should be doing to get it to work in Kubuntu (7.04 Feisty Fawn). I installed K3B with my Kubuntu installation and have version 1.0 (using KDE 3.5.6). As a user, I have added myself to the cdrom group. If I do ls -l /dev/scd0, I get the following:

brw-rw-r-- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2007-08-07 07:29 /dev/scd0

Can anyone tell me what I must do to get K3B working?

Thanks.

Have you tried using K3bSetup as suggested?

There is no program called "K3bSetup" (or anything like it) on my Kubuntu distribution.

However, I DID solve the problem by editing {user} to include it in the group "cdrom", logging out and logging back in again. K3B now works fine.
