no burning device as user - HELP!!!!


Hi all,

I have just installed kernel 2.6.8.1 on my rig.

Everything is fine, except for burning cd's as user. K3b says their is no burning device, as well as the selecting of burning device being grayed out.

BUT if I log in as root, I can burn cd's.

SO I am sure it is a kind of permissions problem.

Any help would be great

Regards

Robert

Try to change permissions of it (mine is /dev/sr0) to -rw-rw-rw- (as root)
Maybe it's not the best method.
