cd Burning: operation not permitted

Hi!
I'm trying to burn some windows datas from an external HD. I changed the rights for all folders into 755 and changed the owner, so that my user is the data's owner. When I try to burn some datas from the external HD using K3b, I get an error message. The output looks like this:

I guess this occures since I made an upgrade from fedora 4 to fedora 5. Before it worked fine.
I don't know how to get things to work again.
Thanks for any help.

burning only works with root.
What permissions should I change in oder to have it work with normal user?

I had the same problem 10 days ago but I can't remember what I did.

I think its this:

-rwsr-sr-x 1 root cdrom 565104 2006-02-19 23:18 /usr/bin/cdrdao
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 133 2006-01-07 19:43 /usr/bin/cdrecord
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root cdrom 323540 2006-01-07 19:44 /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root cdrom 323540 2006-01-07 19:44 /usr/bin/cdrecord.shm

and the user is group of cdrom

In order to write cds/dvds one needs to have sufficient permissions on the files you can see when you open k3b's settings (the one that deals with permissions). You can either run k3b as root, or set the permissions so you run it beloning to some group, like "burners", and make sure "burners" group is the owner of the needed tools and device files.

I don't either have any cdrom as user or group. I created one and changed cdrdao and cdrecord but it doesn't help.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 374124 Feb 15 10:10 /usr/bin/cdrecord
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root cdrom 605468 Mar 9 14:34 /usr/bin/cdrdao

and my user belongs to cdrom group

If cdrecord.shm and cdrecord.mmap don't exist then you have to set
cdrecord to suid root.
chmod +s /usr/bin/cdrecord

Can you try and tell me?

still have an error message. Looks a bit different though:

should I reinstall K3b ?!

strangely it works fine with DVDs! I only have the problem with CDs! Any clue?

Ah my memory came back :D

I know what I did:

Install resmgr which is used by k3b.
Then uncomment in /etc/resmgr.conf the line:

Code:

allow desktop tty=/dev/tty[1-9]* || tty=:0

then /etc/init.d/resmgr restart

Works for me.

Glad you're memory got back! I see that I'm not the only one having a hard time trying to make a documentation everytime I learn something new.

I try to install resmgr but I got those error messages:

any idea what gone wrong? I use FC5.

There is no prebuilt binary package?
Really try to find a binary package, no need to compile everything!!
There is no "./configure" in the directory?

Btw, meanwhile I updated my k3b and now k3bsetup works, try it. There is a group cdburner, should do what you want and no need for external software.

I've just updated k3b but I do not seen anyting related width users'permissions.
In the menus, I have settings, then options,but nothin with permissions.

and if you try from the command line:
k3bsetup
?
