Maybe you messed k3b up to the point where it would be easier to remove it and reinstall.
Anyway, k3b on my system autodetects /dev/hdd and /dev/hdc.
If you run the command: dmesg | grep hd , do you see the cdrom devices listed?
If you run the command: cdrecord --scanbus , what does it come up with?

does running running rpm -e k3b and tha apt-get install k3b count as reinstalling it? if so reinstalling the program doesn't help.

right, strange thing I can make out is that your cdrom is hdc and I would also pay attention to the last three lines...

have you reinstalled yet?

redduck666 · 02-23-2005, 10:50 AM

"have you reinstalled yet?"

does running running rpm -e k3b and tha apt-get install k3b count as reinstalling it? if so reinstalling the program doesn't help.

Code:

chmod 766 /dev/hdc

if this does not work, try:

Code:

chmod 777 /dev/hdc

(as root off course)
