K3b works as root only ?!?
Hey.
I've got a Slackware and a SuSE 8.2 PC and just installed the latest K3B release. RPM's for SuSE and as a .tgz package for Slackware. I didn't do anything special.
When I run K3BSetup , as root, which is required, it finds my drives, accurately detects both the writer and reader, and confirms I have all required programs (ie cdrdao and cdrecord, etc).
Then it asks me to add users, and I add my standard user login name to list for group cdrecording.
When I log back in as normal user and run K3B, it tells me I am missing cdrdao and cdrecord packages. Further it does not detect either reader or writer.
Has K3B installed into the wrong place, where a normal user can't see permissions? What may be the cause?
Thanks for any help.

Sorry, I don't have an answer; as a matter of fact, I have the same question/problem. I am hoping for an answer too, so I am bumping this back up before it drops off.

hello,
i had the same problem but then i deleted ~/.kde/share/apps/k3b and ~/.kde/share/config/k3brc
and ran the configuration tool again as root.
And finaly it worked for me.
Don't forget to have cdrecord and cdrdao installed.

yes, but then the config tool deleted cdrecord and cdrdao and k3b complained about the missing files.
it's very strange.

hmmm...it does sounds pretty strange. Unfortunately it sounds different from my problem. I can't run the k3b config at all. I get a few clicks into it and it locks my system up. I was hoping that would cure my prob as well...but probably not.

do you use the binary version or did you compile k3b yourself? If you use the binaries there could be a inconsistency problem between k3b and your qt3 libs. Try downloading the tar.gz version and compile it yourself. Don't forget the --prefix="path to your KDE installation" option in the configure script.
