Hello,

I have Mandrake 9.2 and I installed a Samsung CD-burner. Mandrake identified it OK. Then i fetched the CD-burner program K3B. It works very well when I work as ROOT but it doesnt work when I am a normal user. Yes I have created a burning group and selected "use burning group" = burning in the setup as ROOT. I also tried with only my user name.

The K3B version is 0.11.6 cvs. It was selected from a dowload-site for mandrake-stuff.

The error-printout from k3b tells lot of stuff, like that k3b has unsuccesfully tried to reach lots of unrelevant directories. (some of them belonging to persons not added to the burning-group at all !!)


What can be wrong??

What can be wrong??
nothing

security reasons - change cdrecord rights(man chmod)

I think you can add a user to a group called "cdburn" and that may help. Get there from Mandrake Control Center -> System -> Users, and you can modify what groups individuals belong to. This may do the same thing via GUI that the chmod may do in console as suggested above.

Run k3b as root and then go to a configuration screen (can't recall which one ). In there it says something about adding authorized users, so just add yourself and it'll be fine.
