It seems that cdrecord correctly detect the devices, but there is NO program that is able to copy a CD at the moment, even as root!
1) XcdRoast complains about missing suid but even changing permission, it won't find anything 2) Gcombust doesn't have access permission on devices. This is the only message: /usr//bin/cdrecord: No such file or directory. No read access for '0,1,0'. But...
