Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/28155
Comment: I encountered this bug after doing an apt-get dist-upgrade as root after installing Ubuntu 5.10 and then adding KDE by manually installing a bunch of packages (essentially making my distribution Kubuntu). k3b worked fine out of the box but after the dist-upgrade (done yesterday, 2006/03/15), it stopped working with the above error message. It suggested I needed to install some packages so I did so, but I still got "program not found" error unless I ran k3b as root. Checking the permissions of the cdrecord and other executables it was complaining about, I saw they were set to be owned by root and not accessible to anyone else. I then ran k3bsetup2 and tried changing the "burning group" (initially set to "burning" which doesn't exist on Ubuntu --- thus I guess it was defaulting to root) to the group of my main login user --- and all was well. Either the dist-upgrade changed the "burning group" to a nonexistent group, and thus made cdrecord, etc., only accessible to root, or perhaps the fact that I ran dist-upgrade as root did this, or something. In any event a solution to this might be to make "burning" an actual group that the main user is made part of. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
