Josenildo, here's some additional advice that I copied from my *tips'n'tricks list* ( thanks to Derek for this !) : This is a common problem. You need to ensure that your user, the cdwriter, and all the cd applications have the same group permissions. 1/Create a group called 'cdwriter' using Userdrake and put any users who are to burn CD's in that group. (It may already exist) 2/ You then need to give cdwriter group privileges for the following applications (all in /usr/bin) If any of these apps are missing install them from RPM. cdrecord cdda2wav cdparanoia mkisofs readcd You can do this using konqueror. Just open Kmenu>Application>FileTools>FileManager(SuperUserMode) Find the files you want to change the permissions of, right click, select 'Permissions' and set the group name to be cdwriter 3/ Put the CD-RW in the cdwriter group by editing the permissions of /dev/scd0 You can test your cd burner by opening a user terminal and typing cdrecord --scanbus If it finds your CD writer then cd burning should work.
