Hi,
Okay, so I installed 2.6.7-1-686 and the cdrecord issue is resolved.
I noticed that the ayttm sounds are silent in 2.6.8, in 2.6.7 and when I 
tried now in 2.4.26, in that too. So I guess the problem is somewhere 
else. I am guessing it has to do with my installing ALSA related 
packages recently since before that the sounds worked in 2.4.26. 
Anyhowww ... I will see what I can do about that.

thanks,
-HS

 Hi,
 
 I just recently mustered up some courage and started using Kernel 2.6, 
 2.6.8-1-686 to be more exact.
 
 Since then I am having a few problems. Most can be lived with but 
 cdrcord is not allowing non-root users to blank a CDRW disc.

Fixed in 2.6.8-4

cdrecord does not work as ordinary user in kernel 2.6.8-1-686

2004-09-17 Thread H. S.
Hi,
I just recently mustered up some courage and started using Kernel 2.6, 
2.6.8-1-686 to be more exact.

Since then I am having a few problems. Most can be lived with but 
cdrcord is not allowing non-root users to blank a CDRW disc.

The messages I get are given below. I have the CD write at /dev/hdd and 
a CDROM as /dev/hdc:
 ls -l /dev/hd[cd]
brw-rw  1 root cdrom 22,  0 Mar 23 16:48 /dev/hdc
brw-rw  1 root cdrom 22, 64 Mar 23 16:48 /dev/hdd

The blanking works only if I try as a root. I can though mount and read 
CD's okay in both the readers as a normal user.

And I am a member of the cdrom group. This writing worked okay under 
2.4.26. Has anybody else had this problem?

All help is appreciated,
Thanks.

shudderrr ... o boy. I was thining of copying 3 audio CD I just bought 
but was just putting it off till got some really free time. Good thing 
here I delayed :)

Okay, so if I now go home and install 2.6.7, should I expect any other 
issues with it? I mean, does this kernel perform as well as the 2.4.26 
or it lacks something there too?

Thanks for your pointer,

I'm fairly certain that you should have no issues with
2.6.7, and should notice some performance increases
over 2.4.26, but it really depends on the hardware,
and how the user(s) use it.  2.6, as evidenced in this
2.6.8-cdburn debacle, is far from being a stable
kernel.  I would only upgrade from 2.4.26 if you want
to try things out such as anticipatory schedulers, or
you have hardware that only works in 2.6 (rare) or
you're not shy about recompiling once every few weeks
once a new one comes out. :)

Good luck,
~Zaq

Or if you want to burn your CD directly with the ATA layer instead of
the SCSI compatibility layer... =)

That news item hasn't been updated recently, but newer versions of the
2.6.8 kernel will burn properly when run as root. I've burned a few
audio CDs just fine when running a kernel compiled with
kernel-source-2.6.8-5. All were as root, though. Still can't as user. At
least, not through k3b.

There's a new version of k3b (0.11.16) out that fixes some kernel
issues. Just waiting for it to get to Sid. :)
