Re: cdrecord permissions problem in 2.6.8

2004-10-22 Thread Alexis Huxley 
 There was a problem in 2.6.8 kernel where a normal user could not burn 
 CD's using cdrecord. I experienced that problem and installed 2.6.7, 
 which did not suffer that problem. I am wondering, is that problem fixed 
 now? I am planning to compile the 2.6.8 kernel source package from Debian.

Are you sure this a problem related to the kernel and not simply the
permissions of the /dev/whatever for your burner and/or the
SETUID-ness of the 'cdrecord' program?

Install XCDRoast (there's a deb), and as root check out the setup menu,
it has a button somewhere under than menu that will change the
permissions of the needed programs as required.

There were some changes in the kernel, beginning with 2.6.8, which
caused the problem. 2.6.9 seems still to have that problem, at least
the version from kernel.org.

I haven't had any problems with cdrecord in the last couple of months,
since kernel-source-2.6.8-4. K3B still had device detection problems
prior to v. 0.11.15. If you use the debian package, you should be fine.
