k3b incorrectly identifies scsi r/w drive as read-only -- how to change?

2006-03-24 Thread Oliver Iberien
I've got my Plextor PX-W4012S SCSI R/W drive recognized by k3b by adding 
ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/camcontrol devlist
to sudoers and starting k3b with sudo. Unfortunately, k3b has the idea that 
this is read-only. In Setup Devices there is no way to remove a device from 
the readonly heading and place it under writer drives, and none of the 
options except for the cdrao editor are editable. Attempting to change the 
driver crashes the program.

k3b must be reading this from somewhere, but where? The drive is r,w is fstab.

Thanks,

Oliver

I don't have access to my laptop (where I recently dealt with this), but
/etc/devfs.conf (i think) has places where you can set the permission to
devices.  I believe I did 0666 (read/write to all) for acd0, cdrom0, pass0,
and perhaps 1 other.  After that (and manually setting perms to /dev/list)
I was able to use k3b without being root.

Hope this helps.

I had done that. I can access the drive, but it is still not being correctly 
recognized as a writer.

What happens when you run k3b as root (just to test)

Also, what are the permissions on
(assuming the writer is the first cd device)
/dev/cd0
/dev/acd0
/dev/pass0
