I remember that I did see a similar report half a year ago. At that time, 
cdrecord had no problems to find the drives

The problem with k3b is that it does not depend on the portable cdrtools but on 
self-written code from the k3b project that as a result from time to time 
suffers from changes in the Linux distributions.

[gentoo-user] K3b does not find burning device

2010-04-21 Thread meino . cramer

Hi,

K3b suddenly cannot find any burning device of my system.
Hald is running. vlc can acces the drive for playing dvds.
kdebase-runtime-meta is installed. k3b was recompiled without
problems. The Configuration dialog of k3b states for both
kind of drives none. And me? I have really no idea, what
is happening here. Previously it works perfectly and I dont
know when its stops working, since I dont burn dvds that often.

Wgat can I do?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
mcc

Hi,

What if you run k3b as root? Can it see it then? Maybe it's a permissions issue.

No, that was my first idea, too, Same behaviour. Additionally vlc can
acces the drive with user permissions...

Does hald do something wrong ? How can I proof that (I dont like hald
that much...) ?

You can use the command hal-device to see which devices HAL can see.
