cdrecord permission problems with k3b

mechmg93 · 2011-01-06 11:47:39

when trying to write cds and dvds i get the following error:

for some reason cdrecord has no permissions to the device with my user.

my user is member of optical. i also tried:

- burning group
- older cdrkit package
- older udev and udev-compat packages
- k3b-git from aur

with no luck.

I have to mention that i never had any problems with cd/dvd writing and i believe that it has to do with some of the latest updates.

Any idea?

Have you got the right device? does cdrecord work as user from command line?

today i tested k3b in a simular arch installation in my lenovo r61 laptop and there is no problem at all.

It seems that the problem is machine/installation dependable.

@Mr Green

Yes the device is the right one.

I will try cdrecord from command line and post here the results.
