Bought the LG GH24 Super Multi DVD Rewriter. Using k3b I get "No medium present" no matter what I put in there.

Are you sure you happen to be a member of the group optical?

sullivanva · 2011-05-03 07:05:31

-bash-4.2# grep optical /etc/group
optical::93:hal:root:f350851
-bash-4.2#

It means you are not part of that group. Unless you work with root which is totally wrong.

gpasswd -a user optical
