[SOLVED] k3b plugins unavailable as non-root user

I can't use any k3b plugins I run k3b as non-root.  For example, as a regular user, I can't rip to flac, even though I have the appropriate software installed.

When I go to Settings -> Configure K3b -> Plugins, I don't see anything listed, unless I'm root.

Here's my output from the "group" command as regular user:

adm lp wheel uucp games video audio optical storage scanner power users vboxusers systemd-journal plugdev 1002

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Where are the plugins located? Maybe check the file permissions of the .so's and the directory (path) they live in?

They're in /usr/lib/kde4.  Permissions look fine.  Read permissions on the libs and read/execute permissions on the dirs.

Re: [SOLVED] k3b plugins unavailable as non-root user

I just fixed the problemd by freeing up some space on the drive mounted to /.

For some reason, there was not enough room to write to /tmp as a regular user, but there was plenty of room for root.
