k3b doesn't start

Hi, at first sorry for my English, but I'm from Slovakia.
When I run k3b as user it says

kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject *parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance )

an when I run it as root:

No protocol specified
kdeinit: Can't connect to the X Server.
kdeinit: Might not terminate at end of session.
No protocol specified
kded: cannot connect to X server :0
kded: ERROR: KUniqueApplication: Registering failed!

Hello!

Do you have a X session opened (kde, gnome, *box,...)? Is your system up to date?

Re!

Be sure to be in optical group:
as root

gpasswd -a user_name optical

Move your ~/.kde/share/config/k3brc to start without any setting.

mv ~/.kde/share/config/k3brc ~/.kde/share/config/k3brc.bak
mv ~/.kde/share/config/k3b.eventsrc ~/.kde/share/config/k3b.eventsrc.bak

Be sure to have enought disk space:

df

After that, try it again in a Konsole.

I have k3b 1.0.4-2 and it work here.
