K3B and umounting DVD's

Davigetto · 2007-07-13 21:43:26

Hi, when I try to record a CD/DVD Rewritable, K3B tries to umount de device before record it. But well, I never execute K3B as a root, so It give's me an error, so as a root I must manually umount the DVD device, and after that, record the CD.

How can I allow K3B umounting DVD device without being root?

Greetings

You might add your user to the storage group - I got my issues with unmounting and ejecting removable devices by doing it.

As root

gpasswd -a $your_user_name storage

I hopefully understood your problem the right way.

I doesn't work, I can't umount the cd/dvd unit... it's called /dev/sr0

Is there any other solution?

2 possibilities :

- is your user a member of the optical group ?

- is hal in your daemons line in rc.conf ?

Check your /etc/fstab .

#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

Make sure these 2 lines are commented like i have.
