 Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2005 7:18 pm Post subject: Should I now be root to burn CDs????? |
 |
|
Until not so long ago I could burn CDs and CDRWs as a normal user - my user account was in group cdrw and everything was fine. There has been a recent update and I think UDEV rules have changed - this is the only thing I can figure out that could have caused my problem. Now I can't burn but with root. Moving from group cdrw to disk didn't fix anything. This is very - and I know I'm speaking for a whole bunch of users - frustrating.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with SATA controller. Hard disk is /dev/sda, CD-RW is /dev/sr0. I'm not a UDEV guru; thanks for any suggestion.

Why (did they) change that group? Before that, it was quite logical: cdrw. It makes no sense to burn a CD with a CDROM but with a CD writer. But well, I'll try that.
EDIT: I was already part of the cdrom group...
| Code: | $ id
uid=... gid=100(users) groups=100(users),10(wheel),18(audio),19(cdrom),27(video),35(games),80(cdrw),250(portage),407(wine) |

Yes I did - this is just a typo for I do get the same error message wether using /dev/sg0 or /dev/sr0. Anyway I get an error from whatever CD burning application I use: nautilus-cd-burner or xcdroast.

What I find pretty ... annoying is that once you have to be in the burning group, then in the cdrw group now in the cdrom group - but wait it's not enough. C'mon! can't "they" fix a group for good? If I had to vote, I'd love to stay in cdrw or even burning, which is more general.

So you see 1,0,0 should be my CD writer, NOT the hard disk!

you have to specify a dev=, and you have to use a device node rather than x,y,z or ATA or ATAPI notation. on recent 2.6 kernels, it simply wont work otherwise. and, your software (e.g. nautilus) has to also act in the correct way.
ignore the error about it trying to open /dev/sg0. it tries that sometimes (required for the other device transports), but will never do so if you specify dev=/a/device/node

I can believe you but
1. all these instructions work with root
2. I've also tried cdrecord -scanbus dev=/dev/sr0 (like above) and it doesn't work either.

Will I have to live with it? or is there a fix - other than chmod g+s /usr/bin/cdrecord?
