 |
|
Just emerge'd k3b. When i start it, it gives me this message:
| Quote: | cdrecord will be run without root privileges
It is highly recommended to configure cdrecord to run with root privileges. Only then cdrecord runs with high priority which increases the overall stability of the burning process. Apart from that it allows changing the size of the used burning buffer. A lot of user problems could be solved this way. This is also true when using SuSE's resmgr.
Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem.
cdrdao will be run without root privileges
It is highly recommended to configure cdrdao to run with root privileges to increase the overall stability of the burning process.
Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem. |
Where can I find K3bSetup in Gnome? Is there maby another way this can be fixed?

Same directory as k3b itself?

Solved the problem:
| Code: | Larry ~ # ls -l /usr/bin/cdr*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 719721 2006-10-25 20:16 /usr/bin/cdrdao
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 364204 2006-08-27 00:32 /usr/bin/cdrecord
Larry ~ # chown root:cdrom /usr/bin/cdr*
Larry ~ # chmod 4754 /usr/bin/cdr*
Larry ~ # ls -l /usr/bin/cdr*
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 719721 2006-10-25 20:16 /usr/bin/cdrdao
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 364204 2006-08-27 00:32 /usr/bin/cdrecord

Actually, never mind that wiki article I linked. It looks a little shady what with the SUID-for-all.
What harryy has looked better, similar to what they have here. |

Could say that its more right to use the group cdrw then cdrom:
| Code: | | chown root:cdrw /usr/bin/cdr* |

| Why isn't cdrtools just configured to work when emerged? Security reasons maybe? Maybe a USE flag can be specified tell the ebuild to make the approriate changes to the file permissions. |
