Create a CD-ROM device on KDE desktop as a user?

[kikinovak]

Hi,

I want to have access to my CD-ROM as a user under KDE. What I do: right-click on the desktop, then choose "Create new CD-ROM device". A CD icon appears on my desktop. I edit the Properties so that it is mounted as /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 on /mnt/cdrom (as it appears in /etc/fstab).

Problem: when I click on it (to mount), I get the message that only root can mount the cd (or anything else).

Question1: I guess I must add the user (kikinovak, same as here) as root to a certain group, is it? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Question2: HOW do I add a user to a group? I tried

usermod -G [groupname] [username]

Thanks, that worked for (2). But (1) is still unresolved.

My user kikinovak is a member of the following groups: users,disk,cdrom,wheel,floppy,dialout,video. (I chose what seemed familiar and/or reasonable)

But still, he's not allowed to mount the CD-ROM. "Only root can mount".

Now what?

You have to edit /etc/fstab and add "user" to the cd mounting options.

/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0

Bingo. Thanks.
