i can only scan my scsi (emulated) bus as root even though i have
Code:
# Give the cdrw group write permissions to /dev/sg0
# This is done to have non root user use the burner (scan the scsi bus)
REGISTER        ^scsi/host.*/bus.*/target.*/lun.*/generic    PERMISSIONS root.cdrw 660

# Give the cdrom group write permissions to /dev/cdrom
REGISTER    ^cdrom$ PERMISSIONS root.cdrw 660

in my devfsd.conf

what did i miss.... it sucks having to su everytime i want to use gtoaster

(btw.. arson fails to emerge)

Moved from Installing Gentoo.

Installing Gentoo
If you've finished the install guide, look somewhere else. But if you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place.

Hmm, I doubt it. Although if you're worried about that, you can re-emerge "devfsd" and "baselayout" (you might need to run the touch command on the ebuild files first otherwise Portage won't re-install anything), and update your /etc conf files.

I had one PC which would do a -scanbus from a non-root account, but having moved the burner to another similar PC, discovered the same issue to which you refer. Not sure why this is, but if I find the answer I'll be posting on my original thread.

You only need to run "scanbus" once or twice or until you have it memorized. You dont have to run it for program setup unless you change yourhardware around alot. :wink: If that is the only part of burning your cd's that you have to run as root then write down the info. If your prob is that none of the programs run uless you are root and your doing this gnome or kde try opening a CL terminal (CTRL+ALT+ F2-->F6) login as a usrer and see if cdrecord -scanbus works. If it does then you have to change settings in your GUI of choice under settings.

luck
