I can do both of these fine using root.
I'm using a normal user account called User. I'm a member of audio, games, users, and wheel.
UserID: 500
Login shell: /bin/bash
Home folder: /home/user
When I try to burn a disk with NeroLinux, I get an error telling me I don't have access to "/dev/hdc" (my cd drive).
Should I try adding myself to the cdrom, cdrw, or disk groups? I'm not quite sure what effect that would have, and I figured I'd better ask someone before I do something that might be a security risk.
My external hard drive problem, which I never really got an answer to.
I have the users tag added to my fstab:
Code: Select all
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1 / reiserfs noatime,notail 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda3 /mnt/windows vfat users,noatime 0 0
#/dev/sda1 /media/External_Disk ntfs users,exec,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto users,exec,noauto,ro 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/External_Disk ntfs user,exec,noauto,managed 0 0So what am I doing wrong?
