In my case, I do chmod 666 /dev/sr0. It solved my current problem

Try to add your user id to disk and cdrom group by using YAST | Security & Users| User & Group Management. Choose your id and then Edit |Detail

Used acl to give proper access control setting view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
setfacl -m your-user-gid:rw /dev/sr0

setfacl -m your-user-gid:rw /dev/sr0
to /etc/init.d/boot.local

Check status of /dev/sr0 with ls -l /dev/sr0 and checked if it has €˜+€™ sign. Please refer to this for assistance

Make your user a member of €œcdrom€ group by following step 2 and then create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-my.rules file with the following entry : KERNEL==€sr*[0-9]€œ, GROUP=€cdrom€, MODE=€0660€ and then reboot

Patch /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.policy. Refer to this patch for assistance.

ok I tested all that, It solved the problem with K3b but I still can`t play any DVD movies, it display the "dvdread could not open the disk /dev/sr0" error even as root, I tested with VLC, mplayer Smplayer and xine.
