Hello,

I tried to burn a DVD today with k3b but it failed every time: the debug windows shows these messages

cdrecord

cdrecord: Can't allocate memory. WARNING: Cannot do mlockall(2).

If I run k3b from a root console it works without problem. So this seems to be an authorization problem

apparmor is not running.

Any idea?

Have you changed the Permission as shown in the settings of k3b?

Thanks,

I forced the of permissions in the settings of K3b and now it works. :slight_smile:
Something has changed since the last time that I burned a DVD because it worked before.
Don’t know what changed but as far as I remember i never changed the K3b settings.
I will note this for the next time

Regards
Philippe
