There was a post in the archives that dealt with the same topic - but it never seem to reach a solution, so I will try. I have 10.3 Gnome and trying to burn an iso using K3B. As ‘user’ K3B can’t find the drive - though a blank disk will show up on the desktop when inserted (automount?) If I log in as ‘root’ K3B sees the DVD drive and I can burn the iso.
So why? Following the archived post I run
planb:/home/stephen # resmgr dump

Loged in as ‘user’ I thought I would run…

But if I run …
stephen@planb:~> k3b
kdeinit: Aborting. No write access to ‘/home/stephen/.ICEauthority’.
stephen@planb:~>
is the ‘no write access’ the reason that I can’t burn as ‘user’ and how to fix?
Thank you
