This has come up at other posts here about having to add your user to
the “disk” group in order to get “K3b” to recognize the cd / dvd drive.
My question to those on this board that know alot more than me
(everyonelol!) is, how safe is this? Are there any security concerns
with doing this?
Thanks

Yes - I think you will be fine using this temp work-around. Had the
same problem when I tried to copy some songs from a CD using CD Rip.
But adding my user details to the ‘disk’ group sorted it out.

Users from the disk group have raw access to all your drives… that
isn’t exactly “safe”. But if you trust yourself… isn’t really a bad
workaround for a home PC.

The correct fix is to make the optical drives group owned by cdrom and
to add the user to this group. No doubt some patch package will fix it
sooner or later.

If you are the only user on the machine, an acceptable fix is to add:
to /etc/permissions.local.

I thought about doing that but I’ve read on a blog that someone tried
this but it only changes it back to the ‘disk’ group later. Apparently
there’s a script somewhere that changes it back. Not sure if this is
100% correct as I haven’t tried it yet.

You have to fix the ownership in the udev rules so that it’s
“permanent”. See the bug report, or wait for the patch.

I did this and it worked like a charm.
