Hi everyone,
I’m unable to burn CD-RW in K3b (error message “cdrecord has no
permission to open the device”).
Apparently, this is a wide-spread problem and there are a lot of posts
on the internet that deal with it, but none of the advice I’ve found has
worked so far.
Any ideas?
I’ve tried the following:
(1) Updated K3b to the most recent version.
(2) Checked the device name of my CD burner (= sr0), and made sure I
have access to it (sr0 is assigned to the group “drive”, and I’ve added
myself to this group, and also to “cdrom”, just to be sure).
(3) Checked whether I have access to the applications
/usr/bin/cdrecord, /usr/bin/wodim, and /usr/bin/cdrdao. Set the
permissions to 775 (rwxrwxrx) and the ownership/group ownership to
root/disk.
