Hi, I cannot use k3b to burn CDs!! This is the output of "id" uid=9999(ahmed) gid=100(users) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),106(lpadmin),110(scanner),111(admin) k3b asked me to use k3bsetup, I used it, but still it couldn't fix the problem! It only succeeded, after I used 'kdesu k3b' ----------- This is the output of k3b debugging System ----------------------- K3b Version: 0.12.14 KDE Version: 3.5.2 QT Version: 3.3.6 Kernel: 2.6.15-23-686 Devices ----------------------- MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-841S 1.50 (/dev/scd0, /dev/sg1) at /media/cdrom0 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM; DVD-RAM; DVD-R; DVD-RW; DVD-R DL; DVD+R; DVD+RW; DVD+R DL] [DVD-ROM; DVD-R Sequential; DVD-R Dual Layer Sequential; DVD-RAM; DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite; DVD-RW Sequential; DVD+RW; DVD+R; DVD+R Double Layer; CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; Restricted Overwrite] K3b ----------------------- Size of filesystem calculated: 87052 Used versions ----------------------- cdrecord: 2.1.1a01 cdrecord ----------------------- /usr/bin/X11/cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.15-23-686 /usr/bin/X11/cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. /usr/bin/X11/cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris. scsidev: '1,0,0' scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0 Error trying to open /dev/sg0 exclusively (Permission denied)... retrying in 1 second.
