 |
|
I'm trying to get k3b 0.12.8 working and I'm running into several problems.
1. When I start k3b as a normal user I get these error messages :
| Code: |
Unable to find cdrecord executable
K3b uses cdrecord to actually write CDs.
Solution: Install the cdrtools package which contains cdrecord.
Unable to find cdrdao executable
K3b uses cdrdao to actually write CDs.
Solution: Install the cdrdao package.
|
Yet I know these executables are present.
2. When I run Settings > Configure K3b, my CD devices are not found and when I try to add them I get a message stating
| Code: |
Could not find an additional device at /dev/hdb, yet I know the device is there.
|
3. When I first started k3b it gave me an error about cdrdao.
| Code: |
cdrdao will be run without root privileges
It is highly recommended to configure cdrdao to run with root privileges to increase the overall stability of the burning process.
Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem.
|
Searching through the forums here I found advice about
Which made that error go away.
But where is K3bSetup? It seems like it disappeared?
Qt: 3.3.4
KDE: 3.4.3
K3b: 0.12.8
2.6.14-gentoo-r5
Everything works when the user is root.
It seems that xcdroast detects everything fine but I want to use k3b because it integrates so well with digikam and exporting to CD.
Thanks for any advice,
Gary |

Is your user a member of the cdrom group?
Run 'id username' to see which groups username is a member of.
Use 'gpasswd -a username cdrom' to add username to the cdrom group.

1. User must be the member of the cdrw and cdrom group in /etc/group
2. Settnings -> k3b Setup -> Use burning group - cdrw
Check the access permission of
/dev/hd? it should be e.g.
bwx-wx-wx root cdrom
and cdrecord and cdrdao in /usr/bin
-rws--x--- 1 root cdrw
-rwxr-x--- 1 root cdrw |

Well, I did a bunch of things so I'm not sure which one or combination resolved this but here goes:
- I added /etc/udev/rules.d/51-udev.rules
KERNEL="hdc", GROUP="root", MODE="0666"
- To get at K3bSetup I enabled kde in /etc/portage/package.use. My make.conf is set at -kde.
app-cdr/k3b kde
- I added my user to the cdrw, burning, and cdrom groups.
Thanks for the suggestions. |
