Hello folks - Happy New Year. TWO issues that have been there a while, that kinda cropped up today having to do with burning CD's
We're STRONGLY discouraging people from working on their computers logged in as root, yet all of the front ends to cdrecord, and cdrecord itself, want root privilages. Example: Eroaster when asked to detect the recorder puts up a dialog box saying "please make sure you are root or allowed to read /dev/sg*" We should fix this sometime before the distro gets put to bed. I would guess the cleanest way would be to allow users to see the devices, rather than run eroaster with root privilages. The other issue has to do with KDE remembering the passwords for applications that are run with root privilages. There is a check box for remembering the password - yet the passwords don't get remembered. V.
