The burning is done by cdrecord (I think all burning programs are just frontends to cdrecord and various other programs). So, see if cdrecord works from command line. $ cdrecord -scanbus I'm guessing it won't. But 'ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord' will likely show this: -rwsr-x--- 1 root cdrw 329764 Jul 31 02:25 /usr/bin/cdrecord cdrecord must be root in order to burn a cd (direct access to the drive). But it's safe to make cdrecord suid, so you don't need to be root. But only people in group cdrw can run it. Therefore: # gpasswd -a <you> cdrw Now, either log out and log in again to make the change recognized, or use 'newgrp cdrw' to join group cdrw so you can run cdrecord. If you do the latter, you must run k3b from the same terminal that you did your newgrp - changes are not global. -- Marshal Newrock, unemployed Linux user in Lansing, MI Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
