I've been doing some testing and found that if I run KDar as a regular user, it works, though I have to keep the "slice" size below the default 4400 MB for DVD's. So far, 4000 works and I'm currently trying 4100. Also, running it as a user greatly limits what I can back up, so next I'll try logging in as root, instead of just runnning KDar as root.
According to the growisofs man page, there is an option to allow it to be used under sudo, but recommends against it for security reasons. It's not a path issue, as /usr/bin is in root's path and K3B has no problem finding other files there. Also, K3B specifies the full path to the executables, so the PATH variable shouldn't even affect it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
