This is a USB device, right? If it's not always plugged in, udev might not set its permissions correctly. If you do "ls -l /dev/scd* /dev/sr*" when the device is plugged in, you should see at least one CD-ROM device, and it should be readable/writable by your user and/or group. (I know that when I plug my camera in, I can't do a thing with it unless I'm in the plugdev group, because something sets its group ownership to plugdev.) If you don't see any CD-ROM devices, then something below k3b is wrong, and you need to fix that first. In the old days, people would forget to modprobe ehci_hcd, usb-storage, and sr_mod, but those all should be loaded in anything modern. > How can I determine if the HAL daemon is running? HAL should have nothing to do with this problem. "ps auxw | grep hald" should show a few things, though. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
