Do you have write permissions on the CD drive's device node? A long listing of the device node would be helpful: $ ls -lFh /dev/cd* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Apr 3 11:45 /dev/cdrom -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Apr 3 11:45 /dev/cdrw -> hdc Those are just symlinks, and you need to see the permissions set on the actual device node: $ ll /dev/hdc brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Apr 3 11:45 /dev/hdc On my system, I need to belong to the 'cdrom' group in order to even read from the drive (let alone write). And I do: $ groups | grep -io cdrom cdrom I'd be surprised if your distribution doesn't work similarly. If you don't belong to the 'cdrom' group, you can add yourself via the 'adduser' command: # adduser yourusernamehere cdrom Adding user `yourusernamehere' to group `cdrom' ... Adding user yourusernamehere to group cdrom Done. You'll need to log out and log back in (or restart your desktop session) for the changes to take effect. -- Paul _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
