CD Burning software (was Re: Gcmbust as non-root)

I even got it to run as an ordinary user without too much difficulty. It appears to be highly configurable, giving each user the ability to control which programs are used for rippping, writing audio, writing data, etc. I've only buned the 1 audio CD with it, though. So I'll reserve final judgement. On a related note. Is anyone using xcdroast-0.98-Alpha-10, or cdrecord-1.11-a23 (required by xcdroast Alpha 10)? I ran into a peculiar problem with xcdroast in that it would burn audio OK, and the resulting disks were playable, but I couldn't navigate the tracks with ordinary CD players. I had a 13 track CD where trying to navigate past track 1 resulted in errors ranging from the CD player choking and spitting out the CD to just sitting there doing nothing. When the CD was played continuously from track 1, all the songs played. Another oddity was that all songs after song 1 were listed as song 2. This happened with 3 separate CDs, all burned in DAO mode. The CDs are perfectly navigable when using the CD player in a PC, though. Burning in TAO mode resulted in unusable burns (hence the attempt to try Arson). Weird... Arson works, but it's using cdrdao to record audio, whereas xcdroast is using cdrecord. So I don't really know if the problem lies with xcdroast, or cdrecord.

Gcmbust as non-root
OK gcombust lovers, how do I get the damn program to work as non-root?
This is a permissions issue that seems to be escaping me.
My symptoms are as follows:
I start gcombust and go to the Burn tab, then click the Check scsi settings button.
I am then presented with an error message,
cdrecord failed to recognize selected drive (wrong scsi settings or no permission to
device)
/dev/scd0 is my reader (it's a CDRW, but it don't write too good anymore)
/dec/scd1 is my CDRW - Liteon 241016
Permissions are (now) as follows:
brwxrwxrwx 2 root root 11, 0 Feb 23 22:10 /dev/scd0
brwxrwxrwx 2 root root 11, 1 Feb 23 22:10 /dev/scd1
Last night when I was trying this, permissions on /dev/scd1 were
brwx-- 2 dad root 11, 1 Feb 23 22:10 /dev/scd1
and I changed it to
brwxrwxrwx 2 dad root 11, 1 Feb 23 22:10 /dev/scd1
with no change to the behavior of gcombust
This morning, permissions on /dev/scd1 were (before I changed them to the previously
mentioned perm's)
brwx-- 2 root root 11, 1 Feb 23 22:10 /dev/scd1
I don't know how this got changed from last nights settings.
Permissions on /dev/scd0 don't seem to change. When I click the Check scsi settings
button while /dev/scd0 is selected as my reader, I get the same error message.
It works fine as root ('cept I don't want to have to run the proggy as root).
Any ideas?
At this point, I'm back to using xcdroast :-(
Thanks,
Tim

Re: Gcmbust as non-root
Since xcdroast works, I would imagine that cdrecord itself has proper permissions. Still, I have to ask... Mine are: -r-sr-sr-x 1 root root 185948 Dec 13 13:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord I had to do a 'chmod +s' myself. I don't care what the packages claim. It don't work for me without this.

Re: Gcmbust as non-root
I always run it as root because I really don't care to worry about running it
as me. So I simply set up an icon that uses kdesu. Then when I click the
icon, I enter the root password and gcombust comes up and I cna burn with no
problemo.
I could never get xcdroast to work. (or kconcd either). Since gcombust works
and is so configurable, I have stuck with it.

Re: Gcmbust as non-root
Truth be told, i've always run it as root too. I dont' see what the big
deal is. If you're going to directly access the hardware, its prolly
better that root do it anyway. Or go with sudo.
