Re: problems running k3b in fluxbox with sudo

Any clue what would cause this? I can't burn DVDs until I get it resolved... From the Notes-section in man growisofs : NOTES If executed under sudo(8) growisofs refuses to start. This is done for the following reason. Naturally growisofs has to access the data set to be recorded to DVD media, either indirectly by letting mkisofs generate ISO9660 layout on-the-fly or directly if a pre-mastered image is to be recorded. Being executed under sudo(8), growisofs effectively grants sudoers read access to any file in the file system. The situation is intensified by the fact that growisofs parses MKISOFS environment vari- able in order to determine alternative path to mkisofs executable image. This means that being executed under sudo(8), growisofs effec- tively grants sudoers right to execute program of their choice with elevated privileges. If you for any reason still find the above accept- able and are willing to take the consequences, then consider running following wrapper script under sudo(8) in place for real growisofs binary. #!/bin/ksh unset SUDO_COMMAND export MKISOFS=/path/to/trusted/mkisofs exec growisofs $@ But note that the recommended alternative to the above workaround is actually to install growisofs set-root-uid, in which case it will drop privileges prior accessing data or executing mkisofs in order to pre- clude unauthorized access to the data. I have to start k3b with kdesu k3b, not just sudo. Then it finds growisofs and it all works.

I have all type of problems trying to run k3b in fluxbox that did not happen when running KDE. I think k3b just need to be run in full blown KDE. -- Rod If you stay the same long enough you'll be in style some day again.
