Description Benoît Knecht 2005-07-08 13:51:25 UTC
When I try burning an ISO using cdrecord as a normal user, it fails. If I try
the exact same command as root, it works.
I use app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01-r3, gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r11 without scsi emulation.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run cdrecord dev=ATAPI:/dev/hdd -v -dao test.iso
Actual Results:  
It fails with the following message:

Comment 1 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-09 05:33:49 UTC
Please check if the permissions to your cd-drive are correct and that the
cdrecord-binary is not setuid root.
Comment 2 Benoît Knecht 2005-07-09 06:23:18 UTC
I checked the permissions on /dev/hdd:
brw-rw----  1 root disk 22, 64 Jul  9 11:10 /dev/hdd
I'm in the disk group, but I also tried with 0666 mode, with no success.
/usr/bin/cdrecord is not setuid root.
Comment 3 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-20 19:44:47 UTC
can you try with gentoo-sources-2.6.12 and with the latest cdrtools available in
portage (2.01.01_alpha03-r1) ?
Comment 4 Benoît Knecht 2005-08-21 06:14:55 UTC
(In reply to comment #3)
I'm sorry, I cannot try for now because of bug 102878 which prevents
app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha03 from emerging. But I'll try as soon as possible.
Comment 5 Benoît Knecht 2005-08-22 09:20:08 UTC
OK, I tried with app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha03-r2 and
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r9, with no success. Here's the output of both
commands I tried:
$ cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd -v test.iso

Comment 6 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-01 09:50:46 UTC
Closing this for now because alpha03 is very broken. Reopen if you still have
problems with cdrtools 2.01 stable version
