Created attachment 43968 [details] K3B cd-burning patch This is the patch that should be commited back into the gentoo-dev-sources patch set until k3b updates there software. This patch does apply cleanly still to 2.6.9-r4 and allows non root user access to cd burner again
what kernel is affected? All 2.6.9-based kernels work fine with k3b-0.11.17 and recent cdrtools and dvd+rw-tools. (and it must be said that the patch completely disables command checking, so it's not a trivial one)
kernel 2.6.9-r4 is affected this system is entirely ~x86 yet no cd-rw is found for use by k3b as a user. sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01 app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8 app-cdr/k3b-0.11.17 those are the packages that are installed. even with the patch appied against 2.6.9-4 I have no cd-rw listed in k3b this patch worked in 2.6.9-r3 tho.
So it is probably a permission problem. The recent pam update touched /etc/security/console.perms, and maybe this caused a change in your setup. Check if you have read and write permissions for the cdr devide.
After a little research I decided to disable scsi-emulation in the kernel and everything works fine once again.
closing.
