Description Gerald Weber 2005-11-05 18:04:25 UTC
I'm using a hotplugged (ieee1394) dvd/cd-writer with k3b. 

k3b is not able to use cdrecord, probably due to lack of permissions, for writing CDs. Since k3bsetup is not available there seems to be no way for
the user to fix this. Usual tricks such as suid cdrecord, or adding write permissions to /dev/sr0 have no effect.

The system is a IBM Thinkpad R40e (details of the system in bug 129954),
the ieee1394 interface is a pc-card:
02:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller (rev 46) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
        Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller
        Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
        Memory at 3a000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        I/O ports at 2000 [size=128]
        Memory at 3a000800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

The DVD/CD writer:
ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device
ieee1394: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [1024]
  Vendor: PIONEER   Model: DVD RW  DVR-107D  Rev: 1.05
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 5

I have no problems using cdrom as root.

I have no problems burning DVDs as user (although eject fails).

No changes if DVD/CD-write is attached after boot or if present at boot time.

The k3b debug file will be attached to this bug report.

Ludwig, looks like resmgr bug, do you agree?
Comment 3 Ludwig Nussel 2006-01-09 17:05:04 UTC
just a missing property in the hal-resmgr fdi file. An update is in the works.
