Burning DVD as non root (kernel 2.6.11.6)
After having upgraded from kernel 2.6.7 to 2.6.11.6 I no longer seem to be able to burn DVDs (through k3b) as a non-root user (i.e. I can't run growisofs). I can burn CDs fine (i.e. run cdrecord fine).
I've checked the permissions for /usr/bin/cdrecord & /usr/bin/growisofs and both are the same.
any ideas? (oh and I compiled the kernel myself from source)

Have you tried running K3BSetup and making sure the user is allowed permission?
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Out of curiosity, have you tried suid'ing growisofs?

What is the exact error k3b gives you ? First run k3bsetup as root to set permissions. If that doesn't help it could be that you need to patch your kernel, I did not test it on later 2.6.11.x kernels, so I am not sure.
I\'m so tired .....
