Package: k3b Version: 20.12.2-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I have an optical disc reader/burner and needed to burn an Audio CD, so I opened K3b, created a new Audio CD project, and hit "Burn". It took awhile to burn, and in the middle of it I get an error message: Solution: Check permissions via Settings -> Configure K3b... -> Programs -> Permissions. If K3b's default value is set make sure you are member of "operator" group. Insufficient permissions for cdrdao executable: /bin/cdrdao K3b uses cdrdao to actually write CDs. This actually made my CD-R a coaster, as it seems that some part of the disc was already written, but no audio is playable after testing it in VLC. I later installed xfburn, interted a new CD-R and it burned the CD without issue. Because I still wanted to use K3b, I ran the command usermod -aG operator alex as root and restarted K3b. I was greeted to another error: Insufficient permissions for cdrecord executable: /bin/wodim K3b uses cdrecord to actually write CDs. Solution: Check permissions via Settings -> Configure K3b... -> Programs -> Permissions. If K3b's default value is set make sure you are member of "operator" group. Insufficient permissions for cdrdao executable: /bin/cdrdao K3b uses cdrdao to actually write CDs. Solution: Check permissions via Settings -> Configure K3b... -> Programs -> Permissions. If K3b's default value is set make sure you are member of "operator" group. Insufficient permissions for growisofs executable: /bin/growisofs K3b uses growisofs to actually write DVDs. Without growisofs you will not be able to write DVDs. Make sure to install at least version 5.10. Solution: Check permissions via Settings -> Configure K3b... -> Programs -> Permissions. If K3b's default value is set make sure you are member of "operator" group. I logged out and logged back in, but still got the error. Then I ran the groups command. Here is the output: alex@galago-pro:~$ groups alex dialout cdrom floppy sudo audio dip operator video plugdev kvm netdev bluetooth lpadmin scanner libvirt wireshark It seems like I am a member of all the proper user groups (audio, video, cdrom, operator). After talking to some of the members of the #debian IRC channel, some helpful folks linked me to #983861 and https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/kde/k3b/-/blob/master/debian/README.Debian and I also found #401057. Looks like k3b is falsely requiring the operator group instead of cdrom, but even when you add your user to operator and cdrom, K3b still errors out, asking the user for operator permissions. And the README file says to run dpkg-statoverride --add root cdrom 04710 /usr/bin/wodim if I am still getting permission issues, so I ran that, and just to be safe, I rebooted my system and opened K3b. Upon opening, I didn't get an error message. Assuming that the command worked, I attempted to burn another CD-R and... it did the exact same thing as when I did it the first time... that makes two coasters. It seems like there is a problem with this package and the way it accepts permissions. Can anyone try it on their own system to confirm that the bug is reproducable?
