I've installed k3b on my machine and every time I start k3b up, it gives me an error message: "unable to find cdrecord executable".
I undoubtedly have cdrecord installed on my machine. ls -al cdrecr* in /usr/bin provides the following output: -------------------- -rws--x--- 1 root cdrom 133 Jan 16 23:51 cdrecord -rwxr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 343276 Jan 16 23:51 cdrecord.mmap -rwxr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 343692 Jan 16 23:51 cdrecord.shm ---------------- Some searching on the internet has indicated that it might be a problem with permissions. I changed the permissions for cdrecord, both manually with chmod and also with k3b setup. In k3bsetup, I turned on the "use burning group" option and designated "cdrom" as my burning group. I also made sure that my normal user is a member of the cdrom group. All to no avail. When I run k3b, it still gives me the "unable to find cdrecord executable" error message and when I try to execute cdrecord from the command line with my normal user account, this is what I see: ---------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/bin$ cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrecord: /usr/bin/cdrecord: Permission denied ---------------- When I execute the same command as root, this is the result: ---------------- andelain:/usr/bin# cdrecord cdrecord.mmap: No tracks specified. Need at least one. Usage: cdrecord.mmap [options] track1...trackn Use cdrecord.mmap -help to get a list of valid options. Use cdrecord.mmap blank=help to get a list of valid blanking options. Use cdrecord.mmap dev=b,t,l driveropts=help -checkdrive to get a list of drive specific options. Use cdrecord.mmap dev=help to get a list of possible SCSI transport specifiers. ---------------- I am really at a loss here. Any advice will be gratefully accepted.
