Yep! > Well, cdroast itself has to run as root or with root privs... just giving > the user access to the device isn't enough as cdroast complains about > system calls it can't use. I never bothered to use this app but I understand this is nice GUI wrapper for cdrecord as I see it. cdrecord needs to be root unless you know something more than I bothered to learn. All cdroast has to be started by equivalent of $ su -c "cdrecord ..." from user prevs. SOURCE code seems to call without "su" or "sudo". YEP it is a bug. I like this to be patched to use sudo. Maybe spawn xterm or xconsole? to enable password prompt. :-) > OTOH, xcdroast will STOP you if you try to run it as root (it has a wrapper > to get around it). ???? -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ +
