Hi, My setup is ASUS Crosshair IV formula. Attached to the box is a USB->IDE converted. Attached to this converter there is my "old" DVD burner.
This setup has worked for reading and writing DVDs/CDs in the past. But there must be a update or something which kills that.... There is: solfire:/root>l /dev/sr0 brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2011-01-30 07:51 /dev/sr0 solfire:/root> Therefore the burner is detected by the kernel an appropiate permissions are given to it. I am member of the group "cdrom". When k3b is started from the commandline I see this output: K3bQProcess::QProcess(0x0) QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" K3bQProcess::QProcess(0x0) k3b(22035)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "view_projects" with KXMLGUIFactory! k3b(22035)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "view_dir_tree" with KXMLGUIFactory! k3b(22035)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "view_contents" with KXMLGUIFactory! k3b(22035)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "location_bar" with KXMLGUIFactory! solfire:/home/mccramer>QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" k3b(22035)/kdecore (services) KMimeTypeFactory::parseMagic: Now parsing "/usr/share/mime/magic" k3b(22035)/kdecore (services) KMimeTypeFactory::parseMagic: Now parsing "/home/mccramer/.local/share/mime/magic" Unfortunately I have no clue, what it wants to tell me. Only this "Permission denied" alerts me...but where to patch/modify what? A hint for a fix is very appreciated ;) Thanks a lot in advance! Best regards, mcc
