I think this is a duplicate of Bug #75753. Short term solution (works as long as you don't reboot) could be to fix the file permissions:
1) sudo chgrp cdrom /dev/sg* 2) sudo chgrp cdrom /dev/cd* 3) sudo chgrp cdrom /dev/scd* For long term solution I refer to the above bug to change the settings in /etc/udev/rules.d Kind Regards, Niels -- Feisty: Creating CDs fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/76058 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
