Identical problem affects Edgy with kernel 2.6.17.11. I upgraded the kernel for other reasons right after install and also installed all recommended patches so do not know if this problem existed in 2.6.17.10 and the default Ubuntu install from the alternate CD.
My optical drive is a MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-845S D100 (/dev/scd0, /dev/sg1) at /media/cdrom0. Running "sudo chown root.cdrom /dev/sg0" gave me burning permissions in k3b and nautilus. I was assigned to both the cdrom and floppy groups while having the problem. -- Wrong group for IDE cdrom/cdwriter/dvd devices https://launchpad.net/bugs/75753 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
