Public bug reported:
With the upgrade from Artful to Bionic (18.04 LTS), wodim no longer
works for non-root users. Given that the cdrkit package itself has not
changed (version 9:1.1.11-3ubuntu2), the most likely culprit is in the
Linux kernel (Bionic, currently linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic
4.15.0-20.21).
In particular, running "wodim -v -dao -audio -copy *.wav" as a non-root
user under Bionic now generates the following; this previously worked
correctly in Artful and prior releases of Ubuntu:
TOC Type: 0 = CD-DA
wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.
wodim: Resource temporarily unavailable. Cannot get mmap for 12587008 Bytes on
/dev/zero.
The exit code is 11.
Note that the user in question is a member of the cdrom group, and
running "ls -la /dev/sr0" gives:
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 May 8 18:39 /dev/sr0
Attached is an strace of running the above command line. I could not
find any workaround by a reasonably quick search of the Internet.
** Affects: cdrkit (Ubuntu)
