Kernle 2.6.8 - CD burning issue

[ghaefb]

I belive an update will be out soon....

[BurtB10]

I was able to get K3B working again after upgrading the kernel by changing the mode on the cdrecord program.

Log on as su.
cd to /usr/bin

ls -l cdrecord

You will likely see the following
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root somenumber Date Time /usr/bin/cdrecord

execute the following:
chmod u+s cdrecord
This should set the User bit for the file owner.

Do ls -l cdrecord again:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root somenumber Date Time /usr/bin/cdrecord

Note that the first 'x' should have changed to an 's' indicating that the User bit is set.

Now try running K3B again as a normal user. In my case K3b was able to see the CD burner again, and was back to working normally.

YMMV of course:-)

Hope this helps,
Burt

YMMV????? And is this a good fix anyone else know, i know it is changing the permisions on your burner but is this the right way to do it?

Could be.

I downgraded to 2.6.5

I hope so, kinda scared me for a bit. I had a problem like this at one time. i dreaded the thought of fixing it again.

here is a patch that fixes cdrecord (but not k3b):

There might be an obvious answer to this, but I'm getting a bit rusty on the linux front (been working too long with windoze). What exactly is the differense between the vanilla kernel and the 2.6.8-1.521 kernel? Is it only two different versions? (rev. 1 and 1.521?)
I've been recompiling until I was blue in the face just to get all my hardware running. Will I now have to go through the whole thing again, or are they so similar that I can use my hard-earned .config file from 2.6.8-1.521 on the vanilla kernel (I'm assuming the 2.6.8-1 is the vanilla kernel?)

Concerned recompiler

The easiest solution for you is to downgrade your kernel to 2.6.7.

How do you downgrade to kernel 2.6.7 after you have upgraded to 2.6.8. I tried "yum -y instal kernel 2.6.7" and that didn't work.

Just thought everyone would like to know that the kernel source 2.6.9-rc1-bk13(linux-2.6.9-rc and the patch-2.6.9-rc1-bk13), downloaded from www.kernel.org with both dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-2.i386.rpm and k3b-0.11.14-1.i386.rpm from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...6/Fedora/RPMS/ are working just fine. The two RPM's should work just fine with the standard 2.6.8 or better kernels from Fedora or /arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernels
