Perhaps this thread should be moved to -questions: it seems to be irrelevant for the -net discuissions. Thu, Feb 07, 2008 at 07:53:32PM +0000, lysergius2001 wrote: > Apologies for the top post?

Verify that you have the devices: ls -l /dev/cd0 /dev/fd0. 2. Check the permissions for devices in an above output. 3. Check vfs.usermount once again: sysctl vfs.usermount. 4. Try to mount device as root via 'mount' utility. 5. Unmount it and try mounting as user via 'mount'. If all the above works, then the problem might be in GUI tools you're using. Maybe they can not locate the devices. Maybe something else. But if the above is not working, then probably GUI tools will not work either. For the k3b: seems like it is just frontend for the cdrecord/cdrdao. If so, then you probably should have /dev/xptX and /dev/passX and permissions must allow to read and write to them. This is surely true for cdrecord, don't know for cdrdao -- not using it. And vfs.usermount should not be relevant for CD recording, if I am not mistaken. -- Eygene
