KonCD Cannot Find the CD-Writer
Support knowledgebase (mkrapp-koncd-73)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 7.3
Symptom
KonCD finds neither CD-ROM drive nor CD-writer
Cause
CD-writing requires root permissions.
Solution
Start the KDE menu editor and search for the KonCD entries.
Please note that there are two entries: one in the
SuSE menu and the other one in the KDE menu! Click on
"K", "Configure panel", and "Menu editor"
You can find the KonCD entry at Multimedia -> CD -> KonCD
Add the string kdesu before the existing command. E.g.:
kdesu koncd -caption "%c" %i %m
Save this change and repeat the procedure for
SuSE -> Multimedia -> CD -> KonCD.
If you start KonCD now, you will be asked for the root password. After that,
KonCD will correctly detect your CD-writer, always provided that the SCSI or IDE-SCSI configuration
is right.
