I have downloaded and installed the Grip but I am having trouble running
it. As root I can rip the CD but not as a regular user. I have examined
the file permissions on the CD drive (/dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0)
(brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 11, 0 Apr 12 1999 /dev/sr0)
and I have made sure I am a member of the disk group. I even created a
audio group but this has not made a difference. Here are the
permissions on the program itself (-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root
2388906 Dec 14 16:06 /usr/local/bin/grip*). Any ideas on what I can check
next?

You need to set the same permissions as /dev/sr0 on /dev/sg0
I _think_ the reason for this is whilst sr0 is the block device used for
moving data, sg0 is the character device used for sending scsi commands.

Set SUID on cdrecord, mkisofs, paranoia

How did you get Grip running with the new GNOME? (I'm running Slack 9.0
with Gnome 2.2, and was unable to get it working)

Hey, thanks! I didn't think to change sg0, and I've been having to
run it using kdesu. This works.

I downloaded the source and compiled it. After that everything went fine.
