I am trying to use Kaudiocreator to rip, but I can do it only being root.
Unfortunately Kaudiocreator does not give me any error message, not even if
I launch it from the konsole.
I suspect some permissions problem, but I don't know where else to look. So
far, everything looks ok:

fil@box:~$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2006-01-12 13:36 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0
fil@box:~$ ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw-rw- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 1999-04-13 06:24 /dev/sr0
fil@box:~$ groups
users audio video cdrom burning

I use Slackware 10.2

Which kernel do you use? 2.4? 2.6 with/without udev?

2.4 (bare.i that comes with slack 10.2), and I am not familiar with udev
(sorry).

anyway if I type ude + [tab] I get this:

bash-3.00# udev
udev udevcontrol udevsend
udev_run_devd udevd udevstart
udev_run_hotplugd udevinfo udevtest

Udev only concerns you when you run a 2.6 kernel (which I strongly recommend
for desktop use).

I remember having had the same problem with Kaudiocreator. I also vaguely
remember something about /dev/sr0 AND /dev/sg0, as well as a chmod 666 to
make it run correctly. This kind of details (rarely) make me miss OS X...
(half-joking, but only half).

Cheers,

Niki

I've also had this problem. under root chmod 755 /dev/hdx <---which ever
ide device that the cdrom resides on. and within kaudiocreator change the
device to /dev/hdx in the drop down menu instead of the sym link thats
usually there (/dev/cdrom ..etc)

ps ------- I just reread your post. change /dev/hdx with /dev/sr0 in the
example above.

I know bugger all because I am just beginning but I'd guess that if you
added your other (non-root) login to the group 'cdrom' then it wouldn't work
either.......?

You might just be a member of 'users'......

Have you done this as 'root'? If you chmode 666 /dev/sr0 it should work (as
niki wrote) IF you have 666 on /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom IS linked
to /dev/sr0. If it works if you are logged in as root then this steps
should make it work if you are logged in as another user.
If it still doesn't work check witch group /dev/cdrom belongs to, then make
your user a member of this group. Or change the ownership of /dev/cdrom to
your fittings.

fil@box:~$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2006-01-12 13:36 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0
fil@box:~$ ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw-rw- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 1999-04-13 06:24 /dev/sr0
fil@box:~$ groups
users audio video cdrom burning

Now I have added my user to the group "root", but it still doesn't work

You should try adding your user to the group cdrom (owner is root), since
that is the group that /dev/cdrom belongs to. If not even that helps then
it must be somewhere else there is an error. Since it should help giving
everyone the rights rw to /dev/sr0.Wich other groups are your user a member
of? If you put in a music cd in the cdplayer and starts Kaudiocreator, what
response do you get? You said that you don't get any error msg, but you
should get something else.
