Re: K3b says "no suitable writer found" if run as normal user

I didn't upgrade the kernel from 2.4.18 for fun! I didn't know that I had 
to justify, why I upgraded it... sorry. All the other tools work by the 
way. I did not have to upgrade cdrecord, because it is still working. The 
fact that K3b works if I am locked in as root and cdrecord works with all 
users suggests that this is not a kernel-problem, am I right?  
 
Thanks anyway!
