Do you mean for a particular DVD? Or for the writer itself?
If its a DVD, then check you used sensible permissions when you created the image (assuming you used rockridge). I've made that mistake before, and its quite annoying!
If its the drive, then I'm not so sure. Check the permissions for the device file itself (/dev/dvdrecorder) and also for the trail of symlinks which lead back to the real device (/dev/hdc). Does Suse use special hardware groups? Do you have to be a member of cdrom? You could also check dmesg to make sure the device has started and been mounted properly.
Hi Richard Many thanks for reply, have checked all permissions, and groups, all seem O.K. It is the same for all data CD's DVD,s including the ones I used yesterday I loaded the other operating system to check the DVD recorder, which functions O.K, in that operating system. It was working perfectly yesterday, i.e upon insertion of DVD the DVD would request to be opened in new window, today the same or any data DVD/CD gives me (and root) "permission denied." Yet audio CD's and Video DVD;s play O.K. From dmseg Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed. ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 libata version 1.20 loaded. It has been fine since I loaded Suse 10.1, (about a month) . But I did get a Suse update yesterday, but I cannot see what has changed Kind Regards - Nick Daniels
