Hi I have been transferring data files from my DVD rewriter, however yesterday morning I suddenly got message "permission denied" to DVD, as user, and as root. I can play an audio CD from it, also play a video DVD System Suse 10.1x64
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.
