it would be very slow, if you only want to watch not burn, use this

This will give you read access to cd/dvd no KDE needed

Re: How to Burn a CD/DVD with KDE v4 by PB (K3B)
 

Oh. We must have just missed each other's post edit. :) I added in afterwards that, as user, it says "/user/bin/su: command not found".

So, I must royally screwed something up. Plugging in my burner, turning on USB host mode, waiting 10 seconds and then running K3B (with the latter part of the earlier mentioned command) does not allow K3B (or even the K3B player) to see my DVD drive. I think I may have to reinstall all this weekend ... might be good since I'm going to try to partition my card different with your advance install-tools. :) :) :)

Is that a mistype in your post? "user" instead of "usr" or did you type it wrong when you tested?

How did you install KDE?


You can get su from here, if you do not have it?

It may be in /usr/local/bin in my old KDE versions?

Re: How to Burn a CD/DVD with KDE v4 by PB (K3B)
 

whoops... it was a mistype, but for the post only. I just doublechecked the terminal, and it is indeed a "sudo: /usr/bin/su: command not found" response.

As far as where I got KDE, I remember getting it from a plain white page that had all your .debs listed in big blue fonts. Is this the right place to have gotten it from?

does
return anything?

Re: How to Burn a CD/DVD with KDE v4 by PB (K3B)
 

Well, I guess go to this link and get su
http://tablethacker.com/wp/?p=56

then it would work.

Also if its in /usr/local/bin you could do
ln -s /usr/local/bin/su /usr/bin/su

Re: How to Burn a CD/DVD with KDE v4 by PB (K3B)
 

I haven't tried installing your su package yet, penguinbait, but I did try fatalsaint's question, su is showing up in "/bin/su" instead of "/usr/bin/su". So, I adapted that long command line to reflect this and k3b ran.

I don't have my burner with me (at work right now), but tonight, I'm going to try to set up a symlink from /usr/bin/su to /bin/su and see if that fixes everything... including detecting my burner. It was detected with cdvdtools, but not this package with k3b. (Though, when I set the tablet to host mode, the drive does respond by spinning up.)

Re: How to Burn a CD/DVD with KDE v4 by PB (K3B)
 

That won't work. The su I call is the GNU su which supports the -C the /bin/su from busybox does not support the -C

It may be that /bin/su is the correct one, I used to replace the /bin/su with mine, but I stopped doing that.

do an

ls -l /bin/su

is it a link pointing to "busybox" or what does it show?

Re: How to Burn a CD/DVD with KDE v4 by PB (K3B)
 

In KDE, I run that command and I see "lrwxrwxrwx 1 user users 19 2008-10-18 11:53 /bin/su -> ../usr/local/bin/su" Does that help?

Re: How to Burn a CD/DVD with KDE v4 by PB (K3B)
 

Yes your running an older version of the KDE install.

Just run (as root)

ln -s /usr/local/bin/su /usr/bin/su

Now the menu shortcut should work
