I've been tinkering with making CDs with Mate.
I can make the ISO files using mkisofs(8) both in root and in my account. I can burn and, for CD-RWs, blank them in root. If I try to use cdrecord(1) in my account, though, I get several lines of error messages and nothing happens.
I've had problems in playing audio CDs in my account, but not in root. I eventually succeeded using VLC, though Mate kept giving me an error message whenever I put a disk in the drive. (My settings and permissions for this appeared to be correct.)
In view of this, I'm wondering if the problems with cdrecord(1) might be due to something in Mate. Did I overlook something, and is there a way around this, or do I have to log in as root to burn disks?
Please advise. Thank you.
