can you mount CD-Rom's as a _regular_ user?
If yes then there is something with your ripper. ( I use Grip so I can't
tell you more)
Yes I can mount CDs. I can also burn cds from the command line using sudo.
It is a general problem with some Gnome 2.6 cdrom device alias issue since
neither ripping or Nautilus CD burner work logged into Gnome2.6 as a normal
user. If I log into Gnome as root the ripper works, I haven't checked CD
burning but I suspect it works too. Hence it is a permissions problem on
the device. I've made myself a member of cdrom group and reset the groups
(to cdrom) on every permutation of the device and it's aliases I can think
of without fixing the problem. It is likely both programs use some device
alias I have not thought of. I'm guessing anyone who knows the device
alias these programs use will know the solution to this problem.
