The FreeBSD k3b port supports SCSI drives only. If you have IDE CD or DVD drives, use them through the cam system. See Chapter 12.5.9 of the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html#ATAPICAM) 2. Your CD and DVD drives must have a mount point in /etc/fstab. They have to be accessed through their atapicam device if possible. I.e. the drives have to be adressed by e.g. /dev/cd0 instead of /dev/acd0. 3. k3b has to be started from a root console, which is not recommended. Alternatively do ALL of the following: 3a. set the suid flag on cdrecord and cdrdao. The 'Notes' chapter of 'man cdrecord' discusses this. 3b. - For every user who should be able to use k3b and for every CD or DVD device add a directory in the users home directory. These directories must be owned by the corresponding user. For each such directory add a line in /etc/fstab (see remark 2), like: /dev/cd0c /usr/home/XXX/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto,nodev,nosuid 0 0 Furthermore allow user mounts as described in topic 9.22 of the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#USER-FLOPPYMOUNT To make the chmod's to /dev/cdX permanent, do the following: * add 'devd_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf * add a 'perm cdX 666' to /etc/devfs.conf for each cd/dvd device. X is the device number. If you prefer allow access for a group only, add a 'perm cdX 660' instead, followed by an 'own cdX root:XXX' where XXX is the group name. Alternatively (especially if you are using hot plug capable CD or DVD drives) you could add an 'add path 'cd*' mode 666' or an 'add path 'cd*' mode 660 group XXX' to your /etc/devfs.rules under '[system=10]'. To enable it, add a 'devfs_system_ruleset="system"' to your /etc/rc.conf. - or just give mount and umount the suid flag, which is a security leak. 3c. Every user who should be able to use k3b must have read and write access to all pass through devices connected with CD and DVD drives and to the /dev/xpt0 device. Run 'camcontrol devlist' to identify those devices (seek string 'passX' at the end of each line and modify the rights of /dev/passX). Note, that this is a security leak as well but that there is no alternative! To make this changes permanent, add 'devd_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf as described above. Furthermore add a 'perm passX 666' for each pass device and a 'perm xpt0 666'. If you prefer to bind the access rights to a group, use the own command as described above. If you prefer to set this rights dynamically, add a line 'add path 'pass*' ...' to your /etc/devfs.rules as described above. 4. Check, that DMA is activated for atapi devices: 'sysctl hw.ata.atapi_dma' If not, set it to 1 and put a 'hw.ata.atapi_dma=1' into /boot/loader.conf. 5. Create a directory on a partition, which has enough disk space to hold a CDs or DVDs content (usually below /usr). Enter this directory in Settings-> Configure K3b...->Misc. 6. If you experience problems while burning CDs, try to set the cdrdao driver manually. To do so choose Settings->Configure K3b...->Devices. Below the CD recorder click on the string "auto" behind "Cdrdao driver:" For most of the recent drives "generic-mmc" or "generic-mmc-raw" should work. See http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html. To read this instructions again, type 'make showinfo' in the k3b port directory -- This message coming soon to an illegal DVD.
