[mythtv-users] more mytharchive problems (sorry for private message)

[Jeff Campbell]

Lukas,

 After reinstalling mythbuntu 7.10 for like the fourth time and setting 
the permission for my archive directory I am again back at the growisofs 
error.

This is what it says in the README:

2. The script fails with "ERROR: Failed while running growisofs." message.
164 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mytharchive/README#L164> 
	--------------------------------------------------------------------------

<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mytharchive/README#L166> 
	The most likely cause of the error is insufficient file permissions on the
167 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mytharchive/README#L167> 
	cdrom device. Make sure the user that is running the script can both read
168 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mytharchive/README#L168> 
	and write to the device that you use to burn DVDs.

170 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mytharchive/README#L170> 
	How you do that is dependent on how your distribution sets things up. 
It may
171 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mytharchive/README#L171> 
	be sufficient to add the user to the 'cdrom' group. You may also have to
172 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mytharchive/README#L172> 
	relax the permissions on the device itself to allow the cdrom group
173 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mytharchive/README#L173> 
	read/write access to it.


Well that is fine if I knew how to check/modify permissions for the 
cdrom device. They are not talking about the /dev/cdrom are they? I 
think I know how to make sure the mythtv user is in the 'cdrom' group 
but I have no idea how to relax permissions on the device itself.
 Another interesting think I noticed is if I use the eject command for 
dvd or cdrom it opens the door of the dvd drive, using eject cdrom1 
opens the cdrom door. I don't know ubuntu well enough to understand that 
or if that is normal.
