k3bsetup2 missing in edgy (0.12.16-1ubuntu2)

I thought k3bsetup isn't required any more.

If this isn't the case, please respond to this bug.

When I start k3b, it says that i need to solve a problem (root
permissions) by running k3bsetup2. So it still seems to be needed.

k3bsetup2 is not supposed to be run like that

the other part however is Bug #57105 which will be fixed soon

can you try to launch "kmshell k3bsetup2" as root, and tell me what about please ;)

I suppose you meant "kcmshell k3bsetup2", kmshell is an unknown
command. Running this gives the same result:

kcmshell (kdelibs): WARNING: Could not find module 'k3bsetup2'.

Which is not surprising, since the script "k3bsetup" is:

do you still have this problem with 0.12.17?

did you mean by changing the bug title that it is fixed?

hi, i have the same problem, the same result with the command

dino@skynet:~$ kmshell k3bsetup2
bash: kmshell: command not found

thanks to fixed

Possible fix at the bottom...but first details.

fresh install of edgy.
then did:
apt-get install k3b
k3b

created a new CD project, clicked burn.
then got the permissions error in k3b
"cdrecord has no permission to open the device. you may use k3bsetup to solve the problem"

running "sudo k3bsetup" gives me the same error message as the other comments.
kcmshell (kdelibs): WARNING: Could not find module 'k3bsetup2'.

I got around this problem by installing "kcontrol". which is one of the recommends for k3b.

k3bsetup still didnt fix permissions, but thats a different bug report:)

@davidm

are you in the cdrom group? (look for your user name in the cdrom line of /etc/group)

k3bsetup is not required in kubuntu as permission to burn cds is done via groups and there is no need to use setuid programs

yes, In the cdrom group.
Using ubuntu not kubuntu.

in the K3b debugging output window I get the following

Error trying to open /dev/sg0 exclusively (Permission denied)... retrying in 1 second.
/usr/bin/X11/cdrecord: Permission denied. Cannot open '/dev/sg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver.

even though the device is set to /dev/scd0 in the k3b options.
device perms:
$ ls -la /dev/scd0
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2007-01-29 16:21 /dev/scd0
$ ls -la /dev/sg0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 21, 0 2007-01-29 16:21 /dev/sg0

after I change /dev/sg0 to the same group as /dev/scd0, I get the following error in k3b's debugging window:

Closing, as k3bsetup isn't meant to be run like that.
