Couldn't make iso file from gnomebaker: unable to get excusive access to drive

this works ok in dapper - the same 0.6.0 version...

It works for me in a clean install of Edgy Eft updated to current packages.

I get this problem on a recent installation of Edgy:

I checked and the CD is not mounted:

$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Following a comment in 58341, I checked permissions in /dev/sg0:

$ ls -la /dev/sg*
crw-rw---- 1 root root 21, 0 2007-01-11 21:10 /dev/sg0
crw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 21, 1 2007-01-11 21:10 /dev/sg1
$

For some reason, /dev/sg0 can't be accessed by the cdrom group. I dunno if this is a problem with the Ubuntu udev rules?

Thanks, Jack
