Bug#374685: nautilus-cd-burner: fails to call cdrecord properly

[Joerg Schilling]

Hi,

either your cdrecord binary is not properly installed suid root,
or you are suffering from the fact that Debian distributes 
bastardized (and broken) variants of cdrecord.

Proof by:

cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority(). 

This is a verification for not being root.


If you like to make sure that a suid root cdrecord is able to work
properly on Linux-2.6.8.1 or newer, you should use a self-compiled
original source:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

A cdrecord from the original source includes a proper workaround for the
incompatible interface changes from Linux-2.6.8.1.

Note that the official cdrecord version contains the official DVD writing 
support and not the broken code offered by Debian and others.

Jörg
