- Remove sentence that suggests that FreeBSD 7.x is still a going concern - Remove reference to sysctl that doesn't exist in any supported version This does not fix the problem that k3b doesn't *work*, though. Since cdrecord no longer accepts dev=/dev/cd0 , k3b will consistently fail to blank a CD, as reported in the linked PR. PR: 228408 Submitted by: jwb

1. The FreeBSD k3b port supports SCSI drives only. If you have IDE CD or DVD
|
|
drives, use them through the cam system. See Chapter 17.5.1 of the handbook
|
|
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html)
|
|
2. k3b has to be started from a root console, which is not recommended.
|
|
Alternatively, do ALL of the following:
|
|
a. Set the suid flag on cdrecord and cdrdao. The 'Notes' chapter of
|
|
'man cdrecord' discusses this.
|
|
b. Set the vfs.usermount sysctl variable to 1.
|
|
# sysctl vfs.usermount=1
|
|
Add the line vfs.usermount=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf
|
|
Note that this has negative security implications
|
|
c. Every user must have read and write access to /dev/cdX:
|
|
- add to your /etc/devfs.rules under '[system=10]':
|
|
add path 'cd*' mode 666
|
|
- or if you prefer allow access for a group XXX only add instead:
|
|
add path 'cd*' mode 660 group XXX
|
|
- to enable it, add to your /etc/rc.conf a
|
|
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
|
|
d. 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). Note, that this is a security
|
|
leak as well but that there is no alternative!
|
|
- add to your /etc/devfs.rules under '[system=10]':
|
|
add path 'pass*' mode 666
|
|
add path 'xpt0' mode 666
|
|
- or if you prefer allow access for a group XXX only add instead:
|
|
add path 'pass*' mode 660 group XXX
|
|
add path 'xpt0' mode 660 group XXX
|
|
- to enable it, add to your /etc/rc.conf
|
|
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
|
|
- to apply these changes without reboot, run as root:
|
|
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart
|
|
3. 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.
