I have run the k3b setup a few times, searched for solutions to this problem also. I am using k3b. I keep getting the "unable to find cdrecord executable error", then it tells me to install it from something called cdrtools or something like that. What am I doing wrong?
I really don't want to be tied to having to do it from a rootshell. I am brand new, so be gentle with me.
Running knoppix 3.3 via CD.
Thanks

Type "which cdparanoia". If it is found on the system (in the $PATH) the response will let you know exactly where.
If you have installed Knoppix (Debian) to your HD, su to root and then type "apt-get install cdparanoia" and it will be fetched and installed for you.

I went to a root shell and typed "k3b" without quotes. That worked perfecly
I did do the cmd that you mentioned. It came up with /user/bin/cdparanoia
I could get to that dir, but I am unclear as to what I should do with this information. Do I add it as a path? I ask this because everything seems to be ok when I run in a shell as root and I am also running off of CD.
Thanks

--I think Klaus fixed this in the 9-24 rev.

I did the following two commands as a root user:
root#chmod u+s /usr/bin/cdrecord
root#chmod o+x /usr/bin/cdrecord
with this changes I could start k3b as knoppix user without complaints.
BUT, is this secure?
