Problems with K3b and devices

Hi all, here is the problem: my .... device that burns DVDs (I don't know how to translate "masterizzatore" in English, sorry) is recognized by the sistem, but it isn't by k3b. I had changed my ....device and the old one was detected and it ran ok... Do I have to change something in the configuration to use the new... device?

It's a samsung writemaster TS-H552B

Thank you for the time spent :oops:

Update: k3b recognize it when run under root sessions. I've found the dvdrecorder link in /dev that is owned by the root. I've tried to change the proprety but it didn't (grrrrrrrrrrrrrr :evil: ). Is there a way to change it by konsole?

You should be able to run "chown" as root to change the ownership of those device files. For instance, my /dev/cdrom (really a CD-RW drive) is linked to /dev/hdd. It used to be owned by root. I was able to change it to myself using "chown" without any problem.

Why change the owner and group?

Just give "others" permissions on the device
try this:
chmod 666 /dev/hdd
