crhyloveHow do I fix k3b so I can actually burn CDs?  Sorry.  Boomer problems I guess?  (I was Gen X the whole time).06:02
crhyloveI can't run it as root I get a Qt error.06:07
rrqcrhylove: which error?06:35
crhyloveSome kind of permission error.  Hold on.  I'll drop/paste.06:36
crhyloveI just apt installed k3b.  Is that not the advisable way?06:36
crhyloverrq, https://files.catbox.moe/lixu4r.png06:37
rrqshould be. but apparently k3b expects the user to be member of an "operator" group06:39
crhyloveI have root privileges, but running k3b from a root privilege gives me a Qt error.  LOL06:39
rrqwhich error?06:39
crhyloveApplication failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized.06:40
crhyloveIn root.06:40
crhyloveUser land works great, but I can't burn a CD.  LOL06:40
rrqyou run X?06:40
crhyloveYeah MATE06:40
rrqand "pgrep -a Xorg" tells an -auth argument?06:41
crhyloveIn root or reg?06:41
rrqas root06:41
rrqthe root that want to run krb06:41
rrqmay need to do: XAUTHORITY=<auth file> k3b06:42
rrqteplace "<auth file>" with the filename06:42
rrqreplace ..06:42
crhylove usr/lib/xorg/Xorg06:42
crhyloveLOL06:42
rrqis that the auth file?06:43
crhyloveyeah, that pgrep.06:43
crhylove  I mean, the first part....06:43
crhylove:0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch06:43
rrqI was asking for the -auth argument06:43
rrqwhich is /var/run/lightdm/root/:006:44
crhyloveLooks like my ex-wife:  -nolisten06:44
rrqso, do: XAUTHORITY=/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 k3b06:44
crhyloveCould not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.06:46

crhyloveIs there a better CD burning software than k3b?23:09
crhyloveusermod no longer works?23:10
crhylovehttps://files.catbox.moe/f69sch.png23:16
crhyloveThat's brasero23:16
crhylovehttps://files.catbox.moe/lixu4r.png23:17
crhyloveThat's k3b23:17
Xenguycrhylove, Are you burning an ISO to a CD, or ...?23:22
crhyloveTrying to copy an audio CD.23:25
crhyloveRight now I'm using k3b to make the image on the hard drive.23:25
crhyloveBut I haven't found a way to actually burn disks yet in Devuan.23:25
crhyloveJust installed xfburn, but there's no image creator in that app, so...  Making the image in k3b rn.23:25
crhylove(which works)23:25
crhylove41% done....23:26
XenguyFrom the 2 screenshots it seems as though you perhaps just need to install some software and/or configure yourself a member of the 'operator' group23:28
crhyloveYeah, been trying to do both of those...23:29
crhyloveusermod no longer exists?23:29
XenguyI see this one:23:29
Xenguyusermode - Graphical tools for certain user account management tasks23:29
hagbardusermod still does exist23:30
crhylovexfburn is working!!!23:31
* crhylove crosses finges23:31
XenguyLooks like usermod requires root privileges23:32
hagbardusermod is part of package passwd23:34
crhyloveMaybe that's not installed?  I'll check...23:34
_ds_It's “Priority: required”. I'd expect it to be there.23:39
crhylovepasswd is already newest version....23:42
crhylove  Well, at any rate, xfburn burned an audio disk!  So:  Success.  :)23:42
crhylovexfburn kinda sucks for titling the Audio CD, etc..  Maybe I need to make a better image file or something?23:54
* crhylove goes about his work.23:54
