[Bug 390012] [NEW] [Kubuntu 9.04] Cannot extract audio from CD as ordinary user

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Fresh install of Kubuntu 9.04 with the default user 'emgaron'. "groups"
for that user reports:

emgaron adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare

The machine is a HP Kayak XM600 which has and Adaptec 29160 U160 SCSI
controller. Attached to that controller are two U160 HDs and (on the
narrow channel) a Plextor PX-40TS SCSI CDROM and a Plextor PX-W1210S CD-
RW.

When I put an audio CD into the PX-W1210S, I can extract audio files from an audio CD as a normal user without problems. If I do the same using the PX-40TS, K3B just hangs at the first file. A cancel only works if I force the ejection of the CD with "eject /dev/sr1".
If I start K3B as root (sudo k3b --cddarip /dev/sr1), the extraction *does* work.

Both dev files for the CDROMs seem to have identical permissions:
~$ ls -l /dev/cdrom*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-06-20 21:40 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-06-20 21:40 /dev/cdrom1 -> sr1
~$ ls -l /dev/sr[01]
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2009-06-20 21:40 /dev/sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 1 2009-06-20 21:40 /dev/sr1

To be sure, I also installed grip and tried the same thing with grip -
with identical results. Extracting audio from sr0 (PX-W1210S) works as
ordinary user, whereas the same from sr1 (PX-40TS) only works as root.

As the same setup has worked fine earlier under SuSE 9.3 before I
installed Kubuntu on it, I think there must be some subtle bug
somewhere. Given that it affects both k3b and grip, it does not seem to
be related to the app. Hence, I'm not sure which package to assign this
to.
