My guess is that you have a permissions problem with your DVD device
(/dev/hdc). Check the permissions there. Mine looks like this:
brw-rw----&nbsp; 1 root disk 22, 0 Mar 10 12:47 hdc<br>
<br>
If that is your case&nbsp; just `gpasswd -a &lt;yourusername&gt; disk`
and you should be good to go. Don't bother trying to change the
permissions on hdc since they will be reverted back when you next
reboot.<br>
