[Multimedia] K3B I'm new I need help.

[johnone]

I think that I may be supposed to be offering help here. and I wish I could.

I'm running an up to date 18.04 LTS.

I used to use PCLinuxOS and I loved the efficiency and simplicity of K3B for burning discs,

However, it aint working here.

I go to burn an audio CD and I get error messages and it won't even start.

And yes I've read that those errors are due to damaged disks so I've tried ditching disks.

Errors say;
cdrecord has no permission to open device.
And.
Modify device settings in K3B to solve this problem.

I have read that K3B does not use cdrecord but instead wodim, so the error message is out of date,

I can't find Device Settings in K3B. It used to just work on PCLOS!

I don't know what to do.

I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

Mildly upset.

Considering the trauma that we are going through.

Take Care Folks.
