I thought that the days of things such as this were long gone, but apparently not.
I start k3b and find that it doesn't see the optical drive for either reading or writing. Other programs (vlc, mplayer) have no problem accessing it. This is k3b 2.0.2 and kde 4.10.2. To show a few of the obvious things:
Yes, the user is in the cdrom group. Any idea why this isn't working?

Is "sr0" mentioned in the output of the following command?
I suspect that UDisks is not aware of your drive for some reason - or KDE is not able to access it (which will have other consequences as well, such as not being able to mount removable media like flash drives).

You are correct - it is not there:
You are also correct about flash drives. I just plugged one in, and while the system saw it, and I could mount and access it (as root), KDE refused to acknowledge its existence. |

UDisks is completely absent from that output - as is any meaningful information from UPower (which will usually mention the AC power supply even for desktop computers).
Is your user able to access UDisks? You could try running this command to test:
It should return a list of drives if successful.
