Hello!

I'm trying to rip an audio cd with soundkonverter using a common user account but I get the message: Failed to extract.
I have success using the root account.
The common user belongs to the following groups: disk wheel audio video cdrom plugdev power users.
I'm using slackware64 current.
Any help?

Is your user account able to read/write the optical drive device?
This can be ascertained from the output of the following command:

Code: Select all

ls -lah /dev/scd* /dev/sr* /dev/cdrom* /dev/cdrw*

Here is the ouput:

Code: Select all

$ ls -lah /dev/scd* /dev/sr* /dev/cdrom* /dev/cdrw*
ls: impossível aceder a /dev/scd*: No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      3 Jul 26 15:47 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      3 Jul 26 15:47 /dev/cdrom0 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      3 Jul 26 15:47 /dev/cdrw -> sr0

brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jul 26 15:47 /dev/sr0

Please provide the output of "id -Gn" - that output looks consistent with the output I have here.

Okay, so you should have sufficient permissions to directly access the drive. If you run SoundKonverter from a terminal, does it output anything relevant during the attempt to extract sound from the disc?

You may find it helpful to enable all debug areas using "kdebugdialog".
