I'm running Lucid. I've got a TST internal DVD/CD-RW drive. This drive reads music cds OK, reads DVDs OK, can burn data DVD-R, but CANNOT burn CD-R or CD-RW. What happens is this- in Brasero, I can start an audio cd project, but then when it prompts me to insert blank media if I don't want it to burn to an iso. I insert the blank media, the drive spins up, but nothing happens. There is nothing to choose but an iso. The blank media does not appear on the desktop. The blank media does not show up in when I go to "computer" and look at the DVD/CD drive.
Here's a little info from the command line:
cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info

Based on a look at some of the bugs reports that seem similar but not exactly the same, I did this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppaitti/ppa
And then updated. Then:
sudo apt-get install udev
It didn't seem to change anything. Here are some diagnostics which I hope are helpful:

I've also tried GnomeBaker. That didn't work (I can remember the nature of the error). I also tried K3b. K3b got me farther in the process and allowed me to burn things, but it always burned coasters.
My apologies if I have not been able to provide a full breadcrumb-trail of what I have tried thus far to fix the problem... I've forgotten lots of what I've tried!
The drive worked previously to burn cds in windows XP, but since I haven't tried that in a good while, I can't 100% rule out a physical defect of the drive itself. It just seems unlikely, given that the drive can still read cds, and can burn DVDs.
I'm interested in the cd-burning capability so can burn cds for my car. If there's any more info I can provide to help with a solution, please let me know.
