I was able to burn a few CD-Rs, but then Brasero (and even Ubuntu itself) stopped recognizing the fact that there was a blank CD-R in the drive.
I have rebooted the system twice to try to fix it with no avail.
Going off of previous threads regarding this topic (or similar), I have the output from the following commands:
Code:
$ wodim -prcap
wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.
