Cannot record material onto DVD's.
by dadjowa from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55MPV)
I am using up to date Mint 19.1. The drive is an ASUSTek DRW-24D5MT.
I tried recording music onto a DVD+r disc using both Brasero and K3b for an imminent funeral. No luck.
I swapped drives without any success.
I then interrogated the drive via 'inxi-Fxzd' in the console. It showed that it only rw DVD- types. I now own a bundle of DVD-R discs. I still cannot record anything onto the disk. What am I missing?
I have been using linux for 4 years, read the Linux magazine and I still feel like a dunce!
