[Bug 1203559] Re: wodim doesn't find my DVD writer

[Vincent Gerris]

Same issue here. What is even more disturbing is that I am pretty sure that I could just burn to external USB dvd writers before.
Somehow I can't anymore with either Brasero or disc burner.
As a workaround I did the following:
add : 
wodim dev=/dev/sr0 --devices
to /etc/wodim.conf
Use this command to burn:
wodim -v -sao dev=/dev/sr0 Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso

Both brasero and disk burner (right click on iso from nautilus file browser) seem to think the writer is read only.
It would be great if that can be fixed.
