Under Ubuntu (unless you changed the defaults), there's no SCSI devices
for the CD-ROM/DVD.  You can access your CD-ROM/DVD using the device
node "/dev/cdrom".

I never used K3b or KDE but I think you need to run an *application*
called "k3bsetup" (or "K3bsetup").

Try running that application and see what you get.
