Bug Description
Binary package hint: cdrecord
Using cdrecord to write from command line.
Disk appears to be physically written, i.e. I can see the change of colour one would expect.
Running cdrecord on dummy mode kicks up no problems, so i do the commands as shown below.

However, upon entering the cd again after it was written, dmesg reports
[11193.687112] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
I then tried to fixate the disk using cdrecord, also shown below. This has no effect.
