Blank CDs / DVDs are not recognized

[Rainer Rohde]

When inserting blank CDs / DVDs nothing happens. This behavior seems to be happening since the last kernel update. I get the following error message from dmesg:

Confirmed here too! I could erase a CDRW & DVDRW, but then Ubuntu won't read the blanks, I then tried blank CD-R and DVD-R and its the same thing I cannot use blanks!

Have to return to windows to burn some ISO's!

[AlunJ (alunjames)]

same kernel / arch / error messages as reporter above ^^

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

Just FYI - this behavior persists with the updated kernel "2.6.32-20-generic" as of Apr 13, 2010 as well.

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

FYI - as of today (Apr 14) it does work again! Confirmed with both blank DVDs and CDs.
