Bug Description
Binary package hint: wodim
For some reason, Lucid Lynx correctly brought up a dialog when I inserted a blank CD only the first time.
After that, it does not work. I'm using exactly the same brand of CD-Rs bought at the same time and I've tried several.
The first time, I cancelled out of the suggestion to burn the CD. Later, I right-clicked on a file and did "Write to Disc...". It brought up the dialog and chunked away for a while. But, then it got an "Unknown error has occurred" and popped out the CD.
After this, the above described behavior seems to occur -- when I insert a blank CD, a dialog does not appear and when I try to "Write to Disc...", it says "Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD."
I also tried using wodim on the command line and it says:
$ sudo wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -v -data trash/debian-
wodim: No write mode specified.
wodim: Assuming -tao mode.
wodim: Future versions of wodim may have different drive dependent defaults.

I tried sticking a CD with data on it and it correctly read it.

BTW, I just now tried burning the ISO image to the same CD-R on my Debian desktop using cdrecord and it works fine.
