This was also the fix for me. Repeating here for an easy copypasta: sudo ls [enter your password, then copy and paste these lines:]
sudo chmod -v 4711 /usr/bin/cdrdao sudo chmod -v 4711 /usr/bin/wodim sudo chmod -v 0755 /usr/bin/growisofs The purpose of the 'sudo ls' is just to grant sudo access once. The remaining sudo calls will not prompt for the next few minutes. For the developers, here is the output: mode of 'cdrdao' changed from 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) to 4711 (rws--x--x) mode of 'wodim' changed from 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) to 4711 (rws--x--x) mode of 'growisofs' retained as 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770502 Title: Brasero hangs when burning cds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/1770502/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
