Be careful: cdrdao is a security risk if installed suid root and wodim is full if Debian specific bugs (there is e.g. no support for BluRay and 50% of all DVD writes fail). Also note that cdrdao and wodim et. al are unsupported and unmaintained since a really long time. The original software is

I'll second Thomas Mayer's solution as to fixing CD burning in K3b and 18.04. Though I run KDE Neon User Edition (based on Ubuntu 18.04, I ran into this very same issue. I found the link that Mr. Mayer provided (without finding this bug report first) and it corrected the issue. To me this is a

This bug report is not against cdrecord but against a broken fork. The specific problem mentioned in the bug report has never been in cdrtools (the original software). The problem mentioned in the bug report results from incorrectly interfacing to hald in the fork. I recommend you to install
