Public bug reported: When trying to burn a data project with Brasero it exits with "unknown error". In the log file it says the following:
BraseroWodim stderr: wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits. BraseroWodim called brasero_job_get_flags BraseroWodim stderr: wodim: Resource temporarily unavailable. Cannot get mmap for 16781312 Bytes on /dev/zero. BraseroWodim called brasero_job_get_flags BraseroWodim stdout: TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM BraseroWodim stderr: HUP BraseroWodim stdout: HUP BraseroWodim process finished with status 11 BraseroWodim called brasero_job_error BraseroWodim finished with an error BraseroWodim asked to stop because of an error error = 0 message = "no message" BraseroWodim stopping Session error : unknown (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2859) Current user is a member of the cdrom group. As a workaround I set setuid bit on /usr/bin/wodim, after that Brasero was able to burn the DVD. sudo chmod +s $(which wodim) As far as I remember DVD burning used to work on Ubuntu 17.10.
