I'm also unable to write any data DVD's using Brasero, Nautilus' bullt- in disc writing, and GnomeBaker at any supported speed (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 'Max Speed').
I haven't tried K3B, but I'm going to try growisofs from the console and see if it works for a dummy burn. ... It doesn't. $ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /path/to/files Output: 8<-----CUT------ 0.34% done, estimate finish Wed Dec 23 04:19:46 2009 0.67% done, estimate finish Wed Dec 23 04:19:48 2009 1.00% done, estimate finish Wed Dec 23 04:19:47 2009 /dev/dvd: "Current Write Speed" is 8.2x1352KBps. ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C:-[ wr...@lba=10h failed with SK=5h/INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE]: Invalid argument :-( write failed: Invalid argument /dev/dvd: flushing cache /dev/dvd: updating RMA /dev/dvd: closing session 8<-----CUT------ dmesg: 8<-----CUT------ [ 1287.641611] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0 [ 1287.643271] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [ 1287.643280] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] [ 1287.643289] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Add.
