I’m having an issue trying to burn a music CD for use in my (very old, I know I know) car. I’m running FedoraKDE (40) and Brasero, a Liteon brand external optical DVDRW drive, CD-R (TDK brand), and a Framework 16.

The issue I’m having seems to be that the blank disks(maybe?) aren’t recognized automatically by Fedora, when I pop a full commercially released CD in it’ll play/rip, but with a blank disk nothing happens, and I don’t know where to “save” the “image” of this album I’m creating in Brasero to get it on the disk.

Someone on a random linux forum told some other guy to run cdrecord -checkdrive which says my drive is at /dev/sr0 with a blank disk, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Do I choose sr0 as the place to save it? It says “something something overwrite” when I try which makes me wary, it seems it wants to overwrite “sr0” itself and either bork my drive or install, but maybe?

I’m positive it’s just something simple I’m missing, any help would be greatly appreciated and I can answer questions and run commands if needed (but I don’t actually have WIFI rn, so I’ll have to have the package for said command already.)

Thanks in advance.

    Me too! Lol. He’s actually not paying for it either, his brother is, but I did nonetheless lol, thanks dad (or mom or gender neutral parental unit, whatever sarcastic parent you identify with, I’m inclusive.)

    It’s definitely plugged in, it works with CLI cdrecord. I just would like to find a GUI to match.

    Naw I’ll be working tomorrow before working on my computer stuff I mean. Drinking now, no working!
