Ubuntu 18.04 not recognizing CD/DVD
I am trying to copy files to a CD, but whenever I insert a disk, nothing shows up in the file manager.
I have been reading all over on why this is a problem, but none of the solutions I've found so far seem to lead to some breakthrough.
lshw -C disk
*-disk
description: ATA Disk
product: Samsung SSD 850
physical id: 0.0.0
bus info: scsi@0:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/sda
version: 2B6Q
serial: S2RFNXAH102505Y
size: 931GiB (1TB)

configuration: ansiversion=5 guid=0e778e00-1594-03a3-80e3-9d0365c5e800 logicalsectorsize=512
sectorsize=512
I have also edited fstab to include the following:
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
Also tried running the following commands:
sudo apt install libdvd-pkg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg
I even tried inserting a dvd/cd that has something on it, but it is not recognized either. I have taken apart the dvd drive and all connections look right.
When I run sudo hwinfo --cdrom, I get no output
None of these solutions have worked. What other work arounds are there to try?

Which software are you using or trying to use to burn the CDs?

@GabrielaGarcia, I am trying to usebrasero, but it is not able to find the cd.

Probably the drive itself isn't recognized for some reason or it's faulty. Does it detect CDs or DVDs with content?

@GabrielaGarcia, it detects nothing. But I had used it when I was still running 16.04 and it was working fine. Since the upgrade to 18.04 I haven't tried using any CD's or DVD's so I wasn't able to test that part. I've read that there are issues with playing DVDs on ubuntu 18.04, but I wasn't sure if this was related

Playing DVD-Video is unrelated. I suggest you try a live session with 16.04 and test it there. If it still works then we can be certain there's a software issue with 18.04 but if it doesn't then it's likely to be an hardware problem and a coincidence that it happened at the same time as the upgrade.
