Unable to burn blank dvd
I am using Ubuntu 16.04
I am using k3b as my default dvd burner
When I insert any blank dvd I get the following error:
unable to mount DVD-R Disc location is already mounted
I tried with DVD which already has data
I got the same error
But using nautilus I could access the files
In the same way when I inserted blank DVD k3b correctly detected it and showed all the details.
I tried to burn an ISO. After starting in a smooth way after about a minute it gave me error message: Writing error. My DVD also got corrupted.
It gave the following error report:

Finally I have been able to find the cause of the problem.
My laptop model is Lenovo B50. Its ethernet card is r8168. However lenovo provides drivers for r8168 for Ubuntu which works only upto Ubuntu 12.04 and I have Ubuntu 16.04. As such not only my dvd drive but also ether port is not working, quite frustrating. Now my only option is to use external usb dvd drive and wifi internet.
