The command line tool we will use is "wodim", which allows to burn data into CD / DVD discs. To install wodim under Ubuntu, run the following command from the terminal:
sudo apt-get install wodim
To detect the name of your CD/DVD burner, run this command:
wodim --devices
The returned output for my system:
~$ wodim --devices
wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 dev='/dev/sg1' rwrw-- : 'DVD-RW' 'DVR-216'
The burner name is marked in red. Insert a blank CD/DVD disc into your burner, then burn the iso image with this command:
wodim -v -dev='/dev/sg1' image.iso
Replace /dev/sg1 and image.iso with your own burner and iso image names respectively. If you want to burn to CD/DVD-RW disc, you can erase it first with this command:
wodim dev=/dev/cdrom blank=fast
Then use the command given above to burn the iso image.
