Garuda doesn't detect empty compact disks

I am using Dr460nized edition and whenever I put a new and empty cd into my cd-rom-drive...
Garuda doesn't detect it...

It does detect cd which has some data on it...

Depending on how your device is detected you may need to be in either the optical group or the storage group.

You can check the udev rules for your device or just add yourself to both and see if it helps.

Remember that you have to logout and login for group changes to take effect.

Could this be due to the fact that it is not possible to mount a device without a file system (as I guess a blank CD should be)?

I will try this...

I was also thinking about this...

I tried @dalto's suggestion...
Didn't work out...

What is the "impact" of this?
I mean, if you need to burn a CD/DVD, if you install a relevant tool does it work?
Sorry for the stupid question, I've not been using CD/DVDs for a long time and cannot even check...

I didn't get you...
I don't know how to burn a CD is it ain't detected by the system...

How do you know it isn’t detected?

I tried it...

Try installing a burning tool, e.g. k3b and see if it works...

Ok...will try...

I mean, how are you determining it isn’t detected? What method are you using?

It is also possible that you are missing some CD/DVD support packages. It's very likely that Garuda doesn't install every package that might be wanted by default as optical drive usage is not common these days.
