Description Alan Robertson 2020-02-27 23:17:48 UTC 
"No optical drive found.
K3b did not find any optical device in your system."

Kernel 5.6 no longer detects any optical drives.

Reverting to kernel 5.5.5 fixes this.

It's not just burning - reading any previous CD / DVD disks and backups no longer works.

Tried this with Mint, Fedora and Manjaro with same result.
