The drive replies SCSI error condition 2 3A 00, which means
that it does not see the CD-R.

The GUI programs often inspect the drive and medium situation by
means of the kernel or userspace device management.
Quite a lot of software layers is involved then.
But if the drive says that there is no disc in it, the urge by
Brasero is well understandable but also futile.

It got this info from the drive (which seems willing but inapt).

This command should work fine.

The good news is that the media are probably still usable
after the failure. (No traces of an attempt to prepare writing
of data to them.)
Bad news is that you will probably have to get a new burner.
Have a nice day :)
