I don't think the problem is with K3b, but it reports the CDROM and DVD drives as not being able to write. Please see my later posts about the contents of /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
I've run out of ideas. This has happened to me several times in the past. Always caused by one of 3 things:
(a) putting in a blank CD/DVD which is bad; I had previously tried a couple more with the same result. I now know it has nothing to do with the media.
(b) putting in the wrong sized disc for what is required; eg when k3b 'knows' that it is to burn 1.0GB of data but a 700MB CD is inserted; I have both a CDROM and DVD burner and tried in both.
(c) an earlier attempt to burn to a disc failed but some data has been written to the directory sectors and you then try and reuse the disc thinking that it is still a "clean" disc. Nope. I worked though a pile of 'unused' from the spindle I purchased.
BTW, after you have inserted such a disc did you look in DEVICE>MEDIA INFO? K3B refused to even acknowledge there was a blank disk there.
OK. I've just read over your original post. Firstly, what happens if you start k3b FIRST and then try and insert a blank disc? Secondly, you have a "CD burner" [sr0] and a "DVD burner" [sr1]. As far a I know - which has always been the case with me and I only have the one burner, DVDRW - the DVD burner will also burn CDs so why do you have a burner for CDs and another for DVDs? k3b confused?
