No disc writing tool is present Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 but there is no disk writing tool like Brasero disk burner present.

Haven't booted into 18.04 to make a screen shot and post a proper answer, but Brasero functionality is built into nautilus now (in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). Simply right click on the ISO file and choose option to burn to DVD or create Bootable USB. — WinEunuuchs2Unix, Jul 22 '18 at 16:31
Install it through the GUI or type `sudo apt-get install brasero` in a terminal. — Thomas, Jul 22 '18 at 16:32
Did you choose "minimal installation" instead of *normal installation* while installing? — pomsky, Jul 22 '18 at 16:34

brasero is a package in the "universe" repository:

walt@bat:~(0)$ apt policy brasero
brasero:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.12.1-1ubuntu3~16.04
  Version table:
     3.12.1-1ubuntu3~16.04 500
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/universe amd64 Packages
     3.12.1-1ubuntu2 500
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages

so, a simple sudo apt install brasero will install it.

Brasero is a simple application to burn, copy and erase CD and DVD media: audio, video or data. It features among other things:

On-the-fly burning
Multisession support
On-the-fly conversion of music playlists in all formats supported by GStreamer

To install open software center and search for Brasero or open a terminal and type

sudo apt install brasero

Afterward, type "brasero" in the search bar and you will find it. It's there in my OS.

Yes, of course. If it's not installed you will be redirected to the Software center. Just install it from there. I got it from ubuntu software center. – Pramod Dissanayake Jul 22 '18 at 16:36
