Freeze when try to access DVDRW
I'm running 18.04 on an hp 15-db0069hw laptop. The hp DVDRW
works fine in Windows (dual-booted). If I try to play a DVD in Ubuntu, it usually does the first time, but if I try a second one, it freezes. Then, even lshw freezes; and if I try to access the drive (say, with Handbrake) or mount it (/dev/sr0), or use "eject", these all freeze. Opening and closing the drive, etc, does not work. I tried lsmod, before and after the freeze, to see if I could learn something about drivers, but there was no change. Once this freezing begins, even shutting down Ubuntu freezes. But on rebooting I (usually) get another play on the drive.
Any thoughts would be most welcome.

The freezing is only of the terminal posting the command. Everything else (including playing a DVD on an external drive) works just fine.
