I want to burn a CD using Rhythmbox. I cannot get it to work. I want to find out why but more I want to learn how to debug a problem like this, which occurs pretty much any time I try to do anything in Ubuntu.
This page says "Right click on the created or desired playlist and select Create Audio CD". My first question is, why does it say that when right clicking on a Playlist in Rhythmbox does not produce a context menu? Are these instructions years and years out of date or were they always wrong since the beginning?
This page is helpful, explaining that I first need to enable the Audio CD Recorder plugin, then find the menu item in the Playlist menu. I would do that except my plugins list doesn't have Audio CD Recorder and that menu item is missing. My second question is, how do I figure out where that plugin went? Every other Rhythmbox user in the world seems to have it.
Looking for the plugin, I googled "Rhythmbox plugins" and the first link is to this page which literally doesn't exist.
So I have failed to solve this on my own and I'd like to learn better ways to do that in the future.

Lets start with
rhythmbox
package dependencies. On my 16.04 LTS:So I assume that
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder
will fix the problem (it uses Brasero as CD/DVD writer).And make sure that you have enabled Audio CD Recorder in Rhythmbox (go to Tools -> Plugins, checkbox Audio CD Recorder should be checked).
