But when I tried to read it in Linux, either nothing happens. Most often those DVDs are readable by WINDOWS!! Even they can be read by DVD players if  I burn songs in that.

No, this isn't normal. It's probably just a poor quality burn due to
an error in OPC calculation. I can think of two reasons:
1. The laser/ lens of your DVD burner isn't performing optimally. Use
a cleaning fluid for starters.
2. Your DVD isn't reflecting uniformly. Avoid using cheap DVDs.

Hope this helps.

P.S- For the sake of argument, yes, k3b might be inferior OPC
determination process than other Windows alternatives like Nero in
some ways. I wouldn't know- I just growisofs.
