Eject audio CD issue

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – To check out whether sound was working on the F12 beta, I tried to pull up a live radio feed, the choices were windows media or realplayer, and the default players didn't work for either option. So I put in an audio CD, and that played just fine. Then when I went to eject the CD - from the player or right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'eject' -- the tray opened and then closed again immediately, too fast for me to pull out the CD ! So then of course it pulled up the screen asking if I wanted to open the player, etc. Tried eject again, from the 'do you want to open the player' screen, and the same thing happened. It's crazy. So I selected 'unmount' from the icon and manually opened the tray to grab the CD before I restarted. Is that a bug? Anyone else tried it? (HowTos)

Please help.

I have a Sansa Fuze 4GB media player, and every time I connect it to my computer, Ubuntu creates a new icon for it which I cannot get rid of. It won't unmount or eject, and the "move to trash" option is grayed-out.

i keep getting the following error code when trying to eject my cd-rom drive, the only way i can get it to eject is by powering off.

Error ejecting: eject exited with exit code 1: eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Is it possible to have CD/DVD icon on the launcher by default (regardless of whether CD/DVD is in the tray or not)?

I have friends who would love to switch to Ubuntu, but Ubuntu does not seem to have drivers for special buttons on the laptop, like the one needed to eject the CD/DVD tray. They own one of those mini laptops which have a CD/DVD tray, but no button on the tray to eject it.

Sim Tray Stuck 20 weeks 3 days ago

Got my nexus 4 yesterday, very happy with the device except for the sim tray. Eject and insert my vodafone sim card into the phone without any problems. However i tried to eject the sim tray to put a different sim in but the sim tray just wont come out.

Any recommendation on what i should do?

Many thanks.

Physically logged into the GNOME environment on my Ubuntu 8.04 box, I put in a DVD-RW into my drive, umounted the device, used dd to make an ISO image of it, then pressed the Eject button as I usually do to eject the disc. No problem.

I have Dell studio 1555 Laptop, I installed Fedora 12, if I press brightness control key's, menu comes but brightness is not varying and dvd drive eject key is also not functioning,but sound control Keys are working.

Eject CD on shutdown 25 weeks 4 days ago

OK, so I have a simple problem: I have a live CD, and I want the CD to eject when the computer is rebooted or halted.

Executing /usr/bin/eject -m makes the CD eject just fine... trouble is, as you might expect, this then crashes the OS because it now can't read any files. So the reboot never happens, because /sbin/reboot is inaccessible.
