[ubuntu] ubuntu only starting while a cd is in the tray

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – For some reason Ubuntu (12.04) only starts if a CD is in the CD tray. After selecting the OS if no CD is in the tray then the computer stays with a blank purple screen, but when there is the disc is read and ubuntu boots. It seems to work regardless of disc. I do not believe this affects any actual performance of the computer, but I just have to always have a CD in the tray whenever I turn my computer on. I have also reformatted and reinstalled Ubuntu and this still occurs. Any suggestions on how to stop this? (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] ubuntu only starting while a cd is in the tray

The reason I say rarely does is that after a few times of opening and closing the tray and various combinations of having it open or closed on bootup /log in, it read the disc once.

The usual scenario is that I close the tray, hear two noises as it sounds like the tray is about to spool up, but then nothing happens.

Any ideas?

I've googled this a few times and nothing has helped.

I wrote an article about installing Radio Tray in Ubuntu Lucid and Maverick. It now turns out that you don’t need to download Radio Tray in order to install in Maverick.

So as more of you know, ubuntu has dropped the whole thing about tray and bringed something new called indicators..

Please help.

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.

Printing defaults to manual feed 35 weeks 20 hours ago

I am using 64-bit Fedora 17 and I have a networked HP Color LaserJet 4650dn.

On this printer, Tray 1 is manual feed and Tray 2 is the "real" paper tray.

I do not know for sure when Fedora started sending everything to tray 1 rather than tray 2 (I guess I don't print much), but...

First, i look at my printer configuration by running "system-config-printer".

Hi,

I've set up my Ubuntu 10.04 PC to share my local USB printer (HP Photosmart C5280) for printing from the iPad using AirPrint, following the steps described here.

Hello, does anyone know how to get the Rhythmboy tray-icon plugin to work?

I followed these instructions to add plugins: http://askubuntu.com/questions/14794...thmbox-plugins

But there is no tray-icon showing up. Plugin is activated, I checked alreaday. Notice: I am not talking about the notification icon in the volume menu.
