OpenSUSE Hardware :: CD Can't Eject Using Eject Button
Mar 6, 2010Right clicking on the desktop CD icon eventually ejects it. But it still can't be ejected using the button.

View 6 RepliesI did a fresh install of 11.2 (giving OpenSUSE a try after being on Ubuntu for years). I then enabled the community and packman repos. Now, I have noticed that the eject button that normally appears on the Device Notifier plasmoid is gone. I can still click on where that button should be and the device (CD in this case) will still eject. It's just that the button is "invisible."

Now I am probably being obtuse, but If I click on the wonderfully named "My Computer" I get, among other things, a display of Disk Information; hard drive partitions and any DVDs or CDs. If I let my mouse cursor alight on any of these, I get a message "Press the right mouse button for more options (such as Mount or Eject)" But if I press the right mouse button, I don't get those options; I get a message "Open in new window, Open in new tab, Open with ..., Create file project with K3b, and Compress ...".

One or more files on this disk are open within an application."And of course i can't eject it. To eject the cd i must reboot my PC.I have tested to insert a cd without open something from it with no results.Always shows the same message.I also want to notice that except dolphin i use nautilus which is necessary for Dropbox.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe only way I can eject a cd from either of my drivers is to restart my pc. The buttons don't work and neither does the eject control withing the device widget in my panel. It says the device is in use even though I am done with it. This is stupid. Everything else in this operating system is beautiful and works great (except the version of Audacity had to be replaced with one that is actually usable.) Other than that everything is great , way better than windows - but I can't do something as SIMPLE as eject a cd??? How stupid is that?? I am actually angry - being angry at a computer is something that happens when using windows computers - should not happen whilst using OpenSuse.

Initially, openSUSE recognizes that the DVD is, in fact, there. I go to any one media player, play the DVD, and exit when I'm done.
And then the DVD is gone. As far as openSUSE is concerned, anyway. I cannot eject the tray to remove the DVD, which prompts a total reboot.
Is there any way to dispose of this problem?
I have started to use K3b for ripping my CDs to flac files in order to put them on a NAS but have a few niggles with how it works.
I used to use Grip and in many ways preferred the interface and flexibility but had to change because I didn't know how to increase the number of attempts made by cdparanoia to rip difficult tracks and Grip fell down on one particular brand new CD opera set.
After posting queries here Asunder was suggested, among others and although (I understand,) Asunder also rips using cdparanoia, it succeeded on a CD where Grip failed. It also had a reasonable interface and it was easy to adjust tagging before ripping. Unfortunately Asunder has recently failed on another CD so I decided to try K3b.
K3b allows me to adjust the number of retries and this has been sufficient to enable me to overcome the most recalcitrant CDs. Great, but in many other respects K3b is a pain to use. I cannot find how to get it to eject the CD once ripping has been completed. Even after the CD has been ejected the track tags remain in the display until a new CD is loaded and the tagging interface is limited.
Apart from KsCD and CD Player, (both of which are pretty good, but very basic), I have found it impossible to eject any music CD or DVD on any of the following:
Amarok
JuK
Media Kaffeine
MPlayer and
SMPlayer,
there does not seem to be any button, command or whatever to get the CD or DVD out of the drive, so now find that only way, is to stop player and then to open CD Player and use the eject button there.
I have a relatively stock OpenSuse 11.3 install with only the Packman and VLC additional repositories enabled. When I insert a DVD into the DVD drive, it shows up as TWO identical entries in the notifier applet and in Dolphin. I am unable to eject the DVD; as soon as it opens it immediately closes. Once the drive closes again,KNotify crashes with the following stack trace:Application: KNotify (knotify4), signal: Segmentation fault [Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7f05cb8e1760 (LWP 4197))]

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using a Three network broadband dongle for my net access at the moment. That's a ZTE MF-112.
It is obviously engineered for Windows and the procedure it goes through on a Windows box is to show up as a CD drive initially which then autoruns and checks for the presence of the drivers and installer software. Only after it has detected all that does it 'eject' the CD and bring the actual 3G device online.
This leads to a slight amount of... irritation. I tend to have a terminal window open anyway so typing /dev/cdrom1 eject whenever I put the dongle in is no particular hardship, bu there must be some way to automate this.
The device turns up on /dev/cdrom1 and the 'disc' has the label '3 Connect'.
how to auto eject this thing whenever it shows up?
I've been through Google looking for a method of ejecting an unrecognizable CD/DVD from a rewriter when the device's light is flashing. This happens more often than I like and it's annoying since the only reliable method I've found is to reboot.
If I insert a bad CD/DVD into the drive, the rewriter may or may not ever stop trying to read it. KDE gives me these bad CD/DVDs because it has the nasty habit of logging me off when it gets too busy doing who knows what (OK, so maybe I shouldn't be running KDE until v4.6, but that's another issue) leaving a partially burned disk in the drive and the light continuing to flash.
The problem is, the device thinks it's busy even though it's not really doing anything. I've tried umpteen variations on eject without success, turning off the lock in /proc, etc..
The old paperclip in the hole trick doesn't always work either. The disk tray may come out, but the device light still flashes. The device can't be used again until a reboot.
I'm trying to create a boot cd that will auto repair a corrupt lilo mbr. I've got a mini linux shell booting off a cd no problem The cd then runs a shell script that is in the root of the cd The shell script does the following:
mounts some partitions
copys the lilo.conf file to /etc
run lilo command
[code]....
My problem is that the eject command always returns the following error
eject: tried to use '/media/cdrom/ as device name but it is no block device
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
eject: umount of 'mnt/cdrom' failed
I think that its not working because the shell script is actually on the cd, i've tried copying a 2nd shell script to / and running that, but I get the same error. I've also tried moving the current dir to / and running the eject command but that did not work either.
Heres my shell scripts
setterm -background blue
clear

I'm installing a program in WINE that requires more than 1 CD. I used wine eject to unmount the first one, and now ubuntu wont read the second one. No errors or anything, the drive just spins for a bit, then stops, and then the icon for the second cd doesn't appear, and I still have this wonderful message "Please insert disk number 2".

View 4 Replies View Relatedi recently got a hold of a macbook 3.1, installed ubuntu 10.04 on it(Single boot). When i got the macbook the OSX that was installed on it had some serious issues, so without the OSX restore disk i had nothing so i hopped on my friends macbook pro and dled Ubuntu burnt it to a disk and installed it flawlessly on my macbook 3.1. During that installation i did remove the old OSX partitions completely and created a new one for ubuntu(the whole HD). later i was able to find a OSX Leopard backup on the interweb so on my pc i downloaded tit and burnt it to a dvd. When i try to boot from startup i just get a blinking cursor it stayed like that all while i took a 2 hour nap. Note that from within ubuntu i could see all the files on the disk so thats issue number one
Number 2 is that im trying to burn a dvd from a iso in ubuntu and when ever i insert a blank disk it says its unreadable and when i try to eject it it gets stuck. i have to hold the mouse button while it reboots in order to get it out. Whats causing this? how do i fix these issues. Eventually i want to startover and put mac osx on there (for steam) and ubuntu for primary use.
I am using Brasero 2.30.2 on Ubuntu 10.04. The problem is that whenever I use Brasero to burn any CD/DVD, it burns it but refuses to eject, although I always select the option to eject disk after burning. Instead, it displays a message saying something like "Please eject the disk manually to finish the burning process".

If I select unmount instead, the ipod does not charge. I am now trying out kde 4.6 with Kubuntu, but cannot see a way to eject. There is an option to safely remove the ipod, but this does not correspond to the eject option in Ubuntu as the ipod does not subsequently charge.

On my a few years old 64-bit Debian oldstable/Wheezie machine, I noticed my SATA DVD writer drive likes to close right away after I tell KDE v4.8.4's Dolphin to eject it. If I use terminal's eject command, then it will stay ejected until I manually close the drive. Why is that happening?

/etc/rc0.d/S89casper is a link though, so I just edited the file it points to (/etc/init.d/casper) -- seems to be working. I merge a modified "casper" at every boot, next time I build a Remastersys, I'll try to make it permanent.
I started by running ubuntu 10.10 live CD and I did an install on my iMac. I went the route of just deleting all the data off of the iMac (I have a time capsule backup) and ran the install. Well when i booted the computer back up then Ubuntu did not come up as expected.After a few trial and errors I decided to just reinstall the Mac OS. I put the wrong disc in (it was an upgrade disk and not the disk that came with the iMac) so I wanted to eject it. That was a no go. Keep in mind i was using LOGITECH KEYBOARD and not the wireless keyboard that came with it. So when my computer boots up now all I get is the grey screen. After a while it tried to boot up Ubuntu. The screen has a flashing cursor, and then it disappears and the screen stays black.
I can get the computer to the point where if I hold the option key (alt on my logitech keyboard) then the option to boot to windows or the CD comes up. I can't boot to either.I've tried the command (windows key on the logitech keyboard) ctrl+o+f start up keys to try and get the command prompt up and that didn't work eitherI've tried a few other things and they didn't work. I'm not even sure my wireless keyboard works on bootup. I've tried to hold down the option key for the dual boot selection screen and it doesn't pop up, but it pops up when I use the logitech keyboard.Oh someone PLEASE help me. I have an Intel core iMac which was bough with the last year I believe. I would like to get the disc out or at least get Ubuntu up and I can eject the disk from the Ubuntu OS.
I would like to install ubuntu on my imac g4 but osx won't boot so I wanted to
