Maybe closed too soon.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and am experiencing the problem.  I was copying
a CD in the tray with Brasero.  The source disc was in the tray.  I went
to dinner.  I came back to find the copy stalled.  I could not open the
tray with the button.  I tried all of the following without success:

Use the eject command in Brasero
Close and reopen Brasero
sudo eject
  eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sudo eject cdrom
 eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sudo eject /media/cdrom
 eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sudo eject /dev/sr0
 eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sudo eject -i off
 CD-Drive may be ejected with device button {but it can't}
Open drive with VLC
 VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details. {Haven't found the log file yet}
Tried Thunar and Nautilus
 Neither shows any contents of /media/cdrom

Rebooted and retried all of the above with the same results

Any other ideas?

Thanks.
