[Bug 75074] Re: eject cd doesn't work and "just should"

 

josh, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  eject cd doesn't work and "just should"

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I press the button on my CD/DVD drive the CD doesn't eject.  This
  is a bug.  I don't care if it's mounted.  I don't care if it's use.
  When I press that button, it should come out.  I understand that
  forcefully unmounting a file system is in general a bad idea.  Data
  can be corrupted, be lost or disappear into thin air -- but not on a
  read-only mount of a read only CD.

  I shouldn't have to hold down the button.  I shouldn't have to reboot
  my computer.  Xine shouldn't lock up because I wanted my disc and
  neither should mplayer.  They should exit gracefully and my disc
  should come out so that I can throw it on my desk full of other randon
  crap.

  I shouldn't have to fight my CD-drive.

  If I put in a scratched or otherwise damaged disc (unbeknownst to me)
  there should be some timeout period where it gives up and stops trying
  to mount it -- this makes things hang.  It's annoying.

  Give me back my disc.

  Please, thanx :-)
