[Bug 442282] Re: CDROM door does not open

 

I am seeing this in 13.10, on a Lenovo L430.
- There is no CD in the drive. The drive is empty.
- The physical switch on the CD-ROM drive also does nothing.
- The door works fine after reboot. It only gets locked after ejecting 1 CD.
- This happens when ejecting using Nautilus, and when ejecting using Unity dock right-click-eject.

$ sudo eject -v
