This is the script: #! /bin/bash killall kio_audiocd eject /dev/hdc I didn't write it but found on the web while looking for solution for the problem of not being able to eject cd from the drive. This script supposedly corrects a serious bug in kde that prevents ejecting cds. I also installed the 'eject' package that Roberto suggested. I have the same problem with that one as well. It works only if I login as root and navigate to its folder; but it doesn't work as a link. This is the output of the ls -la /usr/bin/xcd.sh command: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47 2005-06-26 15:58 /usr/bin/xcd.sh I tried the sh /usr/bin/xcd.sh link in the link dialog but didn't work.
