Indeed, that is true. But somewhere during my troubleshooting, manually ejecting the cd started to work. Then I posted the above to debian-user. Since then I powered down/up my machine, now I'm back to the original problem.I thought you had been saying something about having to log out/in to eject (in linux.debian)
For reference in this group, the output Jerry posted in linux.debian:Sorry about that, I'll stick to this group from now on.
The drive is one, maybe two years old at the most. And, yes it ejects just fine in Windows.[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ eject -v /cdrom eject: device name is `/cdrom' eject: expanded name is `/cdrom' eject: `/cdrom' is not mounted eject: `/dev/hdc' can be mounted at `/cdrom' eject: `/dev/hdc' is a multipartition device eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using CD-ROM eject command eject: CD-ROM eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using SCSI commands eject: SCSI eject failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using floppy eject command eject: floppy eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using tape offline command eject: tape offline command failed eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument
Seems to me like the cdrom does not support software ejecting. How old is the drive? Does/did it eject in Window$?
