A couple of things to look at:
1. Whatever account mounted the CD should also unmount the CD. Logical right?
Not quite, because it doesn't always work.....
2. Go in as root to your device and mount points and check that you indeed
have read/write permissions set properly -- that means they should be enabled
(checked) for whoever uses the drive. As I had trouble with this, I just gave
everyone that right.
3. Go to your CD icon on the desktop, or in your directory. Right click on
the icon -- does the word "mount" or "unmount" show up in the menu? If yes,
then you should be able to click it. If not, then you have the wrong device /
mount point attached to your icon. Here I get fuzzy, because this is where I
had the most trouble and am not sure (yet) what got me out. If neither "mount"
nor "unmount" shows up on the file menu, delete the icon from the desktop. Go
to HardDrak under filesystems and see if the CD is visible there. If it is,
then play with the settings until it works. If it's not, then go to /dev/### (I
don't know the device name for your CD, and try to copy that to the desktop.
Click on that and work with the properties.
The trick is to get the "mount" and "unmount" show up when you right click the
icon.....
Hope this helps -- sorry about the fuzziness of (3), but I am somewhat
uncertain about this.
Thanks! -Andy
