[Bug 398670] Re: eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Also for what it's worth, I was experiencing "eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device", and it turned out that I had an object blocking the tray so it couldn't fully open. When I removed the object, the error went away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398670 Title: eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eject/+bug/398670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just for what it's worth, I recently had the same problem and it turned out to be a faulty SATA data cable.

[Bug 398670] Re: eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
I booted up Windows 7 on the computer and it too was unable to open the drive door or read the disk. I turned off the machine for the night and, in the morning, booted up Ubuntu. Pressing the button during the boot process, the gate opened and the tray came out. It's possible that the hardware is failing intermittently, or I perhaps the software under Ubuntu put the drive into a locked gate state which was not released by a reboot but was released by a complete power down. If the latter explanation is right, it would be wonderful if someone figured out how to fix it without powering down, for example by a change to what happens when 'sudo eject -i off' is run. However, I don't know how anyone could reproduce this problem reliably, especially on another machine. So I could not, in good conscience, ask for the issue to be re-opened. If others do report the same problem and the issue is reopened, maybe the notes I've posted here and in comment #6 will be of use. Thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398670 Title: eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eject/+bug/398670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Maybe closed too soon.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and am experiencing the problem. I was copying
a CD in the tray with Brasero. The source disc was in the tray. I went
to dinner. I came back to find the copy stalled. I could not open the
tray with the button. I tried all of the following without success:
Use the eject command in Brasero
Close and reopen Brasero
sudo eject
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sudo eject cdrom
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sudo eject /media/cdrom
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sudo eject /dev/sr0
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sudo eject -i off
CD-Drive may be ejected with device button {but it can't}
Open drive with VLC
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details.
{Haven't found the log file yet}
Tried Thunar and Nautilus
Neither shows any contents of /media/cdrom
Rebooted and retried all of the above with the same results
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
