Public bug reported:
Normally, I can eject my DVDs simply using "eject" from the command line
or using the context menu in dolphin (right-click on the DVD -> eject).
However, today I came across a broken DVD. "broken" in this case means:
Probably something went wrong while burning the CD; whatsoever the exact
reasonmight be, the result is that the DVD can not be mounted.
If I now try to eject the DVD using "sudo eject -v", I receive the
following output:
"eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/sr1'
eject: `/dev/sr1' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/sr1' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/sr1' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr1' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr1' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr1' using floppy eject command
eject: floppy eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr1' using tape offline command
eject: tape offline command failed
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
A normal "eject -v" with an unbroken DVD inserted looks like this:
"eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/sr1'
eject: `/dev/sr1' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/sr1' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/sr1' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr1' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr1' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject succeeded"
I can't find any possibility to eject the broken DVD. In dolphin it
doesn't even show up, and the eject button on the drive itself is also
not working. I need to restart my PC and eject the DVD while booting!
In KInfocenter, the device is displayed with the following information:
"Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVD-ROM GDR8164B Rev: 0L06"
Is there any further information I can provide on the problem?
