I have this problem too. It can also be a mechanical problem, which in
my case I believe it is as the above commands all do what ejecting
manually via the button does. The rubber band driving the pulley to open
the door do wear out and need to be replaced. Since the price of DVD

Apologies for the delay in replying. I have to say, all this is a
nightmare on dialup. Launchpad alone can take up to 5 minutes to load.
I managed to track down the Natty udev, but it requires the
upgrade/installation of 24 dependencies--too much of a risk of breaking

the same fault has occurred for me after ripping some dvds.
# sudo eject -i off
as first given above by Marco Scannadenari works for me. Then both
pressing the manual eject button or typing eject work. It is at least a

I just tried with LinuxMint 15 on a USB stick and the problem persists.
Has anyone found a solution that doesn't require upgrading one's entire

frenchy82, the issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop ISO of the
development release - Saucy Salamander. It would help us greatly if you
could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next
release of Ubuntu. You can find
