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 drives has plummeted in recent years, it appears they are made more cheaply.
The door wants to open, it just can't because of the pulley band slipping due to wear and tear. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875543 Title: [Dell Inspiron 2500] Can't eject cd rom : Inappropriate ioctl for device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/875543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
