Hi Erik! Make sure that something does not have "hold" of your CD-ROM. For
example, I've found on my setup that if I have any terminal open, and am
currently located in the /mnt/cdrom directory it won't open. Same sometimes
with a KDE window open on my CD-ROM. When all else fails, I do open a term.,
and type in:
eject /dev/cdrom
and:
eject -t /dev/cdrom
will close the tray back.
Hope this helps!
BTW, I had more trouble with this in v7.0 than in 7.1, also its better when I
installed as developer than not...dunno why. In fact I'd say its pretty well
gone in v7.1 - developer...
See ya! ;-)
