[Bug 34643] Re: Live CD can be inadvertently ejected via hotkey
I just ran the daily build (see below) and the live CD can be ejected by the hardware eject button. A CD inserted in the second CD drive is mounted and it's hardware eject button disabled. So it can be done, just is not for the live CD medium. Someone, please reopen the bug. and then fix it ;) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/saucy-desktop-i386.iso md5sum : eb8ff86ce4fc10a305b918ce28e0908e .disk/info: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Beta i386 (20131005) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34643 Title: Live CD can be inadvertently ejected via hotkey To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/34643/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As of Ubuntu 12.10, the cdrom drive is no longer shown in the UI, the shortcut doesn't do anything and a manual eject from the command line fails as the drive is reported as busy. ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34643 Title: Live CD can be inadvertently ejected via hotkey To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/34643/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just tried it on 8.04. It doesn't lock or freeze. It just doesn't let you run any new programs. I am currently typing this on a computer booted from the liveCD (with the liveCD ejected).

It's also possible to eject using eject(1) from a terminal.

[Bug 34643] Re: Live CD can be inadvertently ejected via hotkey
Just thinking aloud : User pushes the eject button (hardware, hotkey, whatever), there are 3 possibilities: - medium is not used (mounted) -> eject it - vital system files are on the medium (like in live CD scenario) -> two possibilities : --- eject is silently denied --- a dialog pops up with explanation (like "CD is vital, ejecting would cause a crash"; "Dismiss" maybe another button "Eject anyway" - I know what am I doing ) - medium is mounted/in use : -> unmount and eject or maybe a dialog, if there are open files or similar -- Live CD can be inadvertently ejected via hotkey https://launchpad.net/bugs/34643 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> then we cannot do anything about pressing the reset or the power button either. the problem here is: what if the user doesn't know the liveCD shouldn't be ejected? that is what "inadvertently" means to me, not by accidentally pressing the button. > D'oh, it took about a year to get the hardware eject button work as nicely as it does now, lol is it possible to take out the specific code that accomplishes this from the liveCD-only? it would be something like check if ubuntu is *installed* on boot: 1. yes: enable ejecting - don't comment out code / enable eject script 2. no: disable ejecting - comment out code / disable eject script of course, this would go to the liveCD and not the installed ubuntus :) just brain-dumping thanks. -- Live CD can be inadvertently ejected via hotkey https://launchpad.net/bugs/34643 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 34643] Re: Live CD can be inadvertently ejected via hotkey
If we want it, we could hack a gconf key or support for a tag file into gnome-volume-manager to inhibit ejection. But frankly, I do not think we should.
