[Bug 1168742] Re: [udev] Disks are not unmounted when physical eject button is used

2016-10-29 Thread Phil Wright
@Peter Bennett Ok, I finally managed to test this with CDs and worked out the problem. This was a fault in my shell script. The test line in the script should be 'if [ "$n" -ne '0' ];then umount /dev/sr0;fi'. Note the command should have been 'umount' not 'eject'. Complete solution taking the ab

@ Peter Bennet (comment #30) Sorry, I don't use Video CD's so I can't check what the problem is - presumably 'dvd-rw-mediainfo' doesn't recognise Video CD's and produces an error of some kind. You could try running 'dvd-rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0; echo "status = $?"' while a Video CD is in the drive

The bug is still present in a new install of Xubuntu 16.04 (and presumably all the other *buntus using systemd 229), and this workaround still works: sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools echo 'KERNEL=="sr0", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/sr0_change.sh"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/61-sr0-c

Further again to my #10 comment: My apologies, the shell script '/usr/local/bin/sr0_change.sh' above posted only works for dvd media. The following should (?) work for other media (eg. audio CDs) as well: #!/bin/sh dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 > /dev/null n=$? if [ "$n" -eq '251' ];then eject /dev/

Further to my #10 comment, I forgot to point out that the utility 'dvd +rw-mediainfo' is in the package 'dvd+rw-tools' in the Ubuntu repositories. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168742

After trawling the internet for possible solutions, I have put together a kludgey script workaround to automatically unmount a dvd when it's ejected via the dvd drive eject button. This kludge assumes the dvd drive is /dev/sr0 and the shell script uses /bin/sh; customise according to your system c

This bug is still present in Ubuntu 14.04 3.13.0-32-generic (both 32bit and 64bit). This makes Ubuntu and derivatives problematic for newbie users who expect cd/dvd ejection to just work as it does in Windows. Having to manually unmount the drive before inserting another disc is a poor solution.
