This is happening in 13.04 too. Part of the problem seems to be its intermittent nature. A combination of button presses and eject commands eventually opens the drive (at least in my case).
Comment #5 didn't work for me. (I got the same results listed in comment #6.) Then I tried "sudo eject -i off" again and it opened when I pressed the button. One observation: this only seems to happen when the drive is empty. If there's a disc in it, it pops open happily. -- 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: 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
