Expected behaviour would be to open the drive so that a medium can be inserted. Sometimes this also happens with a medium in the drive. In this case pressing "Eject" at the drive ejects the medium, thus the medium in the drive was not locked. dmesg does not show any errors when eject failed. michael@quad:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 michael@quad:~$ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic-pae 3.2.14 michael@quad:~$ uname -a Linux quad 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 22:19:09 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic-pae 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Apr 22 14:51:13 2012 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: eject UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-04-18 (3 days ago) --- ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: linux PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic-pae 3.2.14 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic-pae i686 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-04-18 (6 days ago) UserGroups: Debian-exim adm admin audio cdrom dialout dip floppy fuse lpadmin mythtv plugdev sambashare video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/986845/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
