Hi, I just played around with it a bit and found temporary workaround:
I installed setcd and with this tool one can set the auto open/close flag (no idea why such a thing even exists) Appearantly Karmic sets the Auto close tray flag (for me after each reboot) $ setcd -is /dev/cdrom: Auto close tray: set Auto open tray: cleared Use O_NONBLOCK flag: set Lock tray: set Check CD type: cleared Drive is not ready If I execute the following to clear the flags: $ setcd -e 0 /dev/cdrom: Auto close tray: cleared Auto open tray: cleared The problem is solved until the next reboot. So one needs to check where and why this flag is set - if this is the general problem and not only valid for me of course. /schaze -- CD-ROM tray closes automatically after eject https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
