Just found out a very interesting bit of info. Look at my 'gfvs-mount -li' output AFTER I inserted a medium in my Pioneer:
Drive(5): Unità CD/DVD Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) ids: unix-device: '/dev/sr0' themed icons: [drive-optical] [drive] is_media_removable=1 has_media=1 is_media_check_automatic=1 can_poll_for_media=1 can_eject=1 can_start=0 can_stop=0 start_stop_type=unknown Volume(0): Ubuntu 8.10 i386 Type: GProxyVolume (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) ids: unix-device: '/dev/sr0' label: 'Ubuntu 8.10 i386' themed icons: [media-optical-cd-rom] [media-optical-cd] [media-optical] [media] can_mount=1 can_eject=1 should_automount=1 Mount(0): Ubuntu 8.10 i386 -> file:///media/Ubuntu%208.10%20i386 Type: GProxyMount (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) default_location=file:///media/Ubuntu%208.10%20i386 themed icons: [media-optical-cd-rom] [media-optical-cd] [media-optical] [media] x_content_types: x-content/win32-software can_unmount=1 can_eject=1 is_shadowed=0 It's as if gvfs decided that the device could be ejected because it did have a medium in it. :) The same can be said about the Sandisk card reader: its state switched from 'can_eject=0' to 'can_eject=1' after a medium (8 GB SD card) was inserted. Looks like the 'eject' key is behaving as an 'unmount' key. -- eject hotkey fails to eject cd on gnome lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569994 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
