This is a "squeaky wheel gets the grease" posting, with a bit more info. I also get the "dropping to single dma" msg, with an error number (I assume) of 883.997589. Maybe that will tell you where it's being issued. I tried Draconid's trick, killed gvm, and viola! played my audio cd's. Just to see what would happen, in the middle of a cd I entered "gnome-volume-manager" in a terminal session to start gvm up again, and in about 30 seconds, the cd was ejected and the music stopped.
I just created my Ubuntu 6.10 install cd this week, so the bug is still there. I'm new to Ubuntu, and to Linux, so may be missing something somewhere. But as Draconid said, killing gvm isn't a viable solution in the long term. It was quite nice to find this thread out there that nailed my problem. Thanks for what all of you in the thread (and perhaps behind the scene) have already put into this. -- CDROM drive eject disc after randomly seconds of use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47516 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
