OK, I swapped in an old CD-ROM drive, tested it a bit, and very easily reproduced this by installing 20111007 again. Upon completing the installation and selecting reboot now the CD ejected and immediately retracted :^(
The most worrisome part is that even following my procedure - letting the drive do it's thing, clicking on enter, waiting for reboot, unhiding the boot menu, selecting boot from first hard disc, etc. - once removing the disc by clicking on eject, the drive acts "funny" for quite a while. But after a few reboots, trying a known good Natty disc, etc. the drive seems to be working properly again. So now I'm going to try 20111007.1 and see if it's still reproducible. If so I'll file a new bug report against ubiquity so apport can collect some info. Don't know what else to do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283316 Title: CD-ROM tray closes automatically after eject To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/283316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
