Hello, Leann, I was able to test Intrepid alpha-3 this afternoon (actually, I tested with Intrepid as of 08/08/2008--dist-upgrade brought me to kernel 2.6.26-5).
The original problem of the CD tray status being misreported has been corrected. However, some application-level symptoms described above remain. Some background: - 'grip' tries only ioctl(CDROMEJECT) to eject the tray - 'eject' tries ioctl(CDROMEJECT) to eject the tray and escalates to issuing SCSI commands via ioctl(SG_IO) if CDROMEJECT fails With the latest Intrepid, I found an unfortunate interaction with 'hal' versus 'grip' and 'eject' - grip can close the tray from an open state 100% reliably - if no CD has been inserted (empty tray), then grip and eject can open the tray 100% reliably using CDROMEJECT - once an audio CD has been "mounted" by 'hal', then ioctl(CDROMEJECT) begins to fail (EIO) leaving grip unable to eject the CD - while the CD remains mounted by hal, eject also cannot eject the CD either via CDROMEJECT (EIO) nor via SG_IO - after the CD has been manually unmounted (right click, then Unmount volume), CDROMEJECT still fails, but eject can now open the tray via SG_IO - CDROMEJECT can be made to work again by closing and re-opening grip. (grip holds the cd device in an open state the entire time it's running. hal's mounting of the CD apparently sets some state in the driver that's not cleared until all applications close the device.) - hal will "mount" an audio CD (scan it and place an icon on the desktop upon volume detection) even if the action for Audio CD has been set to "Do nothing" in Nautilus - if hal is shut down then grip restarted, grip will be able to open and close the tray 100% reliably, regardless of whether a CD is in the drive -- ide-scsi: cdrom tray always reported open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210819 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
