having exactly the same problem here - requires fast fingers! either using
the physical button on the drive or "ejecting" on the icon has the same
effect - disk comes out and shoots straight back in again - comedy dvd

I have to say 8.10 has offered the best experience I've had with this issue

The other day I installed a piece of very effective software using
synaptic. But, stupid me, I forgot to note down what I had done. Is
there any way I can check to find the name of the installation, please?
