Public bug reported: I'm using Hardy on a Dell XPS M1330 laptop.
I burned a DVD with K3b. After burning, K3b said it couldn't verify the ISO filesystem image size--weird. I tried to mount the disc and see if it burned correctly, but nothing happened. I tried to eject the disc from KDE, and nothing happened. I pressed the eject button on the laptop, and the music I had playing started stuttering and the screen froze for several seconds. Then the system resumed playing, but the disc didn't eject. I tried running commands like: eject sudo eject sudo eject scd0 etc. And nothing happened. dmesg shows this: [15552.538637] ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen [15552.538659] ata4.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 [15552.538661] cdb 1b 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [15552.538664] res 40/00:03:00:00:08/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [15552.538670] ata4.00: status: { DRDY } [15557.427251] ata4: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0xd0) [15562.277217] ata4: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset [15562.277227] ata4: soft resetting link [15562.758089] ata4.00: configured for PIO3 [15562.758115] ata4: EH complete [15562.780667] sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0] Device not ready: Sense Key : Not Ready [current] [15562.780683] sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0] Device not ready: Add.

However, I assure you, the disc is still in the drive. This is bad. I'm going to have to reboot just to eject the disc. Now I stopped using Windows years ago, and am a big Linux fan, and as much as I hate to say it, even Windows wouldn't have this problem. :( ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- CD/DVD does not eject on M1330, even though eject -v says command succeeded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310138 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
