I had the same problem and I was able to resolve it: club77@raindance:/dev$ sudo eject /dev/cdrom1 eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device club77@raindance:/dev$ file /dev/cdrom1 /dev/cdrom1: symbolic link to `sr0' club77@raindance:/dev$ sudo eject -i off eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom' club77@raindance:/dev$ sudo eject -i off /dev/sr0 CD-Drive may be ejected with device button
For some reason the drive had been locked, but I wasn't able to pinpoint the cause. We have only used the drive to listen to audio CDs with Rythmbox after upgrading to precise. Hope this helps, regards. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980472 Title: "Inappropriate ioctl for device" when ejecting USB flash drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eject/+bug/980472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
