Here's a workaround that has been working for me for a couple of weeks. Add the following to /etc/rc.local, replace /dev/hdc with your CD/DVD's device node. hal-disable-polling --device /dev/hdc
Caveat: You will need to manually mount your CD/DVD (for example: pmount /media/cdrom ). Once mounted, right-click -> Eject works as expected. -- Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
