Done. I must point out that this was a onetime event, and doesn't happen regularly. Once, before this incident, I accidentally kicked the machine into a hang - switching to VT 1 showed IIRC the same kind of errors flowing by at a huge pace.
The eject troubles I mentioned are probably related to the different kio_???? processes working / hanging in the background after Konqueror has been closed (I use _K_ubuntu Breezy, to be precise), since killing them re-enables eject without sudo. This is probably a different issue, although it might be among the possible causes that could trigger the error state. -- System logs fill with cdrom errors (1 GB per 20 minutes) https://launchpad.net/bugs/64548 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
