Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation.
I can confirm that this bug exists on Hardy Heron, Version 8.04.01 with
libexo-0.3.4-3ubuntu4 installed.
Since this package is installed by default installation, exo-eject should be
expected to open the drawer of the cd/dvd drive when issued in terminal. This
command does work if a cd is in the drive when issued.
If the command exo-eject is given with no cd in the drive, the command fails
and gives an error "Failed to eject /dev/???" "Device /dev/??? not found in the
file system table".
If the command gnome-eject is given, the command fails and gives no error
messages. This is a new failure under 8.04.01, as stated by the original
reporter in the 2008-07-18 followup.
Expectations with both commands are:
the drive should be recognized as valid if in /dev
the drive should eject the drawer/tray whether or not a cd is in
this should continue to work between versions
This is reproducable at any time by issueing the commands in a terminal
window
Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin
work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from
here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
