Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Alpha-4 8.10 CD trapped in computer - Live session user
System > Shut Down > left-click [Restart] > Results: window with [Restart] & [Shut Down] buttons disappears, no Restart System > Shut Down > left-click [Shut Down] > Results: window with [Restart] & [Shut Down] buttons disappears, no Shut Down Push CD-ROM front panel eject button > Results: Error window: 'Unable to eject CD-RW Drive' (first-pass), similar message if push eject button again Workaround1: Poweroff computer for 10 seconds, Poweron computer, keep pressing CD-ROM eject button during startup until CD-ROM tray opens and stays open long enough to remove the CD. Workaround2: First-time Ubuntu Live session user should not be expected to know the following: Terminal > sudo reboot > You have a half-second window to grab CD before CD-ROM tray slams shut or if I recall correctly may be able to press eject button to get the tray to open during reboot. If Terminal > sudo poweroff > You have a half- second window to grab the CD before the CD-ROM tray slams shut. (Users need to be warned straight away if either workaround negates the following Ubuntu LiveCD start up statement: "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer." I haven't looked for any changes yet.) -- eject cd doesn't work and "just should" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75074 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
