Description of problem: A mounted CD (mounted by KDE/hald), can't be ejected by using the button on the drive, or via the menu. It works if selecting unmount in the menu first, then eject. This used to work in previous versions. This works in Gnome, but not in KDE. After chosing eject in the menu, the menu items for eject and unmount disappears, so you have to make sure to chose unmount first, if you do not want to become root and unmount manually. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.5.4 (the version that comes with FC6) How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert CD/DVD. 2. Open the disc via the icon that appears after the CD/DVD is inserted. 3. Press eject on the drive. Nothing happens. 4. Chose eject in the menu. Nothing happens. Actual results: The CD/DVD drive does not eject. Expected results: The CD/DVD drive ejects the disc. Additional info: I've tried this both with my normal user, and with a new user with no kde settings at all.
I just found another bug that seems to be the same thing. [212467]: eject fails with media that have spaces in the label I've now tried with CDs without spaces in the name, and indeed, they work as they should. So, is it something with KDE or eject? Why did it work in Gnome?
A little log of me trying to eject the CD: c-957a71d5:~>eject umount: /media/K3b\040data\040project: not found eject: unmount of `/media/K3b\040data\040project' failed c-957a71d5:~>eject /dev/hdd umount: /media/K3b\040data\040project: not found eject: unmount of `/media/K3b\040data\040project' failed c-957a71d5:~>sudo eject /dev/hdd Password: umount: /media/K3b\040data\040project: not found eject: unmount of `/media/K3b\040data\040project' failed c-957a71d5:~>umount /dev/hdd umount: /dev/hdd is not in the fstab (and you are not root) c-957a71d5:~>sudo umount /dev/hdd c-957a71d5:~>eject /dev/hdd c-957a71d5:~> And it finally ejected the CD.
