Comment 11 for bug 395814

i too am having the same problems! most of the time the hardware eject button will work, them sometimes it wont. the only way i seem to be able to get discs out is via the eject symbol next the drive name in the computer window! this is really annoying as backup discs are no use to me stuck in the machine! i am running 9.10 32bit on acer travelmate 2303wlmi; its an old machine i know but nothing i do solves this strange isssue!
