[Jaunty] Unable to unmount CD-drive

[Vlad]

Binary package hint: policykit

Hardware: Samsung P28, external CD/DVD drive LG GSA-E60N
Distribution: Xubuntu 9.04

The error appears then I push eject button on drive:

Failed to eject "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_HL_DT_ST_DVD_RAM_GSA_E60N_P01080121063519_0_0".
Given device "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_HL_DT_ST_DVD_RAM_GSA_E60N_P01080121063519_0_0" is not a volume or drive.

But when I unmount cd using file manager option, cd ejecting without any problem.

BTW I believe that this bug is duplicate of bug #195649

[Vlad (lortwer)]

It's not an issue for me since I've upgraded to karmic koala, everything works just fine now. I'm agree with dicka, this is should be the same bug as #195649.

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

bug 195649 is shown as fixed-released. That means there is a fix out already. If this is a duplicate, I can close it also as fixed. Thank you very much.

This bug was fixed in the package exo - 0.3.102-1ubuntu3

---------------
exo (0.3.102-1ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/05_exo-alt-eject.patch: fix failure to eject video cd/dvd &
    data cd/dvd using button (LP: #195649), taken from Xfce #2968.
