    I did exactly this

    And, then typed "eject /media/cdrom" into the console and it ejected my cdrom promptly. So no one fret, it will eject your cdrom ASA you press enter.(give or take a second or two.)
    You will be prompted for your password but it works on DAPPER AMD64

    Now I'd like to ask how it works. The shell script that locked my cdrom drive is the well known DOOM3 intall script. It had just created my directories and copied my .pk4 files from my cd1 it asked for my cd2 and told me to eject. I pressed the eject button on my drive and it did not respond. Once I used your suggestion it worked, but it also ended my DOOM3 Install script leaving me to discover a better solution..?

    Thanks

    Alt+F2 works fine! It doesn't lock the CD to the bash as it did before. I'm installing from the CD2 now and hoping it will go successfully end with all those 4 CDs.

    (OK, installation indicator disappeared but installation still continues and asked for the last CD... Back to first CD, installation is finalizing... Complete!!!)

    Have you tried just doing

    Code:
    wine eject d:
    This tells wine to release it's hold on the device, and eject it.

    I had the same problem when installing The Orange Box so I just copied the DVDs to the hard drive and it worked like a charm.
