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
