DVD won't Eject

**lotusalive** · January 10th, 2010

acidrip hangs on this dvd, hangs on crop detect, and on preview,

also, will not eject without restart. Will someone please tell me

what I might do to alleviate this Error Msg ?

Code:

Unable to eject CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive  DBus error 

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible 

causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the 

message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout 

expired, or the network connection was broken.

This will not solve your problem, but

Code:

eject cdrom

will keep you from having to reboot.

Thanks Happy Feet, (one of my favorite danceable, singable, conductable, films, the other being the second version of Thomas Crowne Affair

Code:

 lightening@lightening-desktop:~$ eject cdrom
Error: invalid device /media/cdrom0 (must be in /dev/)
eject: unmount of `/media/cdrom0' failed
lightening@lightening-desktop:~$

Didn't work tho'. Tried:

Code:

lightening@lightening-desktop:~$ eject cdrom /dev/
eject: too many arguments
lightening@lightening-desktop:~$ /dev/ eject cdrom
bash: /dev/: is a directory
lightening@lightening-desktop:~$

And tried:

Code:

lightening@lightening-desktop:~$ /dev/
bash: /dev/: is a directory
lightening@lightening-desktop:~$ dir /dev/
