Latest kde beta(4.1.82) Still not eject button! :(
4.1.87 no eject! kde3 eject... :(
Is the DVD eject button (drive's button) not working after browsing the DVD/CD contents with Dolphin. Can't it be ejected using the "eject icon" in the Device Notifier plasmoid in the panel?
"Is the DVD eject button (drive's button) not working after browsing the DVD/CD contents with Dolphin. " Yes "Can't it be ejected using the "eject icon" in the Device Notifier plasmoid in the panel?" Yes But working eject button like kde3 was better

Now with kde 4.2 on slackware current work!
Are you sure? I didn't write any code to support that yet. :-)
Yes work,i don't know how.. but works. I have mounted a dvd iso with dolphin,enter and navigated. Then i push eject and..voilà ,it work!
Well, not for me on openSUSE. That might be a slackware specific thing. Let's reopen. :-)
I can confirm it. Eject button in KDE 4.2 doesn't work (this is on Arch Linux with KDEmod). I have tried dbus-monitor --system and EjectPressed signal is correctly emitted, so this is clearly KDE fault (and it did work in KDE 3, so it is regression). Please fix it, this is really basic and important feature.

Kde 4.2.2 will have the eject function or only for kde 4.3?
With kde 4.2.1 and the new kdeeject module from svn works. You have to put the folder "solidautoeject" from svn on kdebase-runtime sources(4.2.1) and the CMakeLists.txt from svn (delete line number 44 if give error when ccmake) Then ccmake . on kdebase-runtime configure and enter on solidautoeject give make and make install,restart kde..and will work! Bug resolved?
Yes, that's implemented an will be shipped with KDE 4.3.

Please reopen, it doesn't work in 4.3.1
Actually, I've just checked that in 4.3.1 and it works for me. I inserted a dvd, browsed through it, pressed eject on the drive. The medium was unmounted and ejected. So it seems to work provided nothing is using the disc, e.g. a Konsole session. Are you sure you have the autoeject module enabled?
Kde 4.3.1 works fine ,if doensn't work check hal configuration files, reinstall clean if needed.
Ok, it works, but doesnt work when the drive is bussy. To reproduce: 1. Insert CD/DVD disk, 2. Click on it in Device Notifier, 3. When Dolphin starts and reads the CD and led on the drive starts to blink, pres eject, 4. Nothing happens. Eject will work, when Dolphin finishes reading the disk and led stops blinking.
I think that's the expected behaviour. I mean, ejecting a disc when it's used isn't the wisest idea. And how often do you need actually mount a disk to eject it instantly, when it's still read?
I agree, but not ejecting the CD without any notice looks broken. If not ejecting CD's that are curently used is made by design, then I suggest a notification, maybe with "force eject" buton.
Well, that much is true. In comparison, the device notifier applet displays an error message about the medium being in use. Then again, modal dialogs are said to be evil :)
