Description jim 2005-01-18 03:41:17 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

my cd/dvd drive will not eject disks. whether i click on 'eject' on the kde screen, issue an eject command from the shell, or press the physical eject button on the drive, the disc does not eject. i can umount it, but not eject.

i've found that in order to get it to eject, i must kill the process, 'kdeinit: kio_audiocd'. the process will die on it's own given a few minutes, but either way, i can't eject a disk with this process running. this is a major problem and pain in the ass and it shouldn't be happening.

I've had this problem as well. There are also a number of other bug entries describing the same or very similar problems (95676, 93020). 

Here's what I have.
Kernel 2.6.10 using atapi - no scsi emulation
debian unstable
kde 3.3.2
fam 2.7.0-6
no dnotify
if I mount/umount cdrom from shell or with autofs or whatever it will eject fine providing I don't use konqueror to view contents. When I view using konqueror a kio_audiocd process starts that locks cdrom preventing it from ejecting. And yes, I close konqueror and umount cd before eject. If I kill kio_audiocd the cd ejects. I have found that setting Konqueror preloading to zero appears to fix the problem. Sort of, it can still take up to a minute before cd can be ejected. 
Don't know importance but here is what the kernel says when eject fails:
program eject is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO

Ha - that's my bug!  On Debian you can just remove the kdemultimedia-kio-plugins package and restart KDE.  Problem solved.

Please mark this bug as a dupe of 95676.
