Ejecting DVD

#1 Post by subslug » Thu Feb 04, 2010 3:41 pm

Sometimes I can't get the DVD to eject after a rip unless I close MakeMKV. I've never noticed this before this current build but, I dunno know if that's even relative.

If I hit the eject button on MakeMKV nothing happens, if I select eject from the desktop DVD icon and then the MakeMKV eject button it will normally eject.
When it hangs though, even the DVD drive button won't cause the disc to eject.

This is on a Ubuntu 9.10 x64 variant and it's certainly no deal breaker. I think most Linux users are always a little used to weirdness from optical drives.

I also got this problem. Is this a Ubuntu problem? I use Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit version.

The Eject DVD command does not work for me either. I also cannot manually eject the DVD until I exit MakeMKV. I'm running ubuntu 8.10, MakeMKV version 1.4.12 BETA.

I think this will kill whatever process is using the dvd drive. you'll have to find out what your drive is called in /dev though. you should be able to eject it fine afterwards
Code:
sudo fuser -k /dev/[name of your dvd drive]
