1. Letting the little popup thingy in the taskbar show which drives had cd's in them, and trying to get the cd to eject from there. No joy.
The way to eject the CD from there is the up-arrow icon. It is very unintuitive, please comment here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216628 You can see that I filed that issue two months ago and it was deemed invalid. Please comment on that bug in respectful but harsh words. This is a major usability issue and I have several users who have complained about it.
2. Going to the My Computer plasmacon on the desktop and opening it, clicking on the icon next to the drive with the cd in it to see if it would eject. No joy, so I tried to right click on the drive in the list in the My computer window. Also no joy.
I am unfamiliar with this plasmoid. Are you sure that you have the right name?
3. Opening Dolphin and going to the media file, finding my cd and trying to right click to get a dropdown list with an eject command. No joy.
I see, you cannot even go one level about the disk, so there is no folder icon to click on. If you have the Places panel enabled, then there exists an entry for "Audio CD". Right-clicking it will let you eject the media.
4. Pressing the eject button on the drive. No joy, no messages telling me what I am doing wrong.
Hardware issue? The drive should request an eject from the OS, and rarely is it not given. I had an LG drive once that would refuse to make the request if the disk was spinning. Mark, would you mind if I copy part of your email to the KDE usability list?
