Hi
Whats the sory with trying to eject a cdrom, i press the eject button and one second later the cdrom closes again catching the bloody cd disc or my fingers, i remember this in 9.3 as well thats why i dumped it. Looks like Suse Linux 10.0 is no better unless there is some magic trick to eject a cd ?
Not sure, but it could be that you (or another user or prog) is using the drive, that's to say for example you have cd'd into /media/cdrom (or whatever name your cd has been mounted with, as the new automounting / autoumounting system appears to mount with the volume name), have a Konq session running, etc. And I think Konq can sometimes be 'using' the cdrom in a strange way whereby it 'caches' a view of the drive even if you don't have a real, user-initiated session going. Search the archives on that, I think it was dealt with here. man fuser is probably your friend. If I'm not in the directory, the instruction 'eject cdrom' works fine here.
