Hello, Everyone
I have had a situation for quite a while now that is somewhat like this,
but with one interesting wrinkle: sometimes (not always) the eject
button on the DVD drive itself does not work. I have to run "eject"
from a terminal to get the drive to open... SOMETIMES I have to run
"eject cdrom", "eject sr0" or "eject scd0" just to get the drawer open.
Sometimes, the "eject" command just exits immediately without any
error. The thing that I do to get the "eject" command to finally open
the DVD drive drawer is to physically push the eject button on the drive
itself and THEN re-run the "eject" command.
Also, I do NOT have "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules"
I am running Fedora 17 (fresh install, not an upgrade) fully updated,
with KDE as my desktop.
