Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-03-22 17:23:00 UTC 
The bug has been described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/203574

"Binary package hint: nautilus

Steps to reproduce:
1. Tell Nautilus to go to the computer.
2. Tell Nautilus to eject the CD-ROM drive.

Expected behaviour:
Eject the CD-ROM drive tray.

Actual behaviour:
Nautilus cannot mount the volume because the drive is empty; it displays a corresponding message box and does nothing."

Confirming. This seems to be a gnome-mount issue. We invoke it from gvfs [hal/ghaldrive.c:g_hal_drive_eject_do] like:

gnome-mount -e -b -d /dev/cdromdevice

gnome-mount however attempts to mount the device instead of ejecting it, at least with gnome-mount 0.6.

Patch doesn't seem to work here, with 0.9. After applying the patch, I get
a

"Method \"Eject\" with signature \"as\" on interface \"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume\" doesn't exist\n"

error when trying to eject an empty cdrom drive.

"gnome-mount" will not see active development anymore according to its developers (as HAL is also dead).
Closing this report as WONTFIX - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in
the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
