GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 596241
nautilus extension keeps the cd device open
Last modified: 2009-09-27 12:03:05 UTC
Due to that, the cd writer door remains closed, even after disk is unmounted. Even worse, after ejecting the disk, using 'eject', and closing the empty disk bay, the door can't still be opened. Removing brasero nautilus extension fixed that issue for me (I first noticed that nautilus keeps the cd open, the found out that this is the brasero plugin fault)
I use -git version of brasero
Thanks for the report. By chance, I found out that libbrasero-media was leaking file-descriptor of the device; to work around GIO strange behavior brasero sometimes has to call off drive probing but it did not close the fd properly. Anyway could you try branch gnome-2-28 and see if it helps please?
Fixed in gnome-2-28. Running fuser /dev/sr0 doen't anymore give a process number, door isn't anymore locked (execpt when the disk is mounted, but this is the devkit bug, I take a look soon) Works just fine!
great. Thanks
