GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 617669
regression eject hotkey fails to eject tray
Last modified: 2018-04-13 18:15:38 UTC
After upgrading from gnome 2.28 in ubuntu 9.10 to gnome 2.30 in ubuntu 10.04, some users experience a bug using the eject hotkey. Refer to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/569994 for full bug report. At least 3 separate laptops have reported problems. After pressing the Fn-F10 hotkey, the o-s-d icon displays, but the tray fails to open. The changelog shows coding changes in the eject method in gnome-settings-daemon 2.30. Perhaps this is a regression. Specifically, on 30 March 2010, this: - Replace "eject" spawn with GIO code (Bastien Nocera) (#580779) and on 17 Jan 2010, this: - Make eject behave better on OpenBSD (Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse) (#598573)
What's the output of "gvfs-mount -li" on those systems?

Hi, I also affected by this bug. I am using Ubuntu 10.04. There is no eject button on my laptop DVD drive. But, there is an eject hotkey button on my laptop keyboard. This hotkey does work in Windows 7, but not in Ubuntu Linux with GNOME. The following are the result of gvfs-mount -li Drive(0): 500 GB Hard Disk Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) ids: unix-device: '/dev/sda' themed icons: [drive-harddisk-ata] [drive-harddisk] [drive] is_media_removable=0 has_media=1 is_media_check_automatic=0 can_poll_for_media=0 can_eject=0 can_start=0 can_stop=0 start_stop_type=unknown Volume(0): SYSTEM RESERVED Type: GProxyVolume (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) ids: uuid: '54C06CFAC06CE3A8' unix-device: '/dev/sda2' label: 'SYSTEM RESERVED' themed icons: [drive-harddisk-ata] [drive-harddisk] [drive] can_mount=1 can_eject=0 should_automount=0 Drive(1): 320 GB Hard Disk Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) ids: unix-device: '/dev/sdb' themed icons: [drive-harddisk-usb] [drive-harddisk] [drive] is_media_removable=0 has_media=1 is_media_check_automatic=0 can_poll_for_media=0 can_eject=0 can_start=0 can_stop=1 start_stop_type=shutdown Volume(0): CSH Hard Disk Type: GProxyVolume (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) ids: uuid: '8092746092745C9A' unix-device: '/dev/sdb1' label: 'CSH Hard Disk' themed icons: [drive-harddisk-usb] [drive-harddisk] [drive] can_mount=1 can_eject=0 should_automount=0 Mount(0): CSH Hard Disk -> file:///media/CSH%20Hard%20Disk Type: GProxyMount (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) default_location=file:///media/CSH%20Hard%20Disk themed icons: [drive-harddisk-usb] [drive-harddisk] [drive] can_unmount=1 can_eject=0 is_shadowed=0 Drive(2): CD/DVD Drive Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) ids: unix-device: '/dev/sr0' themed icons: [drive-optical] [drive] is_media_removable=1 has_media=0 is_media_check_automatic=1 can_poll_for_media=1 can_eject=0 can_start=0 can_stop=0 start_stop_type=unknown
Your CD drive says: can_eject=0 So we can't know that you can actually eject it. I believe it's a dupe of a recently closed bug, reassigning to gvfs.
So... which bug is this a dupe of? Is it already fixed somewhere?
Note that gvfs-mount always shows can_eject=0 when there is no media in the drive. Pauls, can you eject using the hotkey if there is a CD in the drive? If so, please provide a gvfs-mount in that situation.
Same story here, ubuntu 10.10/ppc64 gvfs-mount -li shows Drive(1): CD/DVD Drive Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu) ids: unix-device: '/dev/hda' themed icons: [drive-optical] [drive] is_media_removable=1 has_media=0 is_media_check_automatic=1 can_poll_for_media=1 can_eject=0 can_start=0 can_stop=0 start_stop_type=unknown
gfvs-mount does show can_eject=1 when media is mounted, and the hotkey works but not otherwise. If this is the desired behaviour I guess at least the eject OSD icon should only be shown when media actually can be ejected.
Gdu volume monitor has been superseded by udisks2 volume monitor long time ago. I am closing this bug because many have been changed since this was reported. If this is still an issue with the recent gvfs releases, please reopen and change component to udisks2 volume monitor.
