Does
'eject' work from the command line at all on your system?
Yes and no.
The eject command works great to open and close the drive
tray --- until I insert a disk. When I insert a disk and the
drive tray closes, the eject command stops working. When I
use the drive button to eject the disk, the eject command
thereafter starts working again.
Hence my previous comment that there might be some kind of
soft lock occuring.
I don't know why this does not happen on your system. Do you
build with both WITH_HAL=ON and WITH_TDEHW=ON? If yes,
possibly HAL is grabbing the Eject and Safely Remove
commands rather than TDEHW?
I see that the Safely Remove option is a service type:
Exec=kio_media_mounthelper -s %u
and the Eject command is a service type too:
Exec=kio_media_mounthelper -e %u
Looks like kio_media_mounthelper is a good place to
troubleshoot? Perhaps that command builds differently under
WITH_HAL and WITH_TDEHW?
