[Bug 581404] Re: CD tray automatically closes after opening

Wed Jul 25 04:57:39 UTC 2012

I'm having a similar problem.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with kernel 2.6.38-14-generic-pae.
I use growisofs nightly for incremental backups, and call eject for the device upon successful completion.
For the last month or so, the eject I call from the nightly backup script (from root) seemed to have always failed to eject even though "eject" completes successfully (exit code 0). Repeated calls to eject from the script behave the same.  Yet if I do it from my ordinary user account from the shell, it always works.

But I think what is actually happening is that the cdrom is successfully
ejected, but a little more than 10 mins later, the cdrom drive reloads
all by itself.  (So when I look, hours later, the cdrom is not ejected.)
Anyway, to check this I've just done the udevadm followed by eject
/dev/sr0, at Wed Jul 25 14:44:30 EST 2012.  I'm now waiting to see if it
reloads by itself in 10 mins or so.  Here's the output for the eject
response:

# udevadm monitor -e --udev
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing

Ah ha.  Yes, at 14:54 it reloaded all by itself.  Here's the udevadm
output:

I don't suppose there's any chance that the manufacturer (HP) has
decided that cooling the PC doesn't work properly if the cdrom drive
door is open, so has some sort of in-device firmware that somehow forces
a close after 10 mins?

Title:
  CD tray automatically closes after opening

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  I am seeing the identical behaviour as reported under Bug #283316. I'm
  running 10.04 with all updates applied as of 2010-05-16. /dev/sr0
  ejects using right-click->eject on the desktop, "eject sr0" from the
  command line, and by pushing the eject button on the drive. Under all
  three methods, the drive bay opens then immediately closes. My second
  optical drive does not exhibit the same behaviour.
