[Bug 875543] Re: [Dell Inspiron 2500] Can't eject cd rom : Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Dhruv Upreti]

I am facing this issue in Ubuntu 15.04 ( fresh installation on AMD Qaud
Core)  as well. I have tried almost all the commands available on google
for this issue but no luck

$ eject /dev/sr0 
$ eject -rv $ sudo eject /dev/sr0
$ file /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: block special (11/0) 
$ sudo eject -i off $ eject -i off /dev/cdrom 
$ eject -v /dev/sr0 eject: device name is /dev/sr0'
eject: expanded name is/dev/sr0' 
eject: /dev/sr0' is not mounted
eject:/dev/sr0' is not a mount point 
eject: /dev/sr0' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject/dev/sr0' using CD-ROM eject command 
eject: CD-ROM eject command succeeded

Surprsingly they do not give any errors also

I have also confirmed that CD ROM is detected by ubuntu 
$ sudo lshw -C disk *-cdrom
description: 
DVD-RAM writer product: DVDRAM GH24NSC0 vendor: HL-DT-ST physical id: 0.1.0 bus info: scsi at 1:0.1.0 logical name: /dev/cdrom logical name: /dev/cdrw logical name: /dev/dvd logical name: /dev/dvdrw logical name: /dev/sr0 version: LK00 capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram configuration: ansiversion=5 status=nodisc

Does any one has anything else for trying ?
