[Bug 412527] Re: Cannot mount media in DVD rom drive, Acer Timeline 4810T. Drive is detected, and media only detected if placed in the drive when machine suspended. Even then DVD movies (purchased) are not recognised - error message that media is

>From what I read in the dmesg logs it seems like pressing the physical
button causes the system to disconnect the module/hardware and from then on
it seems to get ignored (even after returning the disc tray).

Just to be sure, does the workaround of executing 'eject' in a terminal
still works fine on Karmic?

Cannot mount media in DVD rom drive, Acer Timeline 4810T. Drive is detected, and media only detected if placed in the drive when machine suspended. Even then DVD movies (purchased) are not recognised - error message that media is unknown. Audio cd's sometimes play. When trying to unmount, I am asked for my password - message given that another user mounted the media.
