Maybe I got an old bug that I can not eject the CD-ROM tray from my laptop
Laptop:DELL inspiron 15 3521 (from 2014), BIOS version A12
OS: Xubuntu 16.04.6 , Kernel: 4.4.0-141-generic.
I tried everything I found on internet (almost all of them are old posts +- 5,6 years-old) with no success! The only way for me is to introduce a pin on CD drive hole to pull up the tray. The CD drive works, it's recognized by the system, I can play and so on. Is there a fix to this issue ? I attached a output from (sudo eject -rv) command. Appreciate some help.
"eject -rv" output
xubuntu cd eject

Have you unmount it? Ejecting can be locked if device is busy with mount.

On my system the simpliest eject command (without arguments) ejects DVD normally.
But with your command eject -rv you have specified implicit use of -r command and -v for verbose output (see man eject for details):
There are four different methods of ejecting, depending on whether the device is a CD-ROM, SCSI device, removable floppy, or tape. By default eject tries all four methods in order until it succeeds.
...-vThis makes eject run in verbose mode; more information is displayed about what the command is doing.
...-rThis option specifies that the drive should be ejected using a CDROM eject command.
So your device may not support this command set.
On my system I see that eject -s works, it means using SCSI command set:
-sThis option specifies that the drive should be ejected using SCSI commands.
You can also try with Gnome Disks (gnome-disks): find CD/DVD drive icon here, click on stop button below partitions in the right then click Eject:
Markings:
- stop button with hint Unmount selected partition
- eject button with hint Eject this device
Info:
- the Device field indicates that it is /dev/sr0 (for my system)
- clicking Eject button really eject tray, I'm running Linux kernel 4.4.0-138-generic if it matters.
- yesterday I tried the same with internal IDE DVD-RW drive and same kernel and it worked as expected.
