[Bug 875543] Re: can't eject cd rom : Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Geoff]

This is happening in 13.04 too.

Part of the problem seems to be its intermittent nature. A combination
of button presses and eject commands eventually opens the drive (at
least in my case).

Comment #5 didn't work for me. (I got the same results listed in comment
#6.) Then I tried "sudo eject -i off" again and it opened when I pressed
the button.

One observation: this only seems to happen when the drive is empty. If
there's a disc in it, it pops open happily.
