K3B Eject Problem

[Batty]

When I burn a disc with K3B it all works fine and ejects the disc.
But I am left with the tray stuck out.
It is dead, cannot get it to go back in using either the eject button or by pusing the tray in.
Rebooting is the only way to get the tray back in.

The drive is a sata Pioneer BD_ROM BDC-202

Using a couple of commands to find out information about my drive.
Entering "cdrecord –inq" made the tray pop back in! Least I have a work aroud to rebooting!

I use eject -t to open and close my drive. have you tried that?

Hi Oshunluver

I would just like to indicate to others that the command does indeed work if the drive is where the command assumes that the drive is; (please forgive the atrocious sentence structure), such as /dev/sr0 or such as in /media

If the drive is not "there" then one might get the reply "eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'"

I tried eject -t nothing happens. I don't even get reply suggested by woodsmoke.
blkid commmand shows /dev/sr0: LABEL="My_Photos" TYPE="iso9660"

OOPS I may have misunderstood Oshunluver. I thought eject -t would make tray go in and out!
the command "eject cdrom" makes tray pop out OK
the command "eject -t" only makes it go back in.

Atleast I'll be able to get tray back in.

eject -T should work both ways, try it.

I wrote a little desktop file that I put on my panel that allows me to open and close my drive without touching it. I'll upload it if you want it.

oshunluvr worte:

Capital T does allow it to work both ways. ( I have had a read of the eject man page now also!)

Yes please that would be most helpful.

Sorry, I forgot to do this...

Save this as eject.desktop in your /usr/share/kde4/services or /home/.local/share directory as eject.desktop
Then drag it via dolphin to your panel or folder widget.
