How can I stop my CD drive ejecting?

  • 772

When I was using Ubuntu 10.04 I used the command eject -i 1 to prevent the CD drawer being opened when the button was pressed. Now I have upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 this command no longer works. It gives the same output as it did under 10.04:

colin@ubuntu-11-10:~$ eject -i 1
CD-Drive may NOT be ejected with device button

but the CD drawer opens anyway when you press the button.

Is there a way I can fix this command or another way to stop the drawer opening?

  1. It seems a bug. I confirm this, eject lock doesn't works yet. Add your info to this and contribute: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eject/+bug/885051
