Physical Eject button not working
#1
Question 
Hello, This may have been answered already but I cannot find it anywhere....

I have XBMC set up on an Asrock Ion330 Pro with Minimal Karmic. My issue is with the eject button on the DVD drive itself. If I play a DVD, then stop it and press the eject button on the drive itself, nothing happens. The eject button in the skin (Confluence) works fine.

I need the physical eject button because my wife and 5 year old primarily use the ION330 and its easier for them to press eject as opposed to navigating to the on screen button....

TIA.

Drop to the console and type
Code:
sudo sysctl dev.cdrom.lock=0

That will unlock it for the session only


If you want it permanent then type
Code:
sudo sh -c 'echo "dev.cdrom.lock=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf'

Not sure if its necessary But I rebooted after that last command
