How to Eject Linux Mint Live CD from a MacBook Laptop

Asked by Julianloui

I started using a Linux Mint live CD recently on a MacBook Pro laptop. It's well-known that MacBook laptops are far from being user-firendly when it comes to removing a live Linux CD/DVD from them. I happen to have converted this machine to
host only Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04.

When I try to eject the Linux Mint live CD, neither the umount nor the eject command works. As I type either command, Linux Mint tells me that the disk is busy. If the machine were a non-Apple one, it would be a cinch to eject the disk with just a paper clip in any case. But Apple must have its elegant way. I am using this computer only because it was given to me free as a surplus machine by a relative. I myself would never purchase an Apple computer no matter how sophisticated it may be. Practicality and not elegance is what I care for in life.

I would appreciate leaning how to resolve this particular Linux Mint live CD ejection problem. Thanks.

Mint and Mac OS are not supported here. Mint and Mac support is entirely separate from Ubuntu's. I suggest you post on a Mac forum or here:
