Totem won't eject DVD from the drive after click on "eject".
My totem plays DVD fine. Recently, it started to give me the problem of ejecting DVD. I could not get it to eject the DVD that is in the drive. All I could do was restart the computer and push the eject bottom at DVD drive. Thanks for your help.

Be sure your cd is not mounted by the system.
Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications-
sudo mount
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
copy and paste result here
Then try to force a terminal eject command, type:
eject
or
sudo eject
Please give us some feedback
Thank you

I try "eject" at the end of DVD playing and found the problem persisted. I still could not eject DVD after the playing. Is there any other way to resolve the problem?
"Eject" command works fine when there is no DVD in the drive.
Thanks
Please open a terminal and type:
tail -F /etc/var/
and, or
tail -F /etc/var/log/syslog
don't close your terminal, you will see system messages, then try to play with cd device
Hope this helps you to find some more error or diagnostic message from the system.
Stop tail -F .... with CTRL+C
Then you can also try to chech dmesg messages:
dmesg | less
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask GromitGuru for more information if necessary.
