I can only eject an audiocd as root. No problems for data cd's. Any idea what might be causing this? Ejecting with the button doesn't work either.

The output from the eject command is,
Code:
$ eject
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument

The funny thing is I get the same error as root, where it actually works.

If I right-click on the CD-ROM icon and click eject (KDE) I get,
Code:
Eject /dev/hdc failed!


I'm using stable versions of hotplug, udev, ivman, hal etc.

Common issue is there is a process using the device.

You can 'lsof /dev/cdrom' or 'lsof /mnt/cdrom' to see what is the incriminated process.

Usually, there could be a sleeping konqueror session in the way.

lsof /dev/hdc produces no output.

Well, the problem seems to have disappeared after an upgrade.
