return from suspend: DVD-tray’s unexpected eject [Solved]

[Member homingin]

Hi Antix designers,

using legacy hardware (diskless workstation with Gigabyte motherboard
GA-965 P-S3 Board, Intel Core 2 CPU 6300, ATI FirePro V4800 1GB and DVD-drive
I make use of ‘suspend’ when something important interrupts my office work.
Every time returning from ‘suspend’ I see the logout menu disappear – what
is normal but – quite unexpected and seemingly by no reason – the DVD-drive of my PC
moves its tray out. I could consider this a tolerable blemish but relying on
‘suspend to RAM’ heavily I fear my DVD drive’s tray moving mechanism might wear out
sooner or later.

yours sincerely

Hi homingin, have you upgraded to latest available kernel. What you describe was/is a known bug
in some kernel configurations.

Should changing kernel not fix your issue please repost, give detail info on what you have done to
try and fix the issue.

I had the same problem and this solution worked for me:

1.Make a copy of the file

60-cdrom_id.rules

$ sudo cp /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

2.Edit this copied version of the file and comment out the line containing the string,

ENV{DISK_EJECT_REQUEST}=="?*", RUN+="cdrom_id --eject-media $devnode", GOTO="cdrom_end"

Hi blur13,

surprise, surprise! your workaround works for me too, thank you very much!

inspecting the file ’60-cdrom_id.rules’ I found a slightly different line –

might depend on the kernel of 39.1 ISO (the legacy or the modern one I use on USB-stick).

thanks, yours sincerly
