Re: [opensuse] Problems unmounting optical Disks (DVD/CD)

I solved, well almost resolved my problem, just press the eject button on the
drive. It took me the entire day to arrive at this solution.

Hello

I am having problem unmounting optical disks. I receive the following
error:

The KDE mediamanager is not running.
media:///sr0 cannot be found.

I have also tried the force option on the unmount comand and received an
error device busy. I can access media:/sr0 through Konqueror and when I
enter media:///sr0 in Konqueror it redirects me to media:/sr0. Services
Manager in kcontrol does indicate the KDED Media Manager is running. Is
there a document that explains how the whole mechanism for mounting media
under KDE? How is it setup? How can I customize it to work for me? For a
front end I am using the media applet. I do not know what other application
are involved with this function udev, ... Can someone point me to the
documentation? I have look through the KDE manuals but have not found any
information at the system level. For example how do I change media:///sr0
to media:/sr0 (I am not even sure if this is necessary)

I have been using open source os for nine years (FreeBSD for most of that
time) I have been sticking with the mount and umount at the CLI. The
automount function in my laptop just seem to work both. This current
system, running OpenSUSE 10.2, has been a nightmare one problem after
another.

Thank You
Aaron

PS I have search google for this error and did not find a solution.
