Dear All,
I am seeing the problem with the disk tray closing immediately after eject. Apparently, this problem is related with the following bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451320
How can I now take out the dvd disk that is inside the tray? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

The physical way to do this is to insert a straightened paper clip into the small hole that can be found on the front of any DVD player. It will probably go in a fair distance when you will feel some resistance. Continue to push and it will manually release the tray. Grab the tray by the edges and pull out.

I take it that quickly grabbing the disk when the drawer opens before it closes again doesn't work? I usually use my pinkie finger for this. I guess it depends on how much "pause" time there is between opening and closing....
Ed's paper-clip idea is your next best bet. It works whether the machine is powered up or not.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks, Kevin and Ed. I have now the dvd disk outside the computer!

Turn off the CD polling for the desktop on your drive and it ought to behave.
