Arch Linux/Gnome Eject Permission denied

[gerard4143]

Hi,

I'm running Arch/Gnome and I have a simple question. How can a user(not root) get permission to eject a cd/dvd.
I can mount and umount the cd/dvd and usb for any user but I can't figure out how to eject working for non-root users...Any suggestions..

i just ran eject command, and my drive popped open, not sure what your issue is

these are my groups
disk wheel log audio users pulse-access pulse-rt ccooper

My problem is trying to use the pop-up menu eject...

i.e If I have the cd mounted and right click on the associated desktop icon I get a pop-up menu and one of the options is eject. This options works while logged in as root but not for non-root..

i just popped in a disc and right clicked the icon on the desktop, hit eject, and it worked

Is your user a member of the optical group?

i was wondering if that was it, but i'm not a member of that group and I can eject, so i didn't bother suggesting it

I tried the eject console utility and it worked logged in as a non-root user.

Here's the groups for the user in question

cat group | grep gerard | sort

audio::92:gerard
optical::93:hal,gerard
storage:x:95:hal,gerard
users::100:gerard

Do you have an entry in /etc/fstab for your cdrom/dvd device? If so, comment it out.

Just tried that and it behaves the same. It must be some setting in Gnome because I can access the eject form the console and it works from a non-root user..
