Games on multi CD install

[hhawaner]

I am trying to install Call of Duty within Wine. The first disc installs ok but when asked for the second disc I cant eject the first. How do you unmount a cd when linux is telling you it cant unmount because it is being used. Is there an easy way of installing multi CD games??? Many thanks in advance.

LoL It was most annoying problem for me when, I was new to Wine.
just eject
On Command line.

# eject

EDIT:
If you don't have default drive set for eject

# eject /dev/cdrom

Just tried that & this is what I get

scott@scott-desktop:/$ eject /dev/cdrom
umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use
the device is found by lsof( 8 ) or fuser(1))
eject: unmount of `/media/cdrom0' failed

When you launch the setup program make sure you don't do it from the same directory. For example, if you mount the cdrom into /mnt/cdrom, you usually would do this:

cd /mnt/cdrom
wine setup.exe

But instead you should do:

wine /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe

From any other directory.

The problem is that if you are into /mnt/cdrom then your shell has that directory open. And being the directory just a particular type of file, you can't umount a media while you have a file within it open. Directories are no exception.

Hi there, Thanks for the replies. I have tried to run the setup.exe from home directory but still get the same error when trying to eject the first cdrom any other suggestions please.

Did you cd to that directory in some other terminal/shell? Maybe a graphical file explorer? If there's anything using the directory at all you can't umount it. You can use lsof to check what's using a given dir:

lsof /mnt/cdrom

[hhawaner]

This is the output from lsof command
scott@scott-desktop:~$ lsof /mnt/cdrom
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
wineserve 7258 scott 26r REG 11,0 10149886 3476 /mnt/cdrom/Setup.exe
scott@scott-desktop:~$

So it seems it's wine after all.

It's strange because that used to happen some time ago but I haven't noticed that behavior for a long time. What version of wine are you using?

A workaround I used sometimes when this used to happen was to copy the contents of all the cdroms into a single folder in your HD, then you can run the setup from there and just click next when it asks for another disk.

I was thinking along those lines myself. I currently using Wine Ver 1.0.1
Many thanks for your help

That's ancient enough.

You should be using 1.1.19 which is the lastest, or a least some 1.1.1x version.
