Open the tray of the dvd-rom [Solved]

in windows you can access the dvd-rom as there is no dvd or cd is inserted and open the tray from whitin windows
in Zorin i can't find the device to open the tray if no dvd or cd is in the drive

only when a cd or dvd is inserted in de drive the drive becomes visible

is there any way to open the tray from within Zorin if there is no dvd or cd in the drive?

Hi Hensyr,

Not sure you can - all I could find near to it was this article which uses the Terminal:

Hi Swarfendor437,

You made my day,
In the link you provide is a simple command.

Code:

eject

nothing more than that and it just work like a charm.

Thanks a lot mate.

Glad to be of help friend!

Guess you could make a script and create an icon on your desktop?

Hi Swarfendor437,

After a long search on the Internet I finally found a script that can open the CD-ROM tray and close it again.
I also found an appropriate icon.
This is the script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/eject -T &

and this is the icon:


It works like clockwork

Nice!
