Wine eject

Introduction

Wine eject is a command for ejecting cdrom disks.

The eject command works by typing at the command line

wine eject

A. Julliard: It works[...] for ISO images.

No doubt it works for others as well.

S. Cragin [Apr 07 wine user]: with the solution to the 2-CD install problem. To eject the first cdrom, open a NEW terminal window, type

wine eject

and the CD will eject. Then close that terminal window, and insert the second CD.

Nov 05 Some users reported having to run it twice to successfully eject their medium, but this has been given some attention.
Nov 05 A. Jullaird: You should set it to autodetect and check what GetDriveType returns then.

Debugging

wine eject has a debugging trace. eg:

WINEDEBUG=+eject wine eject

Vitamin jan 10: you shouldn't cd into DVD mount point - shell will keep it open and Wine won't be able to do anything about it.

You should start installer this way instead: Code:

cd ~

wine start /media/cdrom/setup.exe
