Bug Description

(Kubuntu Feisty Fawn alpha 5, live cd)

When I shut down the live cd, at the end the splash is hidden and those messages are displayed:

Unmounting temporary filesystems...
umount: /cow: not found
Deactivating swap...
Unmounting local filesystems...
umount2: device or resource busy
umount: /cdrom busy - remounted read-only
umount2: device or resource busy
umount: /rofs busy - remounted read-only
mount: function not implemented

Then a message "Please remove the disk....." appears, but when I press enter, nothing happens. I also can't open the cd tray by pushing the eject button on it (as described in bug 90706 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kshutdown/+bug/90706).

I have also encountered this with Xubuntu Feisty Fawn Herd5 i386 LiveCD.

I've tested Feisty Herd 5 Desktop CD on two systems, and on both the CD fails to eject, though the splash remains on the screen. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then Ctrl+Alt+F8 yields much the same messages as above (from memory):

----

* Unmounting temporary filesystems ....
umount: /cow: not found
                 [Fail]
* Deactivating swap .... [OK]
* Unmounting local filesystems ...
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /cdrom busy - remounting read-only
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /rofs busy - remounting read-only
                 [OK]
mount: Function not implemented
* Casper is resyncing snapshots and caching reboot files:
Please remove disk and close tray ..

----

Can I suggest retitling this bug to "live CD fails to eject on shutdown (with strange messages)"?

Looks like Bug #84592 (<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/84592>) is a duplicate of this bug, and that it is fixed..

It's not fixed, or it's not the same bug. I tried Feisty Beta and got the same error.

Interesting. I guess the clue was the splash screen gave way to the error messages for you, where as for others (and me) the splash stayed on screen - even though the same messages could be found by manually changing VTs.

This same thing happened to me, and now I cannot eject the CD at all (even in windows). I've tried multiple methods of ejecting and the only explanation is that it may be in use.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
