You know then that the eject works because of the root acct. Then the new question is how to give yourself permmissions to use the application. That I don't know about, but I'm sure a post will give you the answer. Good Luck.
The drive button was the first thing tried, has no effect.
Also, tried apt-get install eject, (after dkpg --purge eject), no change in
behavior. It (eject) does works when invoked by root user though.
Well, I gave it a try
I also a message at the end of dmesg which is sort of strange:
mtrr: 0xf1000000,0x800000 overlaps existing 0xf1000000,0x200000
mtrr: 0xf1000000,0x800000 overlaps existing 0xf1000000,0x200000
(there 2 Xeon processors)
Any ideas about this one?
