It now seems that the only way to eject is by rightclicking the (mounted)device icon and selecting "Eject Volume". Benedikt's reply: HAL emits a signal when the Eject button is pressed, but I didn't care to check so far, and so Thunar never used that. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 941 Possible patch Ok, try this patch please (requires latest exo).
(copied from ML) I've tested the patch and it works fine on one of my 2 cd/dvd drives. I then checked the 'dbus-monitor --system' output and only one of the devices gave me the 'EjectPressed' signal, so it's probably unsupported in Linux. Kinda weird though... I have a really mainstream HP desktop with an even more mainstream HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8163B dvd-rom player...
