Hello, I have a problem with my CD drive, or it's configuration, I have attempted to solve it on my own and failed... I get a dialog box periodically, (like every few minutes), which says "Can not eject Volume, you are not privileged to eject this device." At the same time, I also get hundreds of the following items in my /var/log/messages file: If I remove the data connector from the back of my CD drive all is well, and I never see the message via the dialog box, nor get the hundreds of log entries in /var/log/messages... However I also don't have a CD drive... Is this failed hardware, or a configuration issue on my part? New install of Debian/Gnome, new user to Linux as well. Any help would be appreciated...

Have you tried to eject the device? in a terminal window just type Other interesting thing is that the first message in your log refers to hda That is normally the first hard-drive. The CD-Rom is normally hdb or hdc. have you installed debian or running a live cd? If so, you may not be allowed to eject the system drive. If he has only SATA drives (sda, sdb etc...), and his CD drive is IDE, the CD drive could be hda without problems.
