 |
|
Hello there,
I like warbiking with my trusty gentoo laptop with kismet and gpsdrive.
Problem is that when i put my laptop in my backpack the cddrive is at the bottom and opens sometimes. I want to lock it without mounting a cd, is this possible?

Not very constructive perhaps, but I feel the need to post it:
Doesn't it go without saying that warbiking and duct tape go hand in hand? Just tape that sucker up real good and you won't have any problems.

Did I mention that I don't want to demolish my laptop?

| Apparently it is possible. I haven't seen a program to do it though so you might have to write your own. |

Hi there, based on the info in the link PowerFactor gave I wrote the following code:
| Code: |
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/cdrom.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
if(argc != 2)
{
printf("error: must supply one argument which is the device\n");
return -1;
}
int cdrom = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK);
if(cdrom == -1)
{
printf("failed to open %s\n", argv[1]);
return -1;
}
if(ioctl(cdrom, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 1) == -1)
{
printf("Something went wrong\n");
return -1;
}
printf("Drive locked, happy hunting\n");
return 0;
}
|
compile it with g++ like this:
| Code: |
g++ lock.cpp -o lock
|
and run it like this:
| Code: |
./lock /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
|
You may have to check your fstab for the proper cdrom device.
I'm proud to report my cdrom is locked without a cd in it. But I can't unlock it...
Wait, running eject as root seems to do the trick. |

For unlocking it | Code: | | ioctl(cdrom, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0) |
works for me. |

Here is a version in c that includes both locking and unlocking
compile with
| Code: | | gcc ulcdrom.c -o ulcdrom |
Run with -l to lock or -u to unlock. One caveat, for some reason you have to be superuser to unlock the drive but not to lock it. You could chmod it suid or su -c it as a quickfix (any input on how to resolve this would be appreciated). Here is the code, make sure to change CDROM_DEV to point to your CDROM device (not a symlink).
EDIT: I fixed some UID issues in the code (I should really read my own posts  )

Hmm, that's odd. I can both lock and unlock mine as non root. I am running a 2.6 kernel though. Are you both running 2.4? |

I'm using mm sources 2.6.7_rc1 w/ udev and a dvdrom/cdrw. It just may be that my permissions are set funky for my cdrom. I didn't really try to figure out the cause. Maybe setting the effective gid (setegid) to cdrw will work, hmmm. I'll try in the morning.
Meethune
EDIT: I figured out the permission issue. In udev, /dev/cdrom/* are symlinks to /dev/hd? (whatever your cdrom device is). Changing CDROM_DEV to point to the actual device (that has user permissions of course) will resolve any uid/gid issues. You can then also remove all uid checking. I'll edit my code above to reflect the changes. |

This nice program almost does exactly what I want. It does lock the eject button when there is no CD but I need it to lock the eject button with a CD in the tray. Any ideas how to add that functionality? I should add, I still want eject to work from the popup menu but not the hardware button.
Thank you,
SonWon |

Simply mount the cd.

Thank you for the reply.
I have been trying to get the following behaviour from the CDROM drive.
Insert CD auto mount and lock the hardware eject button.
Right clicking on the CDROM icon on the desktop produces a popup menu with eject as one of the choices. Choosing eject ejects the CD.
The hardware eject button cannot be used to remove a CD.
Everything works but the hardware eject button is not disabled (locked) when the CD is inserted into the drive.
Thanks again

One idea would be to disable Hal/Dbus, which provide the functionality of being able to eject a CD without un-mounting it first.

Thank you for the reply.
I have only been using Linux since August but I am learning fast. How would I disable Hal/Dbus? I see Dbus processes running but it doesn't seem safe to stop them?
I would guess I somehow need to capture the signal from the hardware eject button before it reaches the program that issues the umount command.
Thanks,
SonWon |

Hi, great program... I have a son that always keeps ejecting my cdroms and therefor had a need to modigy your program a bit.
now, you can say give which drive to lock or unlock as a argument to the program. And you can enter multiple devices at the same time!
Sometime, when I have some time to spare (...!...) I will make a daemon of it and lock it if it unlocks (by eject, for example)....

I added,
And got it to compile but it does not lock the cdrom drive?
Hmm, I went back and tried the orginal code and it is also not locking?

the program really needs some work!
hmm. I didn't have that problem, but the NULL problem, isn't that a C++ problem? Well, it doesn't hurt anyway, I hope, to add #define NULL 0,
Well, there is a bug... The drive isn't locked when you have a cd in the drive and using automount! Is that what didn't work? |

Yes, this was my orginal problem with the code.
Now it does not even work with no CD. I think a reboot would change the behaviour. Something to do with the automount functions in the kernel, I think.
