[SOLVED]Extra keyboard key to eject cd/dvd

Hi,
Every my extra key (what i needed) are working.
Problem is only with ejecting CD.

I have added to my openbox rc.xml file :

 <keybind key="XF86Eject">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>sudo eject -r /dev/sr0</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer set Master 5- unmute</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer set Master 5+ unmute</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer set Master toggle</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>

and only eject doesn't working.

Everybody user can do "eject". So I dont know why key not working.

Did you configure sudo so that it doesn't ask for a password (for this particalur command)? If not, that's probably the problem. Anyway, I think users in group optical can use eject -- no need for sudo -- and maybe this is what you mean by 'Everybody user can do "eject".'.

I would really like to know how you fixed this.  I'm having the same issue on my debian box.  I don't need sudo to eject, however.

I just remove sudo from this line:

 <execute>sudo eject -r /dev/sr0</execute>

Now it's look :

 <execute>eject -r /dev/sr0</execute>
