Cannot acess cd rom with thunar

I am using openbox + thunar, and when I try to acess a cd-rom, I get this error:

Given device "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/159" is not a volume or drive.

Little screenshot of the problem: http://i7.tinypic.com/52p5qx1.png

I can acess usb flash drive, this problem only happens when I try to acess a cd rom. Any ideia how to fix this? Hal, dbs and thunar-volman are installed.

Re: Cannot acess cd rom with thunar

Have you commented out the CD/DVD listings in /etc/fstab?  That does the trick for me... for example:

# /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
# /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

I realize this may not be what's causing that specific error message, but in the past I received similar messages about the CD-ROM not matching blah blah format, etc.  It's worth a try anyway.  Good luck.

Re: Cannot acess cd rom with thunar

I don't know why, but its working now! o.O

I have not commented these lines when I installed HAL some weeks ago, I have deleted them. Now I added this lines again in fstab, commented them out and its working!

But I can only eject the cd-rom drive if I use "eject cd-rom" in thunar or type eject /dev/cdrom in terminal. If I press the cd-rom drive button, the drive do not eject.
