if the eject media button is giving you an kioworker error then you can kill the task in the system monitor and try again.

or you can go settings > session… change to the “start from an empty session” and reboot.

also there is always that little hole on the optical disk device you can jamb a paperclip into.

Close Dolphin if it’s open.
