I have upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04. Everything is fine so far. But every time I press left control button, my DVD drive ejects. It does not happen with right control button. I have searched for answers but could not find anything. Any help is much appreciated.

Final answer: In system settings, reassign the short-cut for the eject to anything not containing Ctrl

I don't have this problem but I may help you at least with a few ideas. First, I have Ubuntu installed on an old Windows laptop and as you may know the SUPER key showed in keyboard shortcuts is Windows key on my laptop. Now you may have a problem that Ubuntu will see your left CTRL as a key combo or a special key,so try to connect a different keyboard to see of it still does that. If yes, the key mapping has been understood wrong by Ubuntu and you will have to search and download a keyboard mapping program, but the preliminary test for this is to put up the (or a) on-screen keyboard and see if clicking the LCTRL will still open your CD-ROM. In the ABSOLUTE worst case re-install Ubuntu. Now I just found out: go to system settings, under Text Entry and in the bottom right corner you should see keyboard settings. Check that out. If nothing indicates the use of LCTRL then do sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool in terminal and from there you HAVE to find it. Thanks for reading!!
