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

Please click on the little grey check-mark icon below the "0" and that is the best "Thank you" you can give me as anyone else having this problem can find that as an accepted answer. (and my reputation goes up) ;-)– FabbyDec 16, 2014 at 8:45
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!!

@Rares Thank You. I reassigned the eject shortcut and it is solved now! Left CTRL no more ejects the drive. Dec 16, 2014 at 4:16
gsettings list-recursively 2> /dev/null | grep --ignore-case ctrl
and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.comxev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'
and see whether the output gives you9 Escape
3 times if you press it 3 times?xev
