Maybe I was able to figure it out. There is a program in synaptic called "fdutils" if this is enabled it will make the floppy work. I am not sure but prior to that I did try this that I found in a 8.10 bug fix. To load floppy module floppy to the end of the list. Save the file & Close document. 1C. Reboot. 2. Run : sudo mkdir floppy0 sudo chmod g+rwx floppy0 sudo chmod o-rx floppy0 sudo modprobe floppy sudo mount /dev/fd0 floppy0 2A. Reboot. Then add fdutils and the floppy should work, and the icon that reads floppy on the places should change to 1.5 MB Media (I think having two names for one device could be also part of the problem) Anyhow while it does seem to still not know what to think of "some" floppies inserted it was able to open others...
To all you developers, I am no expert on this just a regular guy but I do wish you guys at FF and conical would do two things, 1 stop thinking that we ALL use windows as many people use Ubuntu as a stand alone desktop. and two, try to keep it simple.... But apart from that the people developing in the ubuntu and firefox world, you do a great job! thanks -- Floppy drive will not open, will not mount. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374257 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
