Floppy working in a live cd xubuntu 10.10 I have tried xubuntu 10.10 from live cd and got a floppy icon on the desktop. It could be mounted, opened and I could read a file, but not write (only root permission). Later I have installed xubuntu desktop in an ubuntu 10.10 version. Here the floppy could not be mounted, and properties of the floppy drive says 8.9 GB free ??? I think this gives one more hint about the bug, which Canonical has not been able to solve during more than a year.
On the same Pc I have during a year used Poppy Linux 4.3.1., which starts from cd, works very fast from memory and have no problems with floppies. -- Clicking on floppy gives "no device media found" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 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
