After installing Kubuntu 7.10 directly I also encountered the problem of mounting a floppy. Of the various solutions found on the internet only the procedure
sudo mount -o rw -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 worked. But I found out later that first installing Ubuntu and then adding the Kubuntu desktop through sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and starting up Kubuntu I could now create a floppy desktop icon (right click desktop, create new, link to device, floppy device) by means of which I could now mount and unmount floppies. So, for me, the problem is solved. -- impossible mount floppy device in /media https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103378 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
