Response to some people are wondering how this can be possible, if there is no floppy drive in the machine. Obviously the presence of the floppy controller is enough. There is no recognition whether a drive is connected to the controller. (Or maybe that recognition is broken, but I don't believe that such recognition at all exists)
As I wrote in duplicate report https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586873 the following facts seem interesting to me: - This problem did on appear with Ubuntu Intrepid on the same machine. So it is a regression introduced somewhere on the way. (Unfortunately I've never had Jaunty or Karmic on this machine. So it's a long way :( - This problem does *NOT* happen in Kubuntu Lucid on the same machine. Although Kubuntu has exactly the same floppy line in /etc/fstab KDE just doesn't seem to call the mount command like GNOME. -- Attempts to mount floppy despite no media present - disable automount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
