I can confirm this bug with 9.10 with a floppy drive, with a pre-release
version as of 8th July 2009.
The floppy issue is not related to bug #255651 as it persists if floppy
is added to /etc/modules.
Steps to replicate:
Boot machine. Floppy Drive isn't shown in nautilus.
lsmod | grep floppy shows no results.
try
mount /media/floppy
Gives result:
either mount: can't find /media/floppy in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
OR
mount: special device /dev/fd0 doesn't exist.
So to overcome these scenarios,
add line to fstab:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
add line to /etc/modules:
floppy
reboot
the above is related to bug #255651
However, the following is unrelated to that bug:
Now that we have a module installed in the kernel and an appropriate fstab
line, we can issue the command
mount /media/floppy
the floppy contents will appear when floppy is clicked in nautilus.
Click the unmoiunt icon in Nautilus, the floppy unmounts.
There is no way to mount the floppy in nautilus. Clicking on floppy drive will
not cause the disc to mount.
Unless the user reverts to the command line and issues a mount command, the
user will not be able to use the floppy disc with nautilus. The user can
unmount the floppy within nautilus. I expect nautilus would have a method to
issue a system mount command for the floppy as the user.
** Summary changed:
- Floppy drive doesn't work from file manager
+ Nautilus will not mount floppy 9.10
** Package changed: ubuntu = nautilus (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
