[Bug 441835] Re: [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10)
I just want to comment, that my floppy drive works well in an updated version of 9.04 to 9.10, but it does not work from the common GUI interface.

the duplicate bug mentioned in recent comments indicate the devicekit- disks interface has issues with the floppy drive too, seems rather a bug in devicekit-disks there ** Package changed: gvfs (Ubuntu) = devicekit-disks (Ubuntu) -- [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 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
[Bug 441835] Re: [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10)
As the device is seen by udev and correctly created during the early boot it does not seem to be a bug in the kernel. It may be a permissions issue with the fd drive device as made by udev, or alternatively an issue at a higher level: KERNEL[1258912797.217841] add /devices/platform/floppy.0/block/fd0 (block) UDEV_LOG=3 ACTION=add DEVPATH=/devices/platform/floppy.0/block/fd0 SUBSYSTEM=block DEVNAME=fd0 DEVTYPE=disk SEQNUM=1006 MAJOR=2 MINOR=0 Will add tasks for those levels for confirmation. ** Also affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 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
[Bug 441835] Re: [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10)
The device seems to be being detected correctly and udev informed as we do get a /dev/fd0. So it seems either the device does not have appropriate permissions, or the notification not being passed on to higher layers, or indeed those layers may not be taking appropriate action. Therefore adding tasks for udev and for gvfs to see if they can detemine why. Logs are below for the udev components. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Andy Whitcroft (apw) -- [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 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

If the 9.10 not work properly can we not upgrade any more computers and we must wait and look on next LTS version and test them very hard. OpenSUSE 11,2 have also problems with floppydrive there not working ether . This code is working like Francisco Canabas wrote but a new floppy module is started between the standard floppy module? In case no other alternative are availability. sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 -o umask=000 We have 9.04 and 8.04 LTS, did not like 8.10 for some reason I recall it had prolbems too. However 9.04 worked fine and I think what we will do is put it back onto the hard drive with 9.10 and just stop using 9.10 for a while. Apart from the Open Office versions being different that has not much effect on functionality as both work fine and I kind of think the older one that is still using firefox 3.0.15 and google chrome as we kept the old firefox and did not let it update to 3.5, and it has the new chrome it kind of seems more stable and faster once it is up and running. So there is a lot to be said that is good about 8.04 and 9.04. 9.10 otherwise is pretty good, but I think up and running 9.04 is a better program and 8.04 is far more stable and proven dependable. -- [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 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

I think they did USB support and forgot about floppy by ribbon cable as an internal device.

They just left out the necessary software that is needed to utilize an internal floppy and until it is fixed we will just keep using older versions that do work. I don't think it is a bug, I think it is an oversight that was just left out, by people thinking small notebook and USB and not about the millions of laptops and desktops that do have internal FLOPPY. Someone just has to go back, add that in and then let it go out in an update. -- [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 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
