Prior to the round of updates which broke kpackagekit, my LS-120 was
working perfectly. I would stick in a superfloppy, it would spin a few
seconds, the "plugged in device" window would open, I would click on the
device, Dolphin would open up and display the files and directories on
the media.
Now, Dolphin hangs when I stick in a superfloppy. Sometimes just the
grey window, other times I get the internal white window, but no menu or
icons. The system basically hangs. Somethings will continue to
function, but not the main KUbuntu launch menu. You are definitely in a
reboot situation.
Drive works fine with a 1.44 floppy.
Someone broke something pretty bad with some ATAPI upgrade and Dolphin
cannot handle it. I deliberately applied ALL patches and rebooted, then
re-tested before filing this bug on 08-23-2009. There is quite a large
pool of us who still use the LS-120, mostly we are authors. We use them
for revolving and off-site backups. No, CD-RW is not better. We know
what works for us.
** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
