Perhaps not related to this bug & I'll file a new one once this bug is sorted out if it's not, but I noticed that on a fully updated 10.4.1 Lucid (with the exception of udisks) I can no longer format a floppy via 'System|Administration|Disk Utility' or via Kfloppy, or Nautilus. When attempting to format to FAT via any of those I get: Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/fd0: Input/output error
The only way that I can now format the floppy is using '$ usermount' provided via: $ apt-cache policy usermode usermode: Installed: 1.102-0.1 Candidate: 1.102-0.1 Version table: *** 1.102-0.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/usermode That is of course in combination with: $ apt-cache policy udisks udisks: Installed: 1.0.1-1build1 Candidate: 1.0.1-1ubuntu1 Version table: 1.0.1-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages *** 1.0.1-1build1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Interesting that usermode works & the others do not. -- Clicking on floppy gives "no device media found" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 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
