If I understood correctly, the latest udisks version always reports that "no media is present" in the floppy disk drives. I suppose that when you click the floppy icon, Gnome asks usdisks if there is media in the drive. And the answer is always no. The command "udisks --mount /dev/fd0" probably does not do the media check, and that is why it works. See bug #539515 for the reasons behind the latest udisks patch. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
