Apparently it's more important to service laptop users who can't figure out how to/or can't disable floppy in bios, and or who are of the mindset that floppies are no longer necessary/used simply so they can boot faster:

With all respect to Martin Pitt et al, I've given up. Just use: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/441835/comments/268 or the 'udisks --mount /dev/fd0' recomendations, or find another distro. IMO it's no longer worth the effort & Ubuntu simply refuses to support floppies beyond udisks_1.0.1-1build1_i386.deb. There has been no effort to provide a backport for floppy users, no effort to provide a boot switch for floppy users, no effort at all to resolve this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 Title: Clicking on floppy gives "no device media found" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
