The issue is that floppy disks are no longer auto-mounted on the GNOME desktop. Floppy disks can easily be mounted at the command line, so what's lost is a convenience, and one that matters most to novice users. Contemporary personal computers rarely have floppy drives installed; it has been many years since floppy disk drives were a standard feature. It seems to me that it is unlikely for someone who needs access to floppy disks to be a novice computer user and unwilling to use a command line interface.
Given the resources available to Ubuntu developers, and the priorities of the Ubuntu distribution, I think that it's reasonable for the developers to leave this as it is. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
