Public bug reported: While trying to access floppy drive, the led shines for a short while, then nothing happens. Neither from Places-Floppy Drive, nor from Places- Computer-Floppy drive.
Manual mounting helped. sudo mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1440 /media/floppy Resulted in the appearance of floppy icon in the computer. Access (copying, deleting) was possible only from command line and as a root. Umount was possible only for the root user.
