I believe I solved my problem...
I noticed that my /etc/fstab file no longer had the "user" parameter for
fd0.
I added that back...
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
(As a side note, I had installed mountmanager, which overwrote my fstab
file, so be careful if you use that program!)
Now @maeru's solution works for me as well.
However I am forced through a clunky 4 step process...
1. Click on the "Floppy" icon in Places | Computer
2. Receive error "Unable to mount location. No media in drive." even though a
floppy is inserted.
Despite this error, the "Floppy" icon will change to "Floppy Drive: Floppy
Disk" in Nautilus.
3. Click on this new icon.
A new "floppy0" icon will appear in Nautilus. The "Floppy Drive: Floppy
Disk" will revert back to the original "Floppy" icon.
4. Click on the new "floppy0" icon to access the diskette.
I'm happy to have it working, but the user flow needs to be improved.
Does any one else have this issue with multiple steps, or does your
floppy mount immediately?
