[Bug 441835] Re: Clicking on floppy gives "no device media found"

[Tibor Bősze]

I believe the situation is not so hopeless as some might feel. As I have
stated i bug #599915:

Workaround: Mounting the floppy with the command "udisks --mount
/dev/fd0" completes successfully, the mount shows up in /etc/mtab and
the GUI also displays the icon, the floppy can be browsed etc,
everything works. But there is no other (graphical) way to mount the
floppy with udisks of version 1.0.1-1ubuntu1. At least I have not found
any way to do so.

I do not want to suggest that going to the terminal should be the
preferred way of mounting a floppy. I merely want to state that the
command works, and one would have to analyze how comes the difference in
behavior between running this command and clicking the GUI. It is backed
by the same subsystem after all.

Addressing usability concerns, one can create a simple script with error
handling / friendly popup messages, and put an icon onto the Desktop for
any user who is not comfortable with commandline. Of course this is not
more than a workaround.

I hope this helps.
