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

[Charlie Kravetz]

Unfortunately, this issue is alive and exists in Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat. There appears to be no way to mount a floppy disk in Maverick, all attempts result in "No media found". The drive exists in both 'Places' and when opening 'Places -> Computer'. There is an entry in /etc/fstab for the floppy, as well as a directory in /media. Commenting out the /etc/fstab and restarting the system does not allow mounting. Trying to mount by opening a terminal and typing:
     sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
gives no error messages, but does not result in the floppy disk being recognized.
