You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Prior to the round of updates which broke kpackagekit, my LS-120 was
working perfectly.  I would stick in a superfloppy, it would spin a few
seconds, the "plugged in device" window would open, I would click on the
device, Dolphin would open up and display the files and directories on
the media.

Now, Dolphin hangs when I stick in a superfloppy.  Sometimes just the
grey window, other times I get the internal white window, but no menu or
icons.  The system basically hangs.  Somethings will continue to
function, but not the main KUbuntu launch menu.  You are definitely in a
reboot situation.

Drive works fine with a 1.44 floppy.

Someone broke something pretty bad with some ATAPI upgrade and Dolphin
cannot handle it.  I deliberately applied ALL patches and rebooted, then
re-tested before filing this bug on 08-23-2009.  There is quite a large
pool of us who still use the LS-120, mostly we are authors.  We use them
for revolving and off-site backups.  No, CD-RW is not better.  We know
what works for us.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Fix Released
