Kubuntu 8.10 Found a solution for this bug combining some ideas from the forums. 1. Make a "floppy" dir into "media" dir: sudo mkdir /media/floppy 2. Add this to fstab: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 3. Mount floppy: sudo mount -o rw -t auto /dev/fd0 /media/floppy 4. Maybe manually add floppy group to root and normal user. Don't now yet if some of these can be made automaticaly. Thank you all. I hope this may help others.

[Bug 103378] Re: impossible mount floppy device in /media
After installing Kubuntu 7.10 directly I also encountered the problem of mounting a floppy. Of the various solutions found on the internet only the procedure sudo mount -o rw -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 worked. But I found out later that first installing Ubuntu and then adding the Kubuntu desktop through sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and starting up Kubuntu I could now create a floppy desktop icon (right click desktop, create new, link to device, floppy device) by means of which I could now mount and unmount floppies. So, for me, the problem is solved. -- impossible mount floppy device in /media https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Dudes, I really couldn't find in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuKDEMedia any reason (I supose that there were good ones) to not use media:/ (maybe I did a poor reading). Could anyone explain it? I really saw were lots of complaints (the problems dealed in this bug) about the (weak) workaround of /media/, what I saw corrected in Gutsy by using, for my surprise (and as mlaverdiere wrote before), system:/media - ! - ... Well, I thought that it was pretty different (better) than media:/ but (again, maybe I did poor testing but ...) it works (and looks) exactly alike! ... Can anyone see any difference? I really don't get (I know that, as I said, in this case specifically, the current solution acts just like what we were proposing - unless I'm wrong - but I, at least, would like to understand) why not to use the corresponding kioslave to everything ... I'm sorry but, honestly, without a good reason, it gives me the impression of kid stuff, you know (like "what we did was not good but we'll not use an old behaviour either")? ... This is why I'm intrigued about this (maybe small) issue ... I can't (and refuse to) be believe in this impression ... I don't think it'd be a big deal to go back to a (working) previous behaviour.

I understand why it has been decided to not use the media:/ anymore in Kubuntu (see the reasons here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuKDEMedia) but with all the respect, the implementation of /media usage is somewhat a failure.

[Bug 103378] Re: impossible mount floppy device in /media
Hi, Epsilom. I've been making a few tests yesterday and I've seen that there's some more thing to do ... One of them is when you insert a new media and kubuntu asks you what do you wanna do with it: open in a new window, ... and do nothing. If you open it in a new window, you'll see that it's been opened over /media/[device]. It should be changed for the correct path by kioslave. Also, when you're in a file saving dialog, if you select, on the left options, storage media, it's also /media. So, I've been thinking, as kde or (k)ubuntu developer which I'm not (actually, far from it - yet), if there's no more clever, more centered, way to do it, in which we make a change in one place, instead of this way, changing lots of places with the risk of forgetting some ... So, I ask who knows kubuntu *very* well (I don't know if it's your case, Epsilom, or someone else's but, whoever can answer with precision): is there? -- impossible mount floppy device in /media https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Well, I tested placing it on /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/apps/systemview/media.desktop an it works but it'll only keep the original System menu order if you also copy /usr/share/apps/systemview/home.desktop there, 'cause /.../kubuntu-default-settings/.../systemview looks like preceding the list of item from /usr/share/apps/systemview and Storage Media starts appearing on first place, before all other items. Copying home.desktop there made it get first place again, putting Storage Media back to second place. So, I'm not the most qualified to tell where's the best place to put his file (/.../kubuntu-default-settings/.../systemview or /usr/share/apps/systemview/) once I don't know the benefits or not of each of them. I sent the wrong file before (a previous version), then I replaced it here now. Please notice that it's owner and group are set to rot and, if it will be released w/ feisty or if someone will use it, please change it's owner and group to the necessary ones (if needed). ** Attachment added: ".../share/apps/systemview/media.desktop file to point System Menu > Storage Media to media:/" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7345437/media.desktop -- impossible mount floppy device in /media https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 103378] Re: impossible mount floppy device in /media
I used to have the same problem. So that I stopped using System Menu > Storage Media (which today's default is to point to /media) for read floppy disks, pen drives (they were using to left some of the folders in which they're mounted listed in /media) or any other storage media. Instead, I was launching System Menu > Home Folder and, by choosing Services side button in the then opened konqueror window, I selected in its tree, Storage Media (this one points to media:/). As you can see, it's a long way to get there! So, I just copied /usr/share/apps/systemview/media.desktop to ~/.kde/share/apps/systemview/media.desktop (I created systemview folder there) and edited it from Path=/media to Path=media:/ Now, my System Menu > Storage Media points to media:/ and it is just neat! So, I second the asking for considering it on feisty and even attach here my edited media.desktop file to make it even easier/faster to replace /usr/share/apps/systemview one in time for the release ;-) Thanks in advance. ** Attachment added: "/usr/share/apps/systemview/media.desktop file to point System Menu > Storage Media to media:/" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7345067/media.desktop -- impossible mount floppy device in /media https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
