[Bug 255651] Re: floppy disk drive not detected (module not loaded) in Intrepid and Jaunty

2011-05-13 Thread Martin G Miller
For older motherboards that require a floppy to update the BIOS, it's
easily done from a bootable floppy disk.  Back in the days when I used
to run Windows, I always did it that way because I didn't trust having
Windows running while doing something as critical as a BIOS update. The
OS installed on the HDD is irrelevant.  As long as all the hardware is
correct and properly recognized by the motherboard, you don't even have
to have an OS installed to do a BIOS update and in fact, many system
builders will argue that it's a good idea to update the BIOS prior to
installing the OS.

I don't mean this to be a dismissal of the need for floppy support.
It's still needed by people for other use cases with devices that only
read/write their data to floppy.  It's just that for BIOS management,
it's simply not needed.

If you read through the link provided in #108 above, you will find
several mentions of (relatively) simple cli solutions for mounting and
unmounting the floppy.  These can be semi-automated to 1 click solutions
as launchers on the top panel.  Not ideal, but a usable workaround till
this (hopefully) gets fixed.

2010-06-27 Thread Brian Vaughan
As far as I can tell, all the bug reports regarding floppy disk drives
have been marked as duplicates of this one, and this is marked Fix
Released. But, there's still a bug, somewhat different from the
original description in this bug report. The icon for a floppy drive
appears in Nautilus, but the disk cannot actually be read: it's
indicated that there is no media in the drive.

See this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1511446

@Brian Vaughan,

pls take a look at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/441835?comments=all

for more on the floppy subject on karmic and lucid. there are well over
200 posts. sometimes I ask myself, how many bugs and posts would be
required to get this/these issue/es solved once and for all in ubuntu
releases ? I mean, is it acceptable to see users turned off and give up
on ubuntu because of its inability to mount floppy media and see win fly
through it ? is it a reason to not make work a basic computer device
because of rants that it is an obsolete technology ? I know quite a few
people and fairly large offices after experimenting with ubuntu for a
while  that went back to win after it was discovered this issue.

I keep seeing that this bug has been fixed.  I would like to see the fix
so that I can FIX it on my computer.  Maybe someone can help me with
it as I have tried most all of the suggested fixes and none have worked
yet.

Maybe a ask me to look at X and report what I have, then offer the
next step based on the response.  Somehow it has to be made to work.

Thanks.

@John Hart

This bug was about the floppy drive not detected on boot.
Giving sudo modprobe floppy (which loads floppy module) in a terminal was a 
workaround to make it works.

If you tried using that command in a terminal and it didn't work, It's because 
you have a different bug from this one.
So have a look on launchpad if another bug is already opened about your bug.
If not, open a new one.

Thanks.

[Bug 255651] Re: floppy disk drive not detected (module not loaded) in Intrepid and Jaunty

2009-11-02 Thread John Hart
My BIOS has the floppy drive selected, so  it should know that a floppy
drive is present.  Also my OS has loaded the floppy kernel on my desktop
(the computer with a floppy drive), The same OS has not loaded the
floppy kernel on my laptop. That indicated to me that the OS detects the
floppy drive, and when found loads the kernel for it, but the OS cannot
for some reason access it.

I know floppy disks are old technology, but it should not be that much
of a problem to get them to work with a modern OS.  Of course as soon as
I can access my floppy disks, I will move the data to CD-R's and be done
with it.  I just want to get my old data files (image files, documents,
and other files)

Since I have two desktops that exhibit the same lack of being able to
access the floppy drive, one PC being over 5 years old the other newer,
at least one of them should be able to access the floppy drive.

I am sure the older Linux distros could access the floppy drive, so why
can't that access be recreated?

2009-11-01 Thread bwallum
Are we saying that Ubuntu cannot access floppy drives without a degree
in computer technology? This is plain nonsense, it has to work out of
the box. How can I help test any possible solutions please?

The user specification is:

If a floppy drive is fitted to a computer and correctly configured in the BIOS 
setup then it should be found by the operating system at boot and shown in 
Places.

When the user clicks on 'Floppy Drive' in Places the system should show the 
folders/files of the 'Floppy Drive' in a normal nautilus window, similar to the 
contents of a cd when placed in the cdrom drive.


Can this be done?

[Bug 255651] Re: floppy disk drive not detected (module not loaded) in Intrepid and Jaunty

2009-11-01 Thread Jan Claeys
I think the problem is that older BIOSs don't know whether or not a
floppy drive is present (floppy drives still use an old technology
designed back in 1981 or such) and loading the floppy driver module when
there is no floppy drive (by adding it to /etc/modules) for everybody
would probably slow down booting and result in lots of error messages
(and might in some cases even cause harm to other hardware?).

Maybe adding the floppy driver to the hardware dialog that also has the
closed source drivers for video cards etc. is a possible way to make it
easier to enable this for normal users?

I tried using Miketan63 procedure and got as far as step 4.  Step four 
failed.  I got the following message: Cannot Initialize Device, 
unable to open any device formatting cannot continue

That is it.  I do not have a floppy icon in my Places computer:///
file.

I have been trying  to get my floppy drive to work through three 
different upgrades of Ubuntu (9.04, 8.10,  8.04) without any success.  
I would really like to get it working.

If anyone can help or want more info on my computer let me know.

2009-05-09 Thread John
I think the reason the floppy stops working is there is a conflict with either 
java jre or the plug in or the adobe flash for firefox.  prior to adding adobe 
flash the floppy 1,5 media was showing up and working but after it now just 
shows floppy and it will not mount, and will not open.  So something conflicted 
with it.
It was OK prior to the latest upgrade in 9.04
Never had any trouble with it in 8.10 or 8.04 however the java plug in did not 
work in 8.10 as it does in 9.04 but unlike 8.04 now the floppy drive is not 
working.  Hope that helps

2009-05-06 Thread John Hart
I have read through this bug thread and I sure am confused as to the
fix.  I have not been able to use a floppy drive with Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10
and now 9.04.

Would someone publish the fix  so that the floppy drives will work.

In the thread I read that someone else has the floppy drive light on all
the time.  The response was that the cable is backwards.   That is not
the truth, as I have two desktops with floppy drive lights that are on
all the time.  I have tried the cable in all four ways and it stays on.
I have made sure the red indicator strip is towards the number one
terminal.  In short I have done all the physical things one can do and I
still have the led staying on, in two (2) different desktops.

I tried to add Floppy to my /etc/modules file and I got a message that I
did not have authorization to make a change.  So I know I was not doing
it correctly.  Some instructions in that area would help me.  Thanks.

2009-03-22 Thread Rick Keever
oops! I spoke too soon. I have the floppy drive back, but now when I
remove the floppy, the files remain and I cannot close them. Finally
deleted all, and cannot open a new floppy disc. The only way to open a
new disc is to reboot and the circle starts anew. Any ideas?

Always unmount a disk before removing it.

would be very helpful.  These kernels are available at the URL below:

2009-03-06 Thread Andy Whitcroft
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Intrepid)
   Status: In Progress = Fix Committed

** Description changed:

  Trying out intrepid daily-live: There is no floppy in Computer and no
  /dev/fd0. The floppy module has not been loaded. This is maybe a bug
  in initramfs-tools or udev, but I file it here for now.
  
  WORKAROUND: add floppy to /etc/modules, for instance this way:
   echo floppy | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
+ 
+ ===
+ 
+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Justification: floppy devices are not detected and presented to the user
+ as they were in Hardy and before
+ 
+ Impact: novice users cannot see their floppy.  floppy remains active
+ until the module is loaded by hand
+ 
+ Fix Description: add a module alias to the floppy driver so that it
+ auto-loads when a floppy is detected
+ 
+ Patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-
+ intrepid.git;a=commit;h=57d29e0fe30fd7acf825225dcc8bfc877ff20376
+ 
+ Risks: low, only affects the floppy driver which is also pretty rare
+ 
+ TEST CASE: boot with a floppy drive present (non-USB)

The fix for the floppy driver is in my GIT tree, and I've requested that
the kernel team pull from it:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=scott/ubuntu-
jaunty.git;a=commitdiff;h=92c7c6aafabb109a9f3e97ddfe5f632ffa37e430

It also contains various other auto-loading and option fixes I found at
the same time.

I'll rebase these against linux-2.6 and send to lkml as well

This is triggered by the removal of some udev rules.  These rules
however are plain wrong the correct fix is to add the correct acpi
MODALIAS to the floppy driver.  This is being attacked as part of the
modprobe.d fixups.  This will fix all machines using ACPI.

Thanks for that, now I have another problem.

Any time I try to install Ubuntu (and also Debian) in a computer running 
an analog monitor I am confined to resolution of 800 x 600.  There are 
NO options.
Do the same with an LCD screen and no problems.
Help please, I have several people waiting on this.

Very severe bug :
For guru's, it's an evidence !
For users with commandline experience, small problem.
But for common users, without any experience, suddenly a device disappear !
For newbies in Ubuntu, it's a severe problem.
I gave some initiation in linux and ubuntu : what shall i say to students ?

Hello,

Why they dont just fix it?
Isn't this clear enough? They generate dozens, hundreds of minor updates, but 
not the most intimidating ones.
We have so many daily updates, but this obvious fail is not recognized, nor 
fixed automatically.
The same thing with network adapters with static IP address.

Ubuntu is obviously loosing its share ignoring such bugs.

2009-02-16 Thread Francesco Potortì
There is nothing in the module that would cause it to be automatically
loaded; this is not a bug in module-init-tools or udev

** Changed in: module-init-tools (Ubuntu)

What does 'invalid' mean?  The bug exists.

Before 8.10, once I put a floppy in, I could double-click and open it.
Now I get an error, unless I 'modprobe floppy' first.

2009-02-16 Thread Chris Coulson
The bug is still valid (and triaged) against the kernel. This is not a
bug in module-init-tools, so Scott marked that particular task invalid.
