Looks like it. As I mentioned on the mailing list, I'm happy to review

probing the existence of a floppy will lock up the process for 30
secs, and anything which waits on it (and moreover, it might even
cause locks on the IDE bus, so that other programs/drives lock as
well), so that's the very thing which we need to avoid. I've been
burnt by this too many times to ever want to touch it again..

Yes, I've seen that, but it would again cause users of udisks to try
and do something with the floppy, and any access to a floppy
controller which doesn't have a floppy attached causes a 30 second
freeze. It might be that this patch makes it work again for computers
with a floppy (fixing this case is actually trivial), but it's next to
impossible to continuously guarantee that the "no floppy" case (which
is the common one) keeps working. I fixed this kind of bug in way too
many places to have any faith left that we can sensibly support
floppies in the modern desktop software infrastructure. Also, frankly
I have no interest in doing so, as working around the regressions is
just way more effort than it's worth.

I'm aware that this means "floppies are broken with Linux" :(

Unfortunately it's not that simple. That fix is what we had originally
in udisks, but it caused very long delays during boot (sometimes 30
minutes [sic]) due to the rather braindead way motherboards and floppy
controllers are built.

No, it won't. There is no fix for this right now.

GNOME 3.4 might switch to udisks2, which might or might not make this
better, but right now this is is still in development.

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

2011-02-08 Thread Brian Vaughan
The issue is that floppy disks are no longer auto-mounted on the GNOME
desktop. Floppy disks can easily be mounted at the command line, so what's
lost is a convenience, and one that matters most to novice users.
Contemporary personal computers rarely have floppy drives installed; it has
been many years since floppy disk drives were a standard feature. It seems
to me that it is unlikely for someone who needs access to floppy disks to be
a novice computer user and unwilling to use a command line interface.

Given the resources available to Ubuntu developers, and the priorities of
the Ubuntu distribution, I think that it's reasonable for the developers to
leave this as it is.

It won't matter. Apparently it's more important to service laptop users
who can't figure out how to/or can't disable floppy in bios, and or who
are of the mindset that floppies are no longer necessary/used simply so
they can boot faster:






You can review/find the rest:


Bottom line is that Ubuntu dev's simply can't figure out a way, or can't
be bothered to resolve the issue.

 With all respect to Martin Pitt et al, I've given up. Just use:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/441835/comments/268
or the 'udisks --mount /dev/fd0' recomendations, or find another distro.
IMO it's no longer worth the effort & Ubuntu simply refuses to support
floppies beyond udisks_1.0.1-1build1_i386.deb. There has been no effort
to provide a backport for floppy users, no effort to provide a boot
switch for floppy users, no effort at all to resolve this issue.

Please see above. In the problematic case, the linux kernel and the
BIOS detect the floppy *controller*, and thus think that a floppy is
present. This seems to be the case with a lot of motherboards, which
have a floppy controller, but no drive attached to it. Then, if you
try to speak to the floppy through the controller, you get the long
timeouts.

If there is an actual floppy drive, there is no problem.

This would need to happen in the kernel, though; I'm pretty sure that
it already has a timeout, since the detection calls do fail eventually
- it just takes excruciatingly long (some 20 seconds).

Yes, we deliberately want to break stuff, just to annoy users.

More seriously, that's how open source works -- if no developer is
interested in fixing something, it's hard to get done. And developers
tend to have and play with new hardware.. (i. e. it's already hard
these days to find a CD-ROM drive)

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

2010-11-10 Thread Nestor
I use Ubuntu 10.10, 32-bit,  computer i.386

I mount the floppy with the command:

(suggested by Seppo Aarnio)

udisks --mount /dev/fd0

I Click on the icon that appears on the desktop screen,
it opens a blank window

I pick up any file (smaller that 1MB, example an image.jpg) and I drop it on
the blank window.(Or drop  it on the floppy icon)  It stay there.

Then I check it by openning it with gimp or an image viewer, and it
works.

I umount the floppy, take it out, put it back again, mount it

Then I check it by openning it with gimp or an image viewer, and it works
very well.

I can erase the file as a normal user.

I do all of this as user. Never as root.

Then to format the floppy, first I unmount it

second, I open a terminal and as root:

sudo mformat a:

and the floppy is formatted.
--

NOW the TEST, i use a live cd (ubuntu 10.10)and I can read the floppy
content BUT I can NOT WRITE on it as normal user. I can write in it or erase
the files using sudo, like you wrote.

Probably the problem with the floppy recognition and function is the same
with the installed Ubuntu 10.10, I have to use a command new to the software
of Ubuntu 10.10 in order that the distro recognize the floppy. But for a
reason that I don't know the solution for the installed version does not
work 100% in the live installation. Maybe it is due to a partial install of
drivers in the live cd.

Sorry I can not help.

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

2010-09-04 Thread Tibor Bősze
I believe the situation is not as 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.

Cheers,
   Tibor

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

2010-09-01 Thread Johnathon Weare
Either:
1. release notes must include issue of deprecated support for floppies
(does not work), or
2. bug must be prioritised accordingly

If 2., then I suggest a high priority as floppies are actively used for:
a) BIOS updates
b) legacy files
c) supported has not been dropped by other equivalent OSs (I think)

Thanks for the offer. However, I'm being paid for developing Ubuntu,
so if I'd get floppy drives, I'd certainly pay for them myself, or
expense them. Anyway, it'll be very hard to try and fit an IDE floppy
disk into a laptop :-), so at most this could be an USB drive; no idea
whether these are broken as well.

I guess another option would be to use kvm and an emulated drive.

So this by and large requires someone to spend half a day on. We
already tried to fix this twice, and each time it broke something
else. This is a really hard problem, I'm afraid, due to how floppies
work (or more importantly, what they are missing -- media change
interrupts).

You already summarized it pretty well. None of the devs have a floppy
disk, so debugging them is a pain (as much of a pain as floppy disks
are in the first place..) Personally, the last one I had was 2002..

So for now, I'm afraid that you have to use an older Ubuntu release
for now, or use the downgraded version for a while.

I'm sorry that this isn't the answer you are looking for, but it's the
current situation.

Right, that's a known bug/limitation right now.

You should be able to add /dev/fd0 to /etc/fstab with the "user"

I've multiple test machines with floppies & would be happy to assist in
providing debugging information if you can point me to who this might be
assigned to. Perhaps David Zeuthen or Scott James Remnant?

No, it really doesn't. Please read the upstream bug for more details.

This is not easy to fix, since few, if any, developers still have a
floppy, and due to how floppies work they are very hard to integrate
into nowaday's hotplugging structure.

The bug is understood, there is no need to confirm it any further.

The KDE work around works better as it allows the disk to be unmounted, 
however I like many tens of thousands of people would like to see the 
fix come in an update, and in the mean time many people have reverted to 
the older more functional versions in the LTS and 9.04.
Only one of our machines has 9.10 left on it.
