Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: util-linux
Floppy media recognition was broken in 9.10
This appeared to have been fixed in 10.04 (though I had to add this line to
fstab:"/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0", and
add a directory for the mount point)
This worked for a while, but yesterday I had to read a floppy, and the system
is again failing to recognize the media.
Clicking on "Detect Media" in Nautilus spins the disk for a few seconds, but
never lets me mount the disk.
Disk Utility claims "No Media Detected".
I was able to read the floppy on another Ubuntu system, that is a 32 bit
system that has bugs in the display driver, so it is pretty much a clean
install since the display driver bugs make it unusable. I updated that
system to the latest code before attempting to read the floppy.
