Of course this problem needs to be fixed. In my opinion, this is even a high priority bug. Such elementary tasks as reading a floppy disk shall not pose a problem.
The problem is perhaps because kubuntu "thinks" the floppy drive is on /dev/ -- media:/ does not handle floppy mounting correctly https://launchpad.net/bugs/30207 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
