I tried the Dapper i386 Desktop Cd live environment and experienced the same problem :
doubleclick on the floppy icon na dit takes about a minute to do something and then it does NOT open the floppy contents. Doubleclicking it again finaly opens the contents. (file list window). The same happens with the other floppy unit, which is an ATA floppy (LS-120). During the long "something" it does not wait on error or like, but actually reads the floppy. Click..click...click... like when formatting or doing a sector copy. After a while I started counting the clicks and counted 21. So there were at least 40 clicks or more, meaning, at least half of the floppy was read in. -- USB floppy automounting takes very long https://launchpad.net/bugs/30007 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
