I tried the suggestion in comment #74, to disable the floppy in bios - rebooted, plugged in my flash drive and...nothing :( But, I no longer see the floppy drive icon. So, that's an improvement AND I shaved several seconds on my boot time too! For the record, I do not have a floppy drive, never did. And, my USB shows up if I leave it plugged in for a restart. It's a work around, but it means always remembering to plug in my usb when I start the laptop - or restarting when I do need it. This wasn't a problem in either Intrepid, Jaunty or Karmic - just Lucid.
If it helps the discussion. Upon upgrade to Karmic, the CD player didn't work either and nor was the iPod recognized. I have to turn off media_automount in apps>nautilus>preferences. Then upon inserting a CD or media player (either the iPod or my Creative Zen), go to places and right-click on the appropriate icon, then select mount. All is well after that. Could these issues be related? -- Attempts to mount floppy despite no media present - disable automount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
