I can confirm this bug in Jaunty. I cannot format floppies that have been erased by a magnet.
setfdprm -p /dev/fd0 1440/1440 does fix the problem, but it must by done on every floppy that is inserted. -- Gfloppy will not successfully format a completely blank disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
