I have two PC with 8.04 Ubuntu and neither will mount the floppy drives and the floppy drive activity light stays on the whole time. I have tried different ribbon cables, change the hookup for different ways, even got the floppy manufacturer to replace the new drive. On the new PC no floppy shows up in the [Places]>[Computer] and on the rebuilt PC the floppy drive shows up.
My main PC is a AMD Athlon 64 2X (operating at 32), 2 GB RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-ROM, Floppy drive, media card reader, 320 GB HD, PNY GPU. I have rebuild another PC by installing a new MoBo, case fan, and Power Supply and using all the old drives & case. I get the same floppy situation with this PC also. Floppy light stays on all the time. The unit is an old eMachine with a DVD-RW, CD-ROM, Floppy drive, media card reader, AMD Athlon XP, 1 GB RAM, 120GB HD, D-Link WiFi. -- Unable to mount floppy drives in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254009 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
