floppy doent work ubuntu 12.04
I need help getting my floppy working. When I insert a floppy the light does not come on. If I go to "computer" and right click on the floppy, and mount, it sayes there is no media. If I use a formater it says the drive is not defined.

May be it's like Ubuntu 10.04 ?

well it is not a bug
it is the NORM now you can not buy a new computer with a 3.5 floppy drive nor are any new 3.5 disks being made ( the last factory line went dark about 1.5 years ago) what are in warehouses are it there will never be any more made for that reason 3.5 floppy drives are not even looked for ( were 8 in drives still looked for ??? no ) you need to run modprobe first to have the kernel even look for it then manually mount it |
