Floppy Drive not detected in SUSE 11.2
I have just installed SUSE 11.2 on a spare Hard Drive, on a machine that runs SUSE 11.1 with no probs. There is not a floppy icon on the desktop in 11.2, if I put a disk in the drive & right click on floppy drive in home, then click detect media - the floppy light comes on for a short while, but nothing else. There was not an entry in fstab for floppy,so I added -
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 rebooted & tried again, no difference. The drive is OK on the same machine running SUSE 11.1 Any ideas / solutions please. |
Floppy , Suse 11.2 OSS
Could be worse. On some Ubuntu you will also have to do :
MAKEDEV fd0 && modprobe floppy. Floppies are about being extinct, don't expect them to work like you are used to. 1) # mkdir /media/floppy exit 2) mount /media/floppy , will make it possible to watch the files in e.g. dolphin. ..... |
