Help please with mounting of floppy drive
My system is as follows;
Mother Board ASUS M2N-MXSE plus
Processor AMD Athlon 64
2GB RAM
OS Fedora 10 64 Bit (fully upadted)
Gnome Desktop (have not tried this on KDE)
Every thing seems to work fine up to the pint when I place a Floppy in the drive and try to look at the contents. If I open the "computer" icon on the desktop and click on the floppy icom I see a message
"Unalble to mount Location. Can't mount file"
If I go to Places>removable media> floppy, I get the noise of the drive starting and sounding it is is doing something. This stops and then nothing. The above only happens once. If i try again without restarting the computer there is no sounds from the drive at all.
If I try to open the floppy by using the Applications>system tools> File browser nothing happens t all.
The usb mouts automatically as does the the CD or DVD.
I notice that there is no folder opening in Media.
There is no icon present in the top panel for the floppy as the Dsik mounter but there id one to open the USB when it is present.
I have tried a new floppy drive, for the same resuts as above.
Looking in teh Installed apps I do not see autofs but I read somewhere that Fedora 10 does not sue this.
I have tried adding the Floppy to the user in teh user/group system no change.
Tried opening the permissiosn in the authoristion HAL storage mount mediainternal and external no change.
I do not know where else to look or even to start to fix the problem.
I have a F8 machine which mounts a floppy automatically. This was right from the start of the first install.
I have two other Fedora 10 machines also in which I can not mount the floppy automatically.
I am about to try an mount them manually but this not what I want.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please or is there a bug
