[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#561737: can't mount floppy(no media in drive)

[Paul Menzel]

Dear rpnpif,


thank you for your response.

Please always reply to all to the message you receive to keep everyone
informed and the threading working. Using `reportbug` not all people
will get notified. So I just found out by chance that you had replied.

It is also strange that reportbug did not pick up the changed bug title.

This is definitely not related to this problem and you should file a
separate report for this.

Additionally that looks like just a warning you can safely ignore. But
follow up with the Linux kernel folks regarding this problem [2].

This works for me too.

Take a look at the workaround list. Editing the udev rules will give you
a way where you do not need to use the command line at all.

Also you should all subscribe to the upstream report [1] too! ;-)


Thanks,
