Re: SOLVED Lost floppy in upgrade to 11.04

Hi all, I have the same problem and I have changed the to /dev/fd0u1440 in fastab and restarted. But the floppy is not in the dolphin side bar. And I have to mount it manually from terminal.

We never found out why this was the case.
I have the same problem and I have changed the floppy to /dev/fd0u1440 and I am unable to mount.

I have a reproduceable error when I try to mount everytime, my screen turns black and a matrix like effect occurs.

I have a graphics card that had hardware acceleration support in 10.10 and lower but since then it dosen't have that support.

I guess I have to fix this problem before I can resolve the floppy drive problem.

It has been some time since I tried it, but several versions ago, it was only necessary to

sudo modprobe floppy

to enable the diskette drive.

So this would mean, since 1440 is very similar to 1.44 mb for a double sided high density 3.5" floppy that in the "newest" kernels/whatever one has to designate the SIZE of the floppy, or floppy drive, in question in order to mount same?

just a question
