I have been using Kubuntu 6.06.1 since it came out. Today a friend came by and asked to read a floppy that he had. I inserted the floppy but then nothing. I suddenly realised that I had never attempted to use the floppy drive since I installed Kubuntu.
There was no icon on the desktop, no listing on "system". Nothing.
(while messing around I managed to put a floppy icon on the desk top which , when clicked. shows:
"The desktop entry file
/home/jan/Desktop/Floppy Device
is of type FSDevice but has no Dev=... entry."
(I am now unable to remove this icon!)
I have searched for "floppy" and found one relevant entry but I seem unable to access "/etc/fstab"
I assume I have at some point messed up my installation; and would like to know how to reinstall the floppy drive. (without reinstalling the OS)
thanks
