To summarize, reading (and writing) a floppy disk in Lucid Lynx (10.04) requires three steps:
1. Allow yourself to use the floppy by going to System-
2. Use the old version of udisks () by going to System-
3. Remember to unclick udisks whenever Update Manager wants to install new updates, or you'll get the new version and floppy disks won't work anymore!
After the old udisks is installed (and the machine is rebooted), when you insert a floppy a cute little icon comes up on the desktop and in Nautilus (and on Disk Mounter if you have that installed). Left clicking on the icon and select Mount Floppy Disk will put an icon in Nautilus, and then you read, write, and format the floppy just like any other drive.
On the force version there is.
1.0.1-1ubuntu1 (lucid-updates)
1.0.1-1build1 (lucid) I click on this one
There seems to be another problem my drive just does not work right, I have even replaced the ribbon and drive and no change.
Here is my file:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,
