Elive

Please, try with a new version of Elive and let us know if the problem persists.
Thanks for submitting bugs!

Thanks for support, but I can’t furthermore find the content of the floppy. I have updated Elive, but maybe not installed the necessary programs.

Hello Stephan,

• Please, could you tell me the steps in order to understand how are you mounting the floppy?

• Could you paste the “dmesg” output here?

thanks in advance for your time,

- Félix

Hello Felix,

I like to have the same way, like mounting a CD. I like to put a floppy in the drive and a second later I find the content in Thunar. It should be an automount process.

Manual mounting with “mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /home/Stephan/Test” is possible, but only write protected.

Below the dmesg output:

• In your first post you said that you don’t have “/dev/fd0”, but in your last comment you wrote the “mount” command using the /dev/fd0. Could you tell me if you see something writting this:

ls -al /dev/fd0

• I know that it’s te “mount” default, but could you try again with the “-w” parameter?

mount -w -t vfat /dev/fd0 /home/Stephan/Test

thanks in advance for your time and your comments,

- Felix

My first post was with Elive Revolution. In the meantime I have completely new installed Elive Gem and updated last time 4 days ago. Maybe that’s the reason of the difference.

The output of ls -al /dev/fd0 is:

brw-rw—- 1 root floppy 2, 0 2007-08-24 08:58 /dev/fd0

I think, the manual mount is running, but not the automount of floppies.

Thanks and bye

• Unfortunately I don’t have computers with floppy disk. Then I couldn’t test it and give you a solution.

• Just to be sure. How did you install Elive in your computer? (Automatic, Manual or Expert). Because on the installation there is a question about automounting and maybe there’s something misconfigured and we have to check specially that.

• We’ll take care of your request. I’m assigning the issue to the main Elive Developer.

run lshal -m -l on a terminal, insert the a floppy disk and if you see any changes on the terminal, it can be supported by the automounter system, then, paste here all the result obtained from the floppy insertion since the line:

Start monitoring devicelist:

Do you know other Linux distro that supports floppy’ automounted ?

I have installed it automatically.

lshal -m -l has no output. This I have checked with the installed system, with Knoppix 5.2 and Ubuntu 6.10. But Konqeurer in Knoppix and the Gnome file manager in Ubuntu have an icon “floppy”. If I click this, the floppy will be mounted. This would be also enough. According Thunar homepage (http://thunar.xfce.org/documentation/C/using-removable-media.html), it should also here available.
