Can't access to floppy disk

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Binary package hint: gvfs

I can't access to a floppy disk using Nautilus in my updated Hardy.

The floppy disk drive appears in Places menu, and in the Computer folder. I insert a floppy disk into the drive, and when I double-click on the floppy drive icon, nothing happens.

These are the /dev/fd0 permissions, and the groups which I belong to:

ricardo@kadath:~$ ls -l /dev/fd0
0 brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 2008-02-24 23:16 /dev/fd0

Updated info:

When I click on Places->Floppy, I get the following message:

Cannot invoke CheckForMedia on HAL: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "CheckForMedia" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.Removable" doesn't exist

This is the screenshot of the error message. The dialog box says:

Unable to scan Floppy Drive for media changes

Hi Ricardo
do you still experience this with today's updates?

Thanks.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

Great. Is this bug a duplicate of another one? If so, which one? Thanks.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

look to the open nautilus bugs there is one about clicking on non mounted devices not working correctly

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

Sorry, Seb, I can't find that bugreport... I only found the bug #192111, which I marked as a duplicate of this one...
