Floppy drive not recognized after upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 (ubuntu)

[xteejx (xteejx)]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. Can you please run the following in the terminal and attach the output files separately:
uname -a > uname-a.log
cat /proc/version_signature > proc_version_signature.log
sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log (those are 2 v's not a w)
dmesg > dmesg.log
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the very quick reply.

I copied and pasted the commands you gave me in the terminal window, but it semms nothing happens.
Am I doing something wrong? I am not an experienced Ubuntu user..

Thanks.

HI there,
If you actually directly copy+pasted the above commands into the terminal it should also have asked for a root password for the last one, nevertheless all of the files uname-a.log, proc_versions_signature.log, lspci-vvnn.log, and dmesg.log will be in your home folder. Please attach these separately using the add comment/attach section at the bottom of this bug report. Thank you :)
