could you open a command line, run "gnome-mount -v -b -d /dev/fd0" and attach the log to the bug?

I mount my floppy drive successfully with this command.

Could you please open a terminal and give this command:
sudo apport-collect -p linux 481184

This retrieve useful information about your system.
Thank you.
