The module Disk and Filesystems could not be loaded error msg

[Aeb1barfo]

Fails in both Dapper Dan and Edgy Eft. I tried both CD based distros of each. Failure is repeatable. System worked under W2000AS with no problems. Logging in as Administrator does not help. Kformat says internal error. Konqueror says there is a floppy and floppy0 but does not read them or see the files.

Proliant 3000 dual Pentium III 500Mhz, SmartArray3200, 9.1 GB drives mirrored, 2 GB main memory, ATI Radeon. CD is seen and useable. Floppy drive is not.

[Vermithrax (shzl2qr02)]

I'm running Feisty 7.04 release, and have the same error.

[Vermithrax (shzl2qr02)]

Ooooook... I just restarted the System Settings dialog, and all is well now. Hrm.

[Melsen (amelsen)]

Im having the same problem as well now... a new feisty install (7.04) and I just did an upgrade of the recommended things through adept... and now my disk&file doesnt work anymore...

Anyone figured out how to fix this?

Recently i found the solution: You have to install the package 'python-qt-dev', then it works!

[suchys (psuchomel)]

Same error after update. I have different stack trace, installing python-qt-dev did not help:

Hi, could you please check if you have a crash dump file in /var/crash for this event?

If so you can run '/usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' to have it retraced and filed.

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

This problem was recently fixed and backported I believe. I am no longer seeing this in either Gutsy or Hardy. If you feel this is still an issue, then I urge you to reopen this report. Thanks!
