Comment 280 for bug 441835

Ubuntu 10.10 new installation
disquette display a messg: "could not be mounted, no support in the unit", no way I can enter it with genome.

I can copy and erase files in the disquette using the terminal.

NAUTILUS
I can copy and erase files using sudo nautilus, but I have to click in the carpet named floppy in the right window of nautilus.
openning /media and using the carpet floppy (under TYPE there is a label: "link to the carpet")

In the window at the left, there is display of places:
root
Desk
File system
Network
cdrom0
floppy0
wastebasket

Clicking in floppy0 gives: "could not be mounted, no support in the unit"

WEIRD

findings:
/media: floppy (clear blue) and floppy0 (dark blue)
/dev: fd0
lsmod shows: floppy 54311 0

So, I think it may be a problem of symbolic links pointing to the wrong targets.

I do not have any idea how to change that.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks
