Bug#561746: [gvfs] unable to mount floppy

[Wendy Elmer]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.4.1-2
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Floppy disk drives fail to mount for all gvfs versions after 1.4.1-2.
They give the error "Unable to mount location  No medium in the drive".

I have downgraded gvfs, gvfs-backends, gvfs-bin to 1.4.1-2 in order to 
have the mounting of floppys working.  versions 1.4.1-5 through 1.4.3-1 all
fail to mount the floppy.

I am trying to mount from the computer icon and from places floppy drive.

gvfs-mount -d /dev/fd0 as root will mount the floppy drive in the later versions.

There is a Ubuntu bug 441835 for the same problem.
