Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.0-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a floppy into a floppy drive (I used a FAT formatted floppy). 2. Right-click on the background, then pick Drives->Floppy (or whichever corresponds to your floppy drive). 3. Left-click on the menu choice to select. 4. Watch for an error, then pick the "Details" button. Actual Results: I get the error "/dev/fd0: Invalid argument" error. Expected Results: I should get no error. Additional info: When I mount the floppy on the command line as root with: # mount -v /mnt/floppy mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/fd0 I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems Trying vfat mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/fd0 I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems Trying vfat /dev/fd0 on /mnt/floppy type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev) I'm using mount-2.11y-29.
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.
Closing per lack of response to prior request. Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. Please install a still supported version and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version.
