in either KDE or Gnome the floppy icon will not correctly mount the ls120. "If you use a regular floppy drive : Gnome: double clicking on the Floppy icon you get "/dev/fd0: Input/Output error" warning box, but the drive is mounted buy you don't get file manager window. KDE: clicking on the floppy ifon you get "The desktop entry file /root/Desktop/Floppy Device is of type FSDevice but has no Dev=...entry", and the drive is not mounted." <I will report this error in a different bug# but I put it here as an info.> gnome and kde floppy icons points to /dev/fd0 so it does not work. However, if you mount the drive to /mnt/floppy first, the icons will work, but if you mount it elsewhere it will not. there is no entry in /etc/fstab regarding the hdc /dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 and here is the df -h output after mounting using "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/ls120" Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 2.9G 2.1G 750M 74% / /dev/hda1 23M 2.4M 19M 11% /boot /dev/hda7 2.5G 20k 2.3G 1% /home /dev/hdc 1.4M 1020k 403k 72% /mnt/ls120
This seems to be working better in RC2 with GNOME. The ls120 is being added to the /etc/fstab and in GNOME there is a 'Device 0' icon showing on the desktop that mounts the drive & makes it accessible. However KDE still fails. There is only a floppy & a cdrom icon showing up on the desktop, neither of which work when there is an ls120 in the bay. Should this be moved over as a KDE issue?
This should be fixed in 7.0. Don't have the hardware to verify it though.
