By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Image of dialog from floppy mount failure

I am able to mount a floppy disk in 3.5.13.2 but not in R14. My 3.5.13.2 system is HAL based. The 3.5.13.2 and R14 systems I tested are on the same computer, using the same floppy drive.

Floppy mounting worked at one time in R14 because I helped test much of the original tdehwlib code when first introduced.

In R14 I can mount the floppy from the command line.

See the attached image of the resulting dialog. I logged into Trinity as root and received the same dialog.

There are no floppy references in my fstab.

I mount the floppy using a desktop device icon. I "right-click" on the desktop icon and from the popup menu select Mount. I use the same method in my 3.5.13.2 system.

Monitoring my xsession-error log shows the following when attempting to mount:

[systemdirnotify] SystemDirNotify::init(mInited)
[systemdirnotify] SystemDirNotify::toSystemURL(media:/fd0)
[systemdirnotify] SystemDirNotify::init(mInited)
[systemdirnotify] SystemDirNotify::toSystemURLList(system:/media/fd0)

Update: I can mount a floppy in R14 on a HAL system. I tested with R14 in Slackware 13.1.

tdelibs : Fix mount media without known filesystem

I found that for the floppy is not detected file system. For mount command was subsequently used options for filesystem, but filesystem was not specified.

At the same time I also modified the reading error output. Now is not used only the first line, but the entire output.

Please test it.
Comment 3 Darrell 2013-12-10 15:56:52 CST 
Yay! The patch works for me. Although the patch did not affect HAL systems, I verified that floppy mounting still worked with R14 on a HAL system. No problems there. Another "paper cut" gone. :-)

Fixed in GIT hash ef6c5d6f.
