Description Marco Pallotta 2006-07-19 11:28:45 UTC

I have seen many bugs with the mount of floppy under KDE/GNOME and I think mine is the same error but another scenario.
In fact I have installed suse 10.1 without doing an upgrade, and then I have a laptop with an external usb floppy drive.
When I plug it in I see correctly the external floppy icon under "My Computer" but when I try to access it I see the error: Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist
I'll post the errors in my .xsession-errors in attach.
If I try to mount the floppy manually everything runs ok.
