write to floppy under ubuntu 15.04

  • 772

I cant write to floppy-disk! Reading is ok.. But write does not do .. you are not the owner Owner is root.

I am new with Linux/ubuntu So please some detailed info what i should do. Thanks in advance

Thanks for all lines to try.. but no one did work(OWNER REMAIND ROOT) found an solution occasional (just trying some lines from other questions containing the word floppy) 1. put in floppy disk 2. in a terminal do the following line: udisks --mount /dev/fd0 (ubuntu had to install udisks-- but did it without great noise) after that-- i am the owner of the disk!! write and read works!! only fromat returns after some scratching on the disk with an time out error. to change floppy:: 1. unmount... udisks --unmount /dev/fd0 2. put in new floppy 3. mount... udisks --mount /dev/fd0

  1. Type 

    sudo chmod -R 777 (location of your floppy disk mount point)

    This makes you the owner.
