Comments on: New Zipdisk mount error dialog http://cogscanthink.blogsome.com/2005/09/27/29/ I'm a mere, tiny, insignificant cog in a whole clockwork of stupidity. I'm the tiny cog that wants to break free. Seriously.

Completely missing text doesn't look like a design error something else must have gone wrong. If you can get it fixed chances are the dialog will be using the same old text you didn't like before. Still sucks though. You seem certain Gnome is to blame for the problem rather than it being in any way related to how Ubuntu handles drive mounting.

Bugzilla is the place for this.

GNOME HIG clearly states that Error Dialogs should not have a title. gtk's MessageDialog add a title though by default and the whole mess continues Tom, better hate than love the current America.

Zip drives are supposed to be fully supported by the Linux kernel, but as you guessed, they rarely, if ever, work out-of-the-box. It takes quite some cli action to get them to work. Leaving the external ones (got 4 of those too) out of the story here... They are even harder to get working... If they even can.

However, I can definitely understand where he's coming from--from the entry it would appear that zip disk support isn't even tested at this point. Thom, do you know if they're actually working on fixing this stuff?

Your still using that zip drive? c’mon, move into the 20th century with the rest of us :-)

This is why it's called a 'personal blog'. If you only want to see a single side of Thom's being and personality, that would be unfair to him. However, you are free to skip/ignore headlines that don't represent you. Everyone is free to write whatever they want in their blog, Tom. This is why it’s called a ‘personal blog’.
