I need to wipe some floppies before disposal.   I have a usb LS-120 drive

 Or maybe I just need some extra packages installed?  Can anyone help me
get this working again?

One thing you could try is to put a disk in before plugging in the drive. From the output, I don't think the drive is being seen as a removable media device.
