I had the same problem on Compaq Evo Laptop (has no floppy and no option to disable)
I've got it working now so if you have the floppy issue do the following: - comment out (put # in front) the floppy line in /etc/fstab - blacklist the floppy module > add a line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: blacklist floppy - now this update needs to be applied to the initram filesystem, otherwise the module is still getting loaded, so run: sudo update-initramfs -u - reboot and enjoy -- Attempts to mount floppy despite no media present - disable automount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
