If you do not have a BIOS option for this, you can try this: echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-floppy.conf sudo update-initramfs -u
does that help after a reboot? It'd still help if someone who is affected could provide me access to the box, via ssh or empathy remote desktop (pi...@jabber.org). -- 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
