So I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 and now I see Floppy in my Home Folder tree how do I remove it?

what I did since Ubuntu 12.04 is:

  • Edit /etc/fstab to remove reference to floppy.

  • Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add this line at the end: blacklist floppy

  • Run: sudo update-initramfs -u

  • Run: sudo update-grub

  • Restarted the system.

I checked /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist it contains blacklist floppy like it was before the upgrade but now I can see floppy in my Home Folder tree. Is there something else I need to change in 14.04?

Problem solved! Found the solution on Ubuntu 14.04 in terminal run:

  1. echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-floppy.conf

  2. sudo rmmod floppy

  3. sudo update-initramfs -u

works right away.
