How to completely disable floppy in Ubuntu 14.04?

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?

Solution 1:

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.
