Rather than blacklist the driver in Linux, you should disable the floppy in the BIOS. Most BIOS factory default assumes there is a 1.44MB floppy, so you have to change the configuration to no floppy. ** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug

OK. No need to strace. I did the same trick as john Buczek. My system is working now. I did have a floppy appearing in fact on the left column of Nautilus. The following Command Lines made it disappear instantly. I went to unix.stackexchange.com to get a solution : "Linux, disable /dev/fd0 (flopp

I can confirm today that it's not directly linked to VMware Workstation ... However I had an image restored from before this bug appeared and I was just free of this bug until a few days ago when I installed QEMU and today KVM. I suspect that QEMU did bring back the issue ... I know that Oracle Vi

Even though I could not find any reference to fd0 in the usual tools, out of desperation I tried the "blacklist fd0" cure as recommended elsewhere. The problem has vanished. I'm assuming this is some obscure bug in the Gigabyte BIOS. Thanks John -- You received this bug notification because y

John and Antonio19, When this problem occurs, is there at least one disk device that does not contain a valid partition table? You can check using the "sudo fdisk -l" command. I am curioius because this might be related to a gparted upstream bug report: Bug 697518 - gparted scans forever blank

I'm also seeing gparted (V0.12.1) spend 20+ min. Either there are two very similar problems or this is not directly related to VM ware. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64 Also VBox 4.2.0 r80737 but I have no direct evidence that's related. I first noticed the problem after the most recent kernal up

Thank you for your feedback. I was able to reproduce the bug today. It is not linked to any floppy device at all since I have used the same hardware for one year and that was working properly. In fact this bug is appearing right during and after the installation of VMware Workstation 9.0.2 for Lin
