Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) Final Beta released

Re:Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) Final Beta released by butchlugrod on Friday March 28, 2014 @09:11AM (#7486947)

Just installed it into a VM. No issues, very slick. The UI scaling stuff is a neat addition. Haven't tried the Server edition yet, but I imagine I'll start deploying that in six months or so. Precise Pangolin has been my bread and butter for servers.

But why does it still have a "Floppy Disk" icon in the launcher? This is 2014 right? I feel like that is even more absurd than using a floppy disk icon for save buttons in documents. My desktops and laptops don't even have optical drives anymore, much less floppies.

Because the BIOS of the VM reports a Floppy Disk even if you add no Floppy Disk to the list of hardware installed.

That's a bug for the VM BIOS, and a feature for Ubuntu.

You can disable it if you want: http://imgur.com/anGmzpj

Where's the "Floppy Disk" icon on the launcher? I'm not seeing it. What's it for?
