What's the problem?

For some, when opening the PCLOS Control Panel, an error or alert window will open , searching for fd0.

While this can be annoying, it is a harmless issue.

However, until one of the Server team actually makes a permanent fix, there is a simple workaround to eliminate it


How to fix it

Using your preferred editor ( I prefer nano ) as root or SU:

  1. Open /etc/modprobe.preload
  2. At the bottom of the very short list, add "floppy"
  3. Save and Close

Afterwards, the fd0 window should not appear anymore.
