To those of you who are concerned with this message '/etc/modprobe.d is
not a file', note that this message does not reflect an error. It is
simply a wrongly placed and mis-worded message in function
"is_module_blacklisted" in gpu-manager.c However, this does not address
the situation of incorrectly loaded/unloaded modules for video card
changes, which I am scanning the code for. (I am not a developer...)
The line containing this message should be deleted, AND the following
line added immediately after the ' if (dry_run) {' line in the same
function :
fprintf(stderr, "In dry_run mode(test), therefore we are not
using %s directory \n", modprobe_d_path);
The resulting function code should be as follows :
static bool is_module_blacklisted(const char* module) {
_cleanup_free_ char *match = NULL;
char command[100];
/* It will be a file if it's a test */
if (dry_run) {
fprintf(stderr, "In dry_run mode(test), therefore we are not
using %s directory \n", modprobe_d_path);
snprintf(command, sizeof(command),
"grep -G \"blacklist.*%s[[:space:]]*$\" %s",
module, modprobe_d_path);
if (exists_not_empty(modprobe_d_path))
match = get_output(command, NULL, NULL);
}
else {
# fprintf(stderr, "%s is not a file\n", modprobe_d_path);
snprintf(command, sizeof(command),
"grep -G \"^blacklist.*%s[[:space:]]*$\" %s/*.conf",
module, modprobe_d_path);
match = get_output(command, NULL, NULL);
}
if (!match)
return false;
return true;
}
