Looking at the description: After some debugging I fond that this was done by gpu-manager, because it incorrectly believes that my nvidia module is blacklisted. gpu- manager.log contained "Is nvidia blacklisted? yes".
More debugging determined that this was happening because I have a several years old file named: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.dpkg-old which among other things contain the line "blacklist nvidia". It looks to me like the test case would involve creating a file name blacklist.dpkg-old in /etc/modprobe.d and installing the buggy version of ubuntu-drivers-common and reviewing gpu-manager.log file for "Is nvidida blacklisted? yes". With the version of the package from -proposed you should not see that line in the gpu-manager.log file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376966 Title: gpu-manager treats all files in /etc/modprobe.d as config files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1376966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
