[Bug 1376966] Re: gpu-manager treats all files in /etc/modprobe.d as config files

[Brian Murray]

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.
