It seems to have to do with the Intel side of things. Something not getting done right because of it being 6th or 7th generation. It all pretty much goes to hell in a handbasket when you turn on Intel mode to try to save power. A switch from the command line (Once you go into recovery and exit...) puts it right. Seriously guys. Two plus years on this bug. It's telling that either you're incompetent, or you've got major, major design flaws in the system as a whole and in EITHER case you need to rework things. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369216 Title: gpu-manager: /etc/modprobe.d is not a file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1369216/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1369216] Re: gpu-manager: /etc/modprobe.d is not a file
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);
}

return false;

[Bug 1369216] Re: gpu-manager: /etc/modprobe.d is not a file
I was able to resolve this issue by removing intel grahics installer. Here are the steps I followed: 1) In additional drivers, select nouveau as default driver. 2) Purge nvidia using following command: sudo apt-get purge nvidia* 3) Completely remove intel graphics installer and files instaleld by it using following guide: http://theclonker.de/?p=89 replace quantal with trusty. 4) When you purge intel driver i915*, on next reboot an older version might get activated so remove it as well. Simply install synaptic and search i915 and uninstall if any old version is activated. Restart after that. 5) Enable nvidia driver again in additional drivers. It should work fine! Now I am using xorg edgers repository and have installed nvidia 340.58 driver. It performs much better than nvidia 331 so I will highly recommend it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369216 Title: gpu-manager: /etc/modprobe.d is not a file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1369216/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
