Blacklisted modules without hotplug

Asked by Ricardo Pérez López

Now in Dapper there's no hotplug. Earlier, I used /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ directory to force not to load several modules, but now that method doesn't works.

What can I use now to get the same feature?

echo 'blacklist broken_module_name_here' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist

(The name my_blacklist is arbitrary, just don't use 'blacklist' or any
existing file so your changes won't be lost on upgrade)

Ok, thank you very much!

By the way: I see there's a file called lm-sensors into /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/. Doing

ricardo@yuggoth $ dpkg -S /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/lm-sensors

lm-sensors: /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/lm-sensors

May I report a bug against lm-sensors package for using the (now obsolete) hotplug?

Some of tht link to the left (edit request etc...) should help. If you
can't find it: just leave it open. I should file a bug about this
against launchpad :)

Sorry to post you again, but the solution proposed doesn't works for me.

My intention is to disable pc speaker. I've created the
file /etc/modprobe.d/pcspkr with the following content:

blacklist pcspkr

That's all. But after startup I can see the module is loaded.

Maybe I did something wrong?

Thanks a lot.

P.S.: I tried to post it in the ticket, but I got an error message
("Constraint not satisfied") :/
