To rectify, don't forget to put a space before *and* after the keyword 'pre:'
You can test the workaround in this way (adapt with your modules names): Checks that the modules are loaded: root@ubuntu ~ # lsmod | grep '^it87\|^k10temp\|^fam15h_power' | cut -f1 -d' ' fam15h_power k10temp it87 Removes all modules: root@ubuntu ~ # modprobe -r it87 k10temp fam15h_power Checks that all modules are unloaded: root@ubuntu ~ # lsmod | grep '^it87\|^k10temp\|^fam15h_power' | cut -f1 -d' ' [nothing] Load the module to be loaded first: root@ubuntu ~ # modprobe it87 Checks that it is alone: root@ubuntu ~ # lsmod | grep '^it87\|^k10temp\|^fam15h_power' | cut -f1 -d' ' it87 Remove this module: root@ubuntu ~ # modprobe -r it87 Checks that all modules are unloaded: root@ubuntu ~ # lsmod | grep '^it87\|^k10temp\|^fam15h_power' | cut -f1 -d' ' [nothing] Load the module to be loaded last: root@ubuntu ~ # modprobe fam15h_power Checks that all the other modules are loaded: root@ubuntu ~ # lsmod | grep '^it87\|^k10temp\|^fam15h_power' | cut -f1 -d' ' fam15h_power k10temp it87 You can adapt this workaround to your computer, this is better than "blacklisting a module to load it succesfully", otherwise in a few years when you read your code you do not understand what it will mean. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576602 Title: Fancontrol relies on the module load order To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lm-sensors-3/+bug/576602/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
