We disable restricted-manager in the live session anyway, so it should be fine to simply disable lrm-manager entirely. > Btw, why this bug isn't assigned to linux-restricted-modules-common ? Because there are two slightly different issues here: 1. casper wants to reduce the memory needed for the live session, and can do so by disabling the video modules unconditionally (since they're difficult to enable in that environment anyway) 2. It would be nice if linux-restricted-modules-common would dynamically generate only the appropriate modules -- - mdz -- Excessive memory usage on live CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
