Why isn't /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common set as a configuration file which shouldn't be overwritten when a user changed it, while /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video does have user changes maintained ?
The way I see it is that you either do not allow user changes to both or to none. This is regardless of the specific use case of installing external drivers. I'm not sure what envyng is but it would probably won't allow me to install any odd driver I want, hence it doesn't impact this bug. Please reopen this ticket and either fix it by allowing user modifications to files in /etc/default (which are /etc hence are configuration files, hence are meant to be modified) or disallow modifications in all relevant files. -- updates of linux-restricted-modules-common clobber /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150038 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
