And after that... your nvidia or fglrx module probably won't load anymore (because it may be loading the nouveau or radeon first/instead)... So, you may have to add a 'blacklist bla' for each module for which you commented out the 'alias bla off' (bla is probably one or more of these: nouveau, lbm-nouveau, radeon, lbm-radeon) ... Just do the egrep command above again to find which files.
And, then you may still not have a nvidia/fglrx because the dkms modules may need to be rebuilt (they did for me), for which I use this command as root: dkms status | sed s/,//g | awk '{print "-m",$1,"-v",$2}' | while read line; do ls /var/lib/initramfs-tools | xargs -n 1 dkms install $line -k; done Then maybe another 'sudo update-initramfs -u' for good measure, and things should be good going forward without the error message of this bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073062 Title: modprobe: Assertion `kmod_module_get_initstate(m) == KMOD_MODULE_BUILTIN' failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1073062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
