Description Michal Marek 2009-03-17 10:49:05 UTC

New module-init-tools requires files below /etc/modprobe.d to have a .conf suffix (files without the suffix are still read, but cause a warning). Additionally, to ensure proper ordering of configuration files, packages should install/create files with a "50-" prefix by default. For details, see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-03/msg00113.html .

BTW, same applies to /etc/modprobe.d/tv and /etc/modprobe.d/newid.

Comment 2 Michal Marek 2009-03-17 11:58:43 UTC

/usr/share/YaST2/include/sound/read_routines.ycp reads /etc/modprobe.conf in some cases. This file was renamed to /etc/modprobe.d/00-system.conf, but this file is unlikely to contain any sound configuration, local config should be set in /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf. You could e.g. read output of '/sbin/modprobe --showconfig' or 'cat /etc/modprobe.d/*'.

Comment 3 Ladislav Slezák 2009-03-17 12:20:56 UTC

/etc/modprobe.conf is read when /etc/modprobe.d/sound does not exist - this is for backward compatibility, but it's obsoleted now and can be removed.

Comment 4 Ladislav Slezák 2009-03-25 14:10:45 UTC

Takashi, I'm thinking which package should rename /etc/modprobe.d/sound to the new schema.

The config file is written by yast2-sound, but if someone removes yast2-sound and updates the system the config will not be renamed.

The config file is read also by alsasound init script - what do you think about renaming the config in alsa postinstall script?

Fixed in yast2-sound-2.18.1.
