Can not blacklist kernel modules in Ubuntu 15.10

  • 772

I installed Ubuntu 15.10. My touchpad works in I2C bus AND PS2 mode.

I want to blacklist the I2C mode. On Ubuntu 14.04/15.04 I executed :

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

I added the following line at the end :

blacklist i2c_hid

But this does not work on Ubuntu 15.10 anymore.

Blacklisting other modules (like psmouse for example) does not work either. Am I missing something ?

Is the process of blacklisting kernel modules in Ubuntu 15.10 (kernel 4.2) different now ?

    This module must be in initramfs. To get it blacklisted run:

    sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
