I want to disable the internal webcam of my laptop running Ubuntu 13.10? As suggested here, I already disabled the concerning kernel modules by blacklisting them. But after reboot the modules are loaded nevertheless. What can I do to get rid of these modules?
My module blacklist lies in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-webcam.conf
and looks like this:
blacklist videodev
blacklist videobuf2_core
blacklist videobuf2_memops
blacklist videobuf2_vmalloc
blacklist uvcvideo
But lsmod
gives me (after reboot):
Module Size Used by
uvcvideo 80885 0
videobuf2_vmalloc 13216 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_memops 13362 1 videobuf2_vmalloc
videobuf2_core 40499 1 uvcvideo
videodev 133509 2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core
Edit:
When I do a sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo
the modules are gone. So I could write a script to do that. But I would not consider that as a clean solution ;-)
