Hi, follow the instructions in this post.

[sticeXXD]

ok tried to no effect, i probably put them in the wrong place in gedit or some such but its still not working at all.

[cortman]

Well, we can check that. Please post output of

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Also, did you reboot after running those commands?

Don't know that it will make any difference at all but you should copy the block you added into the end of the file- make it look like this:

# This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.

blacklist evbug
