update-initramfs Error on /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf creation

[jhuang0]

I'm trying to enable transcoding by using this sequence of commands:

echo “options i915 enable_guc=2” >> /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf update-initramfs -u -k all

After running the last command, I get a ton of these errors:
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:657 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with '“options'

Can someone tell me what this error means and how to resolve it?

It looks like you did not type double quotes (") but copied some characters that look like that from somewhere. Those are invalid in the configuration file and need to be removed. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf with your favorite editor (or nano) and remove the characters that look like double quotes.

That was it. Can't believe I didn't catch that myself. Thanks!
