Can't figure out how to load v4l2loopback module with options at startup
by TheJooomes from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CDFK)
I'm using Fedora 33 Workstation.
According to the readme on the v4l2loopback github, this can be done by making the file "/etc/modules-load.d/v4l2loopback.conf" and making it contain "options v4l2loopback video_nr=2". That didn't work, the module simply didn't start. Manually starting it with "modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=2" works just fine. As per the arch wiki, I put "v4l2loopback.video_nr=2" on the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" line, right along side "rhgb quiet". I then updated grub, and it still won't start the module automatically.
/etc/modules-load.d/v4l2loopback.conf:
Code:options 4l2loopback video_nr=2/etc/default/grub:
Code:RUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet v4l2loopback.video_nr=2"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=trueCould someone please help me get this module to start automatically at boot with the option video_nr=2 set?
