My Notes: I have found this PR which adds -n argument to modinfo command, but after running cat /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/optimus_manager/checks.py | grep "modinfo" the output is:

f"modinfo {module_name}",

Hi @music-cat-bread .

If you look at the PR referenced here, it is tagged 1.5 so, 1.4-4 will not have this enabled.

Since no other major version was released after 1.5 and the project is getting back on it's tracks last month, we suggest you to migrate to optimus-manager-git and test it again.

Use the -git package because a lot of PRs got also merged recently.
