| kimus | hi, I need some help building a module | 14:52 |
| kimus | compiled a rtl8187 module but it does not load on the kernel. I think the problem is a version missmatch | 14:52 |
| kimus | I tried linux-source package and build module source with make -c /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build modules and does not load either | 14:54 |

| kimus | can anyone help me compiling a single module? I can compile the module but gives an error on insmod | 18:51 |
| Shanix_ | kimus, what error ? | 19:34 |
| Shanix_ | kimus, you should go to #ubuntu | 19:34 |
| kimus | Shanix_: should go to #ubuntu ?!?! | 20:07 |
| kimus | isn't this the right channel to ask for help on kernel / module building? | 20:08 |
| CarlFK | kimus: /topic "kernel development " | 20:09 |
| kimus | sorry, for me kernel development is module related | 20:10 |
| CarlFK | no problem. | 20:12 |
| kimus | couldn't anyone help? it's kernel related... please :-) | 20:32 |
| kimus | #ubuntu is full of people asking stuff | 20:33 |
| alex_joni | kimus: if you expect any help, then at least put the error in a pastebin somewhere | 20:33 |
| kimus | errors i'm getting > "insmod: error inserting 'rtl8187.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module", and dmesg gives more > "rtl8187: Unknown symbol | 20:34 |
| kimus | so I'm guessing that source != from current kernel | 20:34 |
| kimus | alex_joni: any hint? | 20:36 |
| alex_joni | kimus: if you expect any help, then at least put the _whole_ error in a pastebin somewhere, including parts from dmesg which are relevant | 20:37 |
| kimus | humm... paste wrong here :-) | 20:38 |
| kimus | I will put in a pastebin | 20:38 |
| kimus | alex_joni: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69742/ | 20:42 |
| alex_joni | try modprobe | 20:47 |
| kimus | modprobe? how can I modprobe from the module I just compiled? | 20:49 |
| johanbr | Put it in the subdirectory of /lib/modules/ that goes with your kernel, run "sudo depmod -a" and then modprobe. | 20:52 |
| kimus | humm that worked | 20:54 |
| kimus | insmod should work :-S | 20:54 |
| johanbr | insmod does not take module dependencies into account | 20:56 |
| kimus | stupid error... ok thank you. i had to build this module because it lacks an device id | 20:57 |
| alex_joni | kimus: lsmod | grep for your module, look at the deps | 20:57 |
| alex_joni | then you can load them by hand, and use insmod | 20:57 |
| alex_joni | but modprobe is usually easier | 20:58 |
| kimus | oh... was only that? I had to modprobe for the deps before insmod ? | 20:58 |
| CarlFK | kimus: or load the deps | 21:03 |
| alex_joni | kimus: either you use modprobe (and it pulls in the deps), or you install the modules by hand, then you can use insmod with the new module | 21:03 |
| kimus | i get it... next time :-) | 21:03 |
| kimus | you should update wubuntu wiki, there's no info on building a single module | 21:04 |
| alex_joni | if it's a wiki page you read, then you can improve it yourself | 21:04 |
| alex_joni | that's the whole point of the wiki, for people to give back to ubuntu (in a simple way) | 21:05 |
| kimus | sure... I can put there how to build and the insmod error :-D | 21:05 |
| alex_joni | kimus: make sure the missing device id is fixed upstream or in a later kernel version | 21:06 |
| kimus | is fixed on upstream | 21:06 |
| CarlFK | alex_joni: as long as you are .. here... :) Do you have an x64 that you don't mind panicing? I was asked if a bug crashed it too, and am getting anoyed trying to setup a VM to try it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/294951 | 21:06 |
| kimus | http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11728 | 21:07 |
| alex_joni | CarlFK: you might mistaken me for a kernel dev :) | 21:07 |
| alex_joni | no x64 install atm, nly i386 hardy | 21:07 |
| CarlFK | rats. | 21:07 |
| CarlFK | back to qemu... | 21:08 |
| alex_joni | CarlFK: sorry :/ | 21:08 |
| CarlFK | wana pannic your i386? :) | 21:08 |
| * alex_joni should note he's not running -generic | 21:08 | |
| alex_joni | but yeah, if it helps.. | 21:08 |
| CarlFK | I doubt there is anything to gain... so probably not much point | 21:08 |
| CarlFK | na | 21:08 |
| alex_joni | I panic and oops it all the time, so it's used :P | 21:09 |
| alex_joni | all the time might be an exageration though :D | 21:09 |
| kimus | ok thanx | 21:35 |
| kimus | bye | 21:36 |
