[SOLVED] Module r8169 not loading on boot, can load afterwards...

I am trying to get the network (r8169) to load, currently it doesn't get detected and putting it in MODULES array doesn't do anything (I don't think anything works in MODULES array for me).
Was using 2.6.39 kernel, moved to 3.0.0; same problem.
Once the computer has booted I can easily' sudo modprobe r8169 && sudo dhcpcd eth0' no problems.
Any ideas on how to get it to work? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, why on earth are they auto gen'd? I used archboot to install, you?
Okay, I'll rm them and reboot now.
I also have a /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.conf:
blacklist aty128fb
blacklist atyfb
blacklist cirrusfb
blacklist cyber2000fb
blacklist kyrofb
blacklist neofb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist pm2fb
blacklist radeonfb
blacklist rivafb
blacklist s3fb
blacklist savagefb
blacklist sisfb
blacklist sstfb
blacklist tdfxfb
blacklist tridentfb
blacklist udlfb
blacklist uvesafb
blacklist viafb
blacklist vmlfb
blacklist vt8623fb
Do I need to worry about that? I'm currently using Intel G41 915 integrated.

[SOLVED] Many modules are not loaded in the Arch USB key installation.

Hello!
I installed Arch Linux on my USB key. I did it few months ago and it worked, I had portable arch.
Yesterday I decided to make a fresh installation. Unfortunately after booting it from my USB key
most of the modules were not loaded. Because of that I couldn't start the X server and connect to
the internet (ethernet card was not detected).
Even after loading the module which corresponds to my ethernet card manually (modprobe e1000e) it was not
displayed in the lsmod list.
I though "maybe I screwed something up during the installation?". To find out I used GParted to copy
my OS partition (perfectly working Arch Linux installed on the hard drive) to the USB key. Of course I changed the UUID of the USB partition.
After booting it I was suprised because the situation did not change - modules that are loaded on my main system for some
reason were not loaded on it's exact copy placed on the USB key.
I have no idea why my portable OS is acting like this.
Commands below were executed on another PC so don't look for the e1000e module.
$ lsmod

Migrated to systemd, modules are not loading [solved]

Hi;
I got around to migrating to systemd, but now modules are not loading. I got this setup (i gave full permissions thought it would help):
$ ls /etc/modules-load.d/
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Dec 2 22:34 vbox*
$ cat /etc/modules-load.d/vbox
#vbox
vboxdrv
loop
Any methods of debugging why this doesnt work?
Thanks.

the files have to end with ".conf". And -x permissions are certainly not necessary.

Sd card module/driver not loaded anymore

Hi,
since a recent update (linux 3.16 maybe ? ) the sd card module is not loaded anymore.
I have to load it manually :
modprobe -v rtsx_usb
(or add a module load in /etc/modules-load.d/)
My guess is that the "block" hook is not finding it anymore...
Any idea why ?
# uname -a

Well, in fact it's a bit weirder...
I'm loading the rtsx_usb module at boot.
Then I plug my sd card :

Sep 05 13:51:24 azerty kernel: mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SU16G 14.8 GiB
Sep 05 13:51:24 azerty kernel: mmcblk0: p1
It's not mounting... 10 seconds later :

Sep 05 13:51:55 azerty systemd-udevd[229]: worker [3393] terminated by signal 9 (Killed)
Still not mounted obviously.
Now, I add another module :

insmod /lib/modules/3.16.1-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.ko.gz
Sep 05 13:53:38 azerty kernel: sdhci: Secure Digital Host Controller Interface driver
Sep 05 13:53:38 azerty kernel: sdhci: Copyright(c) Pierre Ossman
I remove the card and insert it again:

Gnome - Modules Do Not Load!

Hello,
Just got Arch up and going, and using GDM. Problem -- Most of Gnome's modules do not load! The menu, time, system monitor, and sound work... but BIG ones like desktop switcher, window manager, window list, and so on... do not load! These are important! Anyone else experienceing this, or can help me?
Also, how do I use pacman not in root (while logged into GDM)?

Make sure that libxres package is installed
pacman -S libxres
for your second questions, if u are asking about switching to root from user, i.e using su, your user must be within the wheel group, under root do
gpasswd -a username wheel
u can also use sudo,
pacman -S sudo
edit /etc/sudoers and either uncomment the %wheel ALL = (ALL) ALL (Your user must be member of the wheel group), or add at the end of the file, username ALL = (ALL) ALL
hope that helps

[SOLVED] network is not detected r8169 module is not loaded

Hey there,
I have problems to get my archlinux server running, it has no network.
It's a server at kimsufi so I only can chroot in the new installation.
It looks like the module 'r8169' isn't loaded at start, so it has no network.
After adding '/etc/modules-load.d/r8169.conf' with 'r8169' inside (w/o quotes) the journalctl says:
systemd-modules-load[92]: Failed to lookup alias 'r8169': Function not implemented
The installation is up-to-date, newest kernel.
I hope you have some ideas how to get that module loaded.
Greetings
edit: I tried it just now again and it worked atm. If network will work completely, I will mark this thread as solved.

I'm sorry that I opened the thread.
I had built myself a kernel with kdump and had set debug and loglevel=7 parameters.
Either one of the parameter was bad or my buildprocess was bad.
Now (with the original kernel) I don't get that error and the module is loading fine.
I have (after about a month) the server up and running.
At least I got some new experience.

Lightroom 6 Develope Module will not load files, can't see photos.

Lightroom Develop Module will not show files. I can see photos in library, film strip. I'm fully paid member of adobe cloud and registered. I've signed out and in again but this did not resolve the issue. The problem happened after moving from lightroom 5.7 to 6. All worked OK in 5.7, using canon 5D mark 2 CR2 files version 2.2. I have photoshop 2015 CC and when I go to camera raw ( version 9 ) The photos do not show here as well. Both are blue boxes with an X across the page just like in the Develop Module in Lightroom 6. Again files could be seen in ACR photoshop 2014. As am using the latest updates of lightroom and photoshop creative Cloud, not sure why I can't see files in the develop module in lightroom and in camera raw in photoshop ?
By Michael.

I'm no expert on GPUs and graphics cards, so I suggest you read this thread:
GPU notes for Lightroom CC (2015)
My impression. though, is that most people don't experience a huge speed improvement using the GPU, myself included.
But this will probably change in future versions, at the moment only certain functions in the Develop module use the GPU.
As for differences in GPU support between Photosop and LR, I assume that PS supports older and less powerful GPUs than Lightroom does.
Edit: But the bottom line is that LR doesn't support GPU acceleration with you graphics card, so leave it off.

[SOLVED] Module efivars not found but /sys/firmware/efi/efivars avail.

Hi all,
I'm installing Arch Linux on a new laptop (Dell Precision M6800) but cannot get UEFI to work.
Outside arch-chroot, when I type "modprobe efivars" I get the "Module efivars not found". Which indicates that I didn't boot using UEFI.
But, I booted using it (in my bios I selected my USB drive under the UEFI section and not the BIOS one), and more importantly, I have a fully populated /sys/firmware/efi/efivars folder with non empty files in it. So as I read on some forum, this means I booted using UEFI. So why can't I load the efivars module then? What am I missing? What can I do to debug more?
I have used the 201311 dual iso image and just dd'ed it on my USB drive, I did not follow the instructions from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … B_from_ISO because I read them afterwards, but this will be my next step if you tell me this is the reason why UEFI does not work (although I have recently installed an UEFI Arch Linux on a UX31A without doing it so I guess these instructions are outdated).
Thanks for your help,
Olivier

[SOLVED]Custom DSDT not loading - OEM battery doesn't work - Sony Vaio

EDITING ORIGINAL POST TO POST SOLUTION so I don't do a massive bump
Installed windows and ran the BIOS flasher that came with the battery. Didn't work until I changed a line in the plaintext configuration file (config.ini or something) it comes with. Changed "Capacity: 20" to "Capacity: -10". This changed the battery charge requirement from 20% to negative ten percent (any negative number will do), allowing the program to run and flash the BIOS. Didn't realize I could do that, but it fixed the problem 100%.

Hey guys,
I'm a bit of a linux noob, but I've spent many hours this week trying to fix this issue on my own and have learned a lot about making custom kernels, hardware stuff, ACPI, and ABS. However, nothing I've done has worked and I've hit a wall. For reference, I'm on a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ4000 with linux-3.0 base kernel, gnome3/gdm. The battery is made in china and doesn't list a manufacturer, just model number BPS8, 52000mAh.
[Backstory]
So I recently got an OEM battery to replace the broken original, which hasn't worked since before I installed arch (though it worked with an Arch install I did a couple years ago). When I first plugged it in, the gnome battery symbol popped up listing the battery at 0% with an exclamation icon. I unplugged from AC power and the laptop still ran, but the battery monitor just said it was at 0% and 'Estimating' remaining time. I figured this was a glitch with gnome or just because it was this battery's first cycle so I let it run down until it hard-crashed. Then I plugged back into AC and tried to turn on the computer, but it wouldn't do anything until I removed the battery.
Looking into the problem I discovered this was due to the ACPI firmware table DSDT being compiled for Windows, which has, shall we say, fewer restrictions on sanity than the Intel ASL compiler used for UNIX systems. Sure enough I extracted /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT to find that its section about the battery contained the entry 'Zero' for Battery Technology, which translates to "non-rechargeable", rather than 'One', which makes it chargeable. acpitool confirmed this; my system thought the battery was non-rechargeable and was constantly discharging it. Needless to say I've only been putting it in temporarily to test solutions since.
[/backstory]
[tl;dr] DSDT firmware contains malformed battery description, now I can't get my system to run with a custom DSDT. [/tl;dr]
Attempted solutions:
[1]
Extract, modify, recompile DSDT and include it with the kernel compilation .config options
CONIFG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE="/usr/src/custom_dsdt.hex
CONIFG_STANDALONE=n
as suggested here, a page linked to by the arch wiki page on DSDT.
I followed the instructions but no matter what this has generated errors during the kernel compilation, sometimes due to every line containing unexpected \231 (or other numbers) characters, sometimes finding some error in the DSDT file and then claiming that the driver it was compiling (ol.c somewhere in the drivers/acpi section I believe) had references to undefined functions all over the place. I CANNOT compile with a custom DSDT specified.
[2]
Place recompiled DSDT in /lib/initcpio/custom.dsdt and add 'dsdt' to the HOOKS in mkinitcpio (and rebuild the initramfs-linux-*.img, of course). Another version of this included recompiling the kernel with CONFIG_STANDALONE disabled.
In neither of these situations has the running DSDT ever been anything but the BIOS-supplied one and not once has the battery shown any different behavior.
acpitool and $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info have consistently claimed the information specified in the BIOS-supplied DSDT; the battery is non-rechargeable and is discharging at an unknown rate. Sometimes acpi will even report that the battery has zero capacity.
The arch wiki does say mkinitcpio doesn't support the dsdt hook as of 2.6.30, but [1] didn't work either and mkinitcpio -H dsdt still told me to try this so I did.
[3]
The final solution I have tried has been to do [2] but to recompile the kernel with the legacy support for battery and ac adapter stuff disabled. I tried this because it was suggested in the kernel.log;
Sep 13 11:51:03 localhost kernel: [ 11.740059] ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for AC is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared
Sep 13 11:51:03 localhost kernel: [ 11.753434] ACPI: AC Adapter [ADP1] (on-line)
The corresponding line now reads
ACPI: AC Adapter [ADP1] (on-line)
(The same goes for the battery BAT0)
but all this does is remove the battery/ and adp1/ folders from /proc/acpi/ and break acpitool functionality. The log still doesn't mention the dsdt hook, either.
[4]
The old way to do this was to use the acpi-dsdt-initrd-patch-* patch, but that hasn't been updated for modern kernels, presumably because of the new "functionality" from mkiniticpio. The current kernel .config doesn't include any options for ACPI initrd/initramfs support or reading a DSDT from initramfs, which is the functionality provided by this patch.
This covers all the methods I've been able to find on the internet and I'm at a loss for what to do. Am I doing something wrong in [1]? Under what conditions will the compiler fail/succeed with a CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE?
When I recompile I fix the 'Zero' definition and a couple compiler errors and warnings. The errors come from section length definitions, which read as 0x00000000 rather than the appropriate max-min value so I fix those, and the warnings come from _T_* methods belonging to the compiler, so I refactor the code to remove the initial underscores. The last warning comes from an isolated And statement that's within brackets (compiler complains it doesn't do anything), but if I remove that the compiler fails hard.
Thanks to anyone who's read this far. Please let me know if you have any ideas how to get my system to use a customized DSDT.

Thanks for the offer, Radioactive man However, I'm actually compiling a customized kernel with the linux-ck and -sony patches, so your packages won't help. (The custom kernel works fine and I've tested this battery behavior on the the regular, -ck, and -sony kernels as well)
Anyway, so I tried another compile with
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=n in addition to the options listed in [1] and that time it compiled.
Unfortunately it still didn't load the DSDT!
I did catch a quick little error message that turned up in kernel.log though;
/var/log/kernel.log:Sep 15 11:50:24 localhost kernel: [ 0.925780] acerhdf: unknown (unsupported) BIOS version Sony Corporation/VGN-FZ4000E/R2110J7, please report, aborting!
acerhdf is a fan controller module for the Aspire One, and perhaps I left that in the kernel config and it's preventing the custom DSDT from loading, even though the acerhdf module never gets loaded itself, nor is it in my rc.conf or anything else... If that was the cause of all this, I'm gonna be angry...
Anyway, this message does not appear with my latest kernel build because I took off the custom DSDT option, hoping to be able to use ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD=y, which supposedly allows one to inject a custom AML method into a debug fs. It wouldn't have worked anyway, as it doesn't let you modify Device sections, but even with a dummy method insertion it didn't give my root modification privileges as it was supposed to...
Will try recompiling AGAIN with this CONFIG_ACERHDF=n (it's simply 'not set' in my current .config), while also enabling the custom kernel etc. If this doesn't work I have no idea what I'll do.
Anyway, thanks for your help and time:

NDISWRAPPER module supposedly not loading

This is actually pretty funny. Whenever I boot my computer, it says FATAL: NDISWRAPPER module not found, or something to that effect. However, I still have perfectly working network access using my internet card, which utilizes ndiswrapper. So, I was wondering if this is a bug and saying that the module was failing to load. I have it listed in my rc.conf and in my modprobe.conf, and the only other module I have loading is truecrypt, and that loads just fine.
Any ideas on how to fix this message?

Okay, I did not know that. I just assumed since nvidia had a problem and loading nvram fixed it, that nv stood for nvidia. So what's the deal here? Why does this problem exist?
falconindy wrote:Uhhh no but it's still an nvidia card...
Yes, I know that. I just thought it might be relevant, as this card is not very common and that might cause an issue.

[solved] TV card not loaded after upgrade to kmod

After the upgrade to mkinitcpio and kmod replacing module-init-tools, my TV card (Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S) is not loaded.
Downgrading mkinitcpio and re-installing module-init-tools and regenerating my initramfs and all is well.
Is there any extra setup needed with kmod? There are no man files in the kmod package so I'm at a loss what to do.
Incase it helps, here are (maybe not all) the modules related to my tv card when downgraded:

Yes - initramfs regenerated after each upgrade and downgrade.
Forgot to mention I was also suffering from the 'Filename too long' FS#27862 and your updated kmod in that bug's comments fixed that. I'm guessing that my issue is unrelated.
With both kmod packages, initramfs complains that /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf doesn't exist, but I've never added anything in there anyway and the kmod package doesn't contain that file.

[Solved] Synaptics driver not loaded

Recently im getting
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
when I run synclient
Touchpad still works but the synaptics driver is apparently not loaded. I have xf86-input-synaptics installed.
I can't figure out how to load the synaptics driver.

This started after an update about a week ago. It was working perfectly fine with no effort before. I have an elantech touchpad.

I've mostly found ubuntu forums with the issue, they all linked to the debian wiki on synaptics which didn't help much. Even the allmighty archwiki had no troubleshooting instructions for synaptics.

[Solved] Menu Editor not loading.

I installed py solitaire, it didn't show up in the list. I tried to open up the menu editor, and that will not load either. I have fam and alacarte installed, and I am not sure what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: alacarte will not run as a normal user, only as root. Is this normal?

[solved] AMD Ucode not loading on boot

Its being called twice during the early hooks stage of udev.
i have already googled and found I needed to have installed the AMD Ucode package. I have version 2012.1.17-3 but it is being ignored.
Im getting the error
[unix time stamp i assume] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
twice after a long pause.
How do I fix it?
Last edited by Rhiadratech (2012-09-10 14:10:51)

I have put microcode in there as per instructions, but the word microcode was not in mkinitcpio.conf when I installed the system and started seeing the message. I think I added it on instructions in one of the 2 threads or an arch wiki page on the subject. I'll remove it.
The thing is I HAVE the amd-ucode package installed, and i'm STILL getting the message and associated delay on boot. So I'm looking for how I inform it I have installed it?

[SOLVED] ALSA firmware not loading properly with kernel 3.8.6-1

Hi All,
I have a E-MU 1820 card + breakout box that have been working beautiful under Archlinux for years but now something happen.
It still work OK under windows (dual boot same computer).
Normally during boot all indicators on the breakout box blink and then only thin show is clock setting indicator. But now all the indicators still blink but instead it is a -12 dB indicator that light up and not the clock settings and no sound.
dmesg show following.

From what I can see all looks OK, like it did when it worked, but something is not at it should.

I found info describing problem with firmware loading, but it is over my head.

Thank you mich41!
It looks like a kernel bug.
I downgraded to 3.7.10-1 then firmware loaded OK and I could play sounds.
Upgraded to 3.8.6-1 then the firmware fail to load.
Something looks not ok with 3.8.6-1.
Best regards,
Christer

[SOLVED] Module r8169 not loading on boot, can load afterwards...
