/etc/modprobe.d/ is empty?

Hey guys, maybe you can shed some light on my problem.
I'm trying to do a HDA-intel sound card fix and need to access /etc/modprob.d/alsa-base...but it no longer exists there, infact nothing does except "framebuffer_blacklist". (I should be there right, I mean I've done this fix at least 5 times before...).
Okay, so I know it never used to be practically empty so wheres the stuff gone from there? Was it moved? I'm running the kernel 2.6.27-ARCH and I'm assuming it's to do with the upgrade...
Also, is there a mailing list that I can sign up to to alert me of such changes? (if it is a change anyway)
Thanks

Just create the file with the module options you need.

  • I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper

    Hi
    I use oracle Report10g
    When I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper design show data, the report in the paper design show many pages, when generate file show only the information of the margin in the main seccion and the body is empty,
    Thanks

    Thanks Daniel for pointing that out.  Though you answer is helpful but I am not sure if that is what I would want to do.
    The link you provide for csv says "For each report there's an _report.xdo file that contains the XML structure of the report... "   It suggests I modify the .xdo file for each report.  I currently have 16 reports.
    Does it mean I modify the .xdo file for all 16  and what happens if someone creates a 17th report ?
    Also, what if I run the same report using different input parameters will that change the xml structure for the report  and therefore will need me to modify the .xdo again ? (I think it should not change the xml structure so the answer should be "NO" to that, unless I change the structure of the report).
    Finally, the link you provide says after doing what it suggest  "Now log back into BI publisher and select the report. You should now be able to see that CSV is now an option."
    CSV should be an option where ? on what screen/page ?  Maybe PDF is already an option for me that I cant see because I do not know where that option is.
    I was hoping there would be something I could do on the xdo_metadata sheet (in the data constraints section or elsewhere) OR in BI Publisher itself as some property of the report.
    I will try out what you suggest any ways.

  • Alsa entries in /etc/modprobe.conf

    could someone who has all the alsa options compiled as modules post that part of their /etc/modprobe.conf? i'm only getting 3 lines and i believe there are supposed to be more, causing me to have to run alsaconf every time after booting. for some reason the other modules aren't getting written to the file. appreciate!

  • /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf does not work

    I want to pass an option to a kernel mod on bootup. Specifically I want to alter the polling rate of the USB mouse to 500hz, by passing the options usbhid mousepoll=2 to usbhid mod.
    I added a new file to /etc/modprobe.d/ called usbhid.conf with the following contents:
    options usbhid mousepoll=2
    And by executing at runtime:
    sudo modprobe -r usbhid && sudo modprobe usbhid
    Then the mouse correctly runs at 500hz.
    So the conf file works if I execute it manually, but it doesn't get executed on bootup even though I have modconf on the HOOKS= in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
    Anyone knows what's wrong and why this doesnt work, or how I can debug it to find it out by myself?

    Yes it is.
    lsinitcpio -l /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep modprobe
    ./usr/bin/modprobe
    ./usr/lib/modprobe.d
    ./usr/lib/modprobe.d/usb-load-ehci-first.conf
    ./etc/modprobe.d
    ./etc/modprobe.d/vmware-fuse.conf
    ./etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf
    ./etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
    Maybe I'm missing something here or it's a copy paste error but you said it's called usbhid.conf, that's not in this list.

  • Update of kernel: file in /etc/modprobe.d missing

    That it's missing I know. I tried to apply a fix to the "Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not after" by adding a file in /etc/modprobe.d according to some suggestions I found, but it didn't really fixing anything and hence I removed the file.
    Now when updating the kernel it complains each time about that missing file and I can't find any information to why and based on what it still looks for that file. How do I fix this?
    It doesn't affect the system as far as I can see, but the message is annoying and I prefer to clean this little mess up.

    OK, let me show the output of pacman:
    >>> Generating initial ramdisk, using mkinitcpio.  Please wait...
    ==> Building image "default"
    ==> Running command: /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.28-ARCH -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26.img

    As can be seen it still after I don't know how many updates look for a file I only once tested. So somewhere it's registered as needed parameter.

  • Module snd-hda-intel ingore its /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

    Hi,
    I have trouble with modprobe. During boot there are loaded modules, I suppose with configs in /etc/modprobe.d. To get my sound card working I need to load module snd-hda-intel with this option:
    options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig
    So I added the line to /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf. The option isn't loaded during boot, but if I rmmod snd-hda-intel and modprobe snd-hda-intel then is everything OK.
    Thx for help.

    I would like to exchange the usb microphone to the sound card.
    USB microphone would be second place, since it is a mic only.
    first main sound would come from usb sound card system.
    then would get sounds
    ALSA  has  a  special built‐in module autoloading system.  You do
    not have to make use of it, and it is useless if your /dev direc‐
    tory  is managed by udev, but in case you do want to use it, here
    is a brief explanation of how it is supposed to work.
    When the "snd" module is loaded and the  user  tries  to  open  a
    sound  device  file  with a minor number that indicates that card
    number N is wanted, snd modprobes "snd‐card‐N".  Thus, if you set
    up module loader configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/sound to look
    like this:
        alias snd‐card‐0 snd‐cs46xx
        options snd‐cs46xx index=0
    then snd‐cs46xx will be automagically loaded when it is needed to
    handle  the  attempted open() of the sound device.  The "index=0"
    option ensures that when snd‐cs46xx is loaded the first card that
    it registers is given index 0.
    If  you  have an additional sound card of the same type then make
    the file look like this:
        alias snd‐card‐0    snd‐cs46xx
        alias snd‐card‐1    snd‐cs46xx
        options snd‐cs46xx  index=0,1
    If you have, instead, an additional sound  card  of  a  different
    type then make the file look like this:
        alias snd‐card‐0    snd‐cs46xx
        options snd‐cs46xx  index=0
        alias snd‐card‐1    snd‐emu10k1
        options snd‐emu10k1 index=1
    ALSA supports up to eight sound cards.
    The alsaconf program, available in the alsa‐utils package (in De‐
    bian but not in Ubuntu),  performs  hardware  detection  and  can
    write  out a module loader configuration file that looks like the
    above.
    Unfortunately, alsaconf can only detect one  sound  card  and  is
    generally a poorly written program.
    The  module  loader  configuration files just described are addi‐
    tional to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa‐base which is shipped as  conffile
    with  the  alsa‐base package.  The files contain basic configura‐
    tion entries which don't normally need to be customized.  The en‐
    tries may include:
    *  ALSA  autoloader aliases * an entry for each normal sound card
    driver that will cause a command
      to be executed after the driver has initialized * an entry  for
    each abnormal driver (i.e., a driver that drives
      hardware  such  as  a TV card or modem that is not suited to be
    the
      primary sound card) preventing it from grabbing index 0
    Suppose you decide that you need to load a certain  driver,  snd‐
    foo,  with  options: "dma1=0 ctlport=0x530".  The recommended way
    to set this up is to create additional files in  /etc/modprobe.d/
    each containing an "options" line:
        # /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_local
        options snd‐foo dma1=0 ctlport=0x530
    creating  device  files  ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ ALSA native device
    files are located in /dev/snd/.   (ALSA's  kernel‐  OSS‐emulation
    device files are of course the same as the OSS device files.)
    Udev  takes care of creating devices files when modules are load‐
    ed.
    reloading     modules     across      APM      suspend‐a
    what shall I enter into, /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
    Create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf with the following contents:
    ## ALSA portion
    alias char-major-116 snd
    alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
    alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
    ## module options should go here
    options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=ref
    options snd-usb-audio index=1
    and run 'alsa force-reload' or reboot.

    I would like to exchange the usb microphone to the sound card.
    USB microphone would be second place, since it is a mic only.
    first main sound would come from usb sound card system.
    then would get sounds
    ALSA  has  a  special built‐in module autoloading system.  You do
    not have to make use of it, and it is useless if your /dev direc‐
    tory  is managed by udev, but in case you do want to use it, here
    is a brief explanation of how it is supposed to work.
    When the "snd" module is loaded and the  user  tries  to  open  a
    sound  device  file  with a minor number that indicates that card
    number N is wanted, snd modprobes "snd‐card‐N".  Thus, if you set
    up module loader configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/sound to look
    like this:
        alias snd‐card‐0 snd‐cs46xx
        options snd‐cs46xx index=0
    then snd‐cs46xx will be automagically loaded when it is needed to
    handle  the  attempted open() of the sound device.  The "index=0"
    option ensures that when snd‐cs46xx is loaded the first card that
    it registers is given index 0.
    If  you  have an additional sound card of the same type then make
    the file look like this:
        alias snd‐card‐0    snd‐cs46xx
        alias snd‐card‐1    snd‐cs46xx
        options snd‐cs46xx  index=0,1
    If you have, instead, an additional sound  card  of  a  different
    type then make the file look like this:
        alias snd‐card‐0    snd‐cs46xx
        options snd‐cs46xx  index=0
        alias snd‐card‐1    snd‐emu10k1
        options snd‐emu10k1 index=1
    ALSA supports up to eight sound cards.
    The alsaconf program, available in the alsa‐utils package (in De‐
    bian but not in Ubuntu),  performs  hardware  detection  and  can
    write  out a module loader configuration file that looks like the
    above.
    Unfortunately, alsaconf can only detect one  sound  card  and  is
    generally a poorly written program.
    The  module  loader  configuration files just described are addi‐
    tional to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa‐base which is shipped as  conffile
    with  the  alsa‐base package.  The files contain basic configura‐
    tion entries which don't normally need to be customized.  The en‐
    tries may include:
    *  ALSA  autoloader aliases * an entry for each normal sound card
    driver that will cause a command
      to be executed after the driver has initialized * an entry  for
    each abnormal driver (i.e., a driver that drives
      hardware  such  as  a TV card or modem that is not suited to be
    the
      primary sound card) preventing it from grabbing index 0
    Suppose you decide that you need to load a certain  driver,  snd‐
    foo,  with  options: "dma1=0 ctlport=0x530".  The recommended way
    to set this up is to create additional files in  /etc/modprobe.d/
    each containing an "options" line:
        # /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_local
        options snd‐foo dma1=0 ctlport=0x530
    creating  device  files  ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ ALSA native device
    files are located in /dev/snd/.   (ALSA's  kernel‐  OSS‐emulation
    device files are of course the same as the OSS device files.)
    Udev  takes care of creating devices files when modules are load‐
    ed.
    reloading     modules     across      APM      suspend‐a
    what shall I enter into, /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
    Create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf with the following contents:
    ## ALSA portion
    alias char-major-116 snd
    alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
    alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
    ## module options should go here
    options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=ref
    options snd-usb-audio index=1
    and run 'alsa force-reload' or reboot.

  • Warning: All config files need conf:/etc/modprobe/sound

    when I boot I get about 20 of these messages which slows my booting way down.
    "Warning: All config files need conf:/etc/modprobe/sound,it will be ignored in future releases"
    What can I do do make it go away?

    You can search the forums and read the news on the frontpage before upgrading - Wonder linked you to the specific message.
    This has been covered over and over.

    I've never used fedora, but arch will not ever do any blacklisting - it doesn't do our thinking for us.  Some arch users need to blacklist some modules.
    If everything is working for you, then it sounds like you are set.  You can add .conf files to that directory and they will be used by kmod the same as they would have been by modprobe.
    As for the differences, if some modules were blacklisted for you by a fedora install or some other automatic process, perhaps it was to liberal and it listed some that wouldn't bother your system.  If you're curious you could try removing some to see if everything still works.
    But as they say, if it aint broke ...

  • Nouveau driver not starting - Direct firmware load failed error -2

    Hi all,
    I am trying to install Arch Linux for the first time, on a laptop.
    I have followed Arch Linux Forums step by step, and now I am trying to set up a graphical environment with Gnome 3.
    I then went through both the xorg page and Nouveau page, and installed the nouveau driver.
    But on booting, the driver seems to fail to load, and I get the following from the dmesg log (and also mixed up with my login prompt in the console at startup):

    Hi CarID, thanks for your help.
    Indeed I am actually to start x with Intel driver, but still not able to start x with Nouveau, using the GeForce, and I am still getting these logs on booting.

    Is it possible that it tries to reach an external screen (on the hdmi output) ? I would simply like to use it on the direct monitor of my laptop, though.

  • Empty /etc/rc.conf? I got lost.

    Hello,
    I'm following the Beginners Guide provided in the wiki, the steps have been carefully written until the final step: the configuration. It seems that many things changed since that guide was written.
    The file /etc/rc.conf is empty. Should I leave it that way? The guide is saying that many lines there need to be edited by me, but nothing is there. Is it a matter of adding them myself?
    I've uncommented languages I need (ar and en), anything yet to be configured?
    Regards,
    Laser

    You should try again, I guess.
    There has been some bug report about this recently, maybe you should report there:
    http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8898
    When I encountered this problem I hadn't select all needed packages the first time... since I wanted to do two separated installs of pacman and the filesystem package.... this didn't work however, after I did a new install it went fine again... not sure what it is exactly but hopefully next time you try it just works (use some magic ), else you should really report your problems and configuration to above bugtask.

  • [SOLVED] netconsole working great - local journal's now almost empty

    the kernel command line never worked for me.
    I realized I had network init disabled in the bios.  Enabling bios init did not let netconsole start either at the boot parameters, or  the entry in   /etc/modules-load.d/
    The service that loads the module after the network comes up works (additional note at end)
    [Unit]
    Description= kernel kmsg to network
    Description=/etc/systemd/system/netconsole.service
    #wants maybe more appropriate; I didn't want to add stop handling to this; Requires would try to stop this if the network goes down
    Wants=network.target
    [Service]
    ExecStart=-/usr/bin/modprobe netconsole
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    are these (observations on netconsole setup) candidates to include on the wiki?
    to the question at hand, the local log's almost empty - no entries for USB device insertions (these go to the target machine), udev/dbus stuff that I used to get from mozilla  ... tons of stuff that used to be in there.
    I had to reinstall Arch, I'm still recovering so that complicates matters: I may have had an old systemd setup that wrote too much.
    this does write to the local log
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /usr/bin/echo "WORKING DIR CHANGED TO"
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /usr/bin/pwd
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /usr/bin/echo "STARTING TAR"
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /usr/bin/printf "\033[1;35mSTARTING TAR TEST END COLOR\033[0m COLOR ENDED"
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /usr/bin/printf "\033[1;35mSTARTING TAR"
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /bin/tar cf $TARfile
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" echo "failed, exiting"
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /usr/bin/printf "\033[0m"
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" \
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" \
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /usr/bin/ls -x --color=always /home/sam/bin
    /usr/bin/stat * -c '%s %Y %n' | sort -n -k 2 |/usr/bin/tail -n3 | /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test"
    /usr/bin/systemd-cat -t "sams systemd log test" /usr/bin/echo "backup filenames: "
    the issue now is, the local journal's empty of a lot of stuff that used to show up.
    this page's solution
    http://www.burtonini.com/wordpress/2013 … o-project/
    Update: when the journal starts up systemd will stop logging to the console, so if you want to get all systemd messages also pass systemd.log_target=kmsg.
    (I may have misunderstood; that sentence may have meant ... "if you want to get all systemd messages"  TO THE REMOTE machine)
    did not work (to restore the local entries), neither did these (taken from the systemd man page, SIGRTMIN+26, SIGRTMIN+27, SIGRTMIN+28)
    sync;sync;kill -60 1
    sync;sync;kill -61 1
    sync;sync;kill -62 1
    these latter command do report (on the netconsole'd remote machine) that the journal target has changed but nothing in the local journal.
    anything else to try to restore the local entries?
    the promised end note;
    cat /etc/modprobe.d/netconsole.conf

    I got stuck on thinking about netconsole - finally I realized it was indeed the reinstall I had done
    That reinstall took away the users added to the systemd-journal group.

  • [SOLVED] modprobe usage info displayed at boot

    This thread seems related to /sbin/modprobe runs at boot before udev [solved]
    I'm using mkinitcpio 0.7.2-1 on x86_64, my system is completely up-to-date, but somehow I seem to be still affected by FS#24766: I'm getting modprobe's usage info displayed at boot.
    My MODULES array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf is empty and the file is unmodified.
    I have tried reinstalling mkinitcpio with no positive results.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    Eheh, it worked, thanks! I wonder why reinstalling mkinitcpio didn't solve it then... well, nevermind

  • Mail 4.5 folders are empty after 10.6.8 reinstall.

    Hi Guys,
    I need advice about Mail 4.5.
    I've been obliged to reinstall ALL my data.
    On a brand new hard drive, I did a clean DVD install of 10.6.5, and then a clean Software Update install of 10.6.8, in my MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4 MB of RAM.
    I have NOT been able to rely upon my Time Machine backups (long story).
    Instead, I've been obliged to do a raw copy of all my data from an external hard drive.
    Everything seems to be back where it was except Mail 4.5.
    Mail launches fine, it can see all my accounts, it can pull down new mail, and I can see all my Mail folders, as evidenced by this screen grab:
    The problem is that ALL my Mail folders (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Junk, etc) appear to be empty.
    So, for example, the Mail folder called 'Newspapers' shows that it has 20,418 unread messages within it.
    However, when I click on the 'Newspapers' folder, I can't see ANY messages, either read or unread.
    Instead, I just get a blank white screen.
    All my Mail accounts are running on standard POP configs. 
    No IMAP complexities, or anything like that.
    I've installed EXACT copies of these three folders, all of which worked fine before I was forced to reinstall all my data:
    - Users/Name/Library/Mail
    - Users/Name/Library/Mail Downloads
    - Users/Name/Library/Preferences
    I've also repaired Permissions in Disk Utility, and pulled restarts.
    In view of the fact that Mail can see my messages, but won't show them to me, I'm stumped.
    Your wise and kind advice would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks.
    Best,
    Michael T
    London, England

    Hi Softwater,
    Thanks for your kind and swift response.
    It's not the recent e-mails which I'm worried about.
    They can stay on the server until I've resolved my OLD e-mails, 99% of which are long deleted from their servers.
    I'm deliberately keeping Mail offline until I've retrieved my 20 year e-mail history, all of which has been put into sub-folders within sub-folders within sub-folders.
    I've got to get my e-mail history back.
    Thanks.
    Best,
    Michael

  • Problem with empty folder showing up in incorrect release folder

    Thanks to several forum contributors I've got conditional build expressions working correctly to create five Single Source Layouts. To keep it simple, I'll use letters for the SSLs.

    As you can see, all the licensed modules can access topics in the Core Help, but cannot access topics in any module that they have not licensed.
    There are no untagged topics in the Help.
    When I generate the Help for the licensed modules, RoboHelp creates an empty folder in each target Release folder that is related to one of those licensed modules. For example, the B, C, D, and E Release folders ALL contain an empty E folder.
    I have gone through the project with a fine-tooth comb, verifying that the tags are correctly applied, checking images and baggage files, etc. But that empty E folder continues to appear.
    Any thoughts about the next step that I might want to take to clean this up?
    Thanks.
    Carol

    HI Carol
    Are you using Inclusive or Exclusive build expression?
    Sounds like it's Inclusive, but thought I'd ask.
    If so, you might try using Exclusive. Just clear tags with anything related to A. After all, it's included by default anyway, no? As an aside, if the folder is empty, not really seeing the concern. Just curiosity?
    Cheers... Rick
