Module 'asus-nb-wmi' stopped being auto-loaded after kernel update

Well, the module 'asus-nb-wmi' which takes care of some FN keys and keyboard backlight stopped being auto-loaded after the latest kernel udpate (3.9.3), so I had to add it to /etc/modules-load.d/ to get it working. This has happened before, between kernel updates and I had to re-install arch to fix it, but now I found that manually adding the module is a nice solution, but I want it to be loaded automatically or at least know why does this happen. Kernel modules, such as this one, should be loaded automatically right?
Best regards.

I think there is a valid question here;  Same thing happened to me.
Upon a default install of arch, the module was auto-loaded without the user touching any configuration files
at some point during kernel updates, the module is no longer auto-loaded
the user then has to find out what is happening and go add the module to the appropriate config file to force load on boot.
So the larger question is; without config files being taken into consideration, how does the kernel decide what modules to load?  f
I know it has something to do with the hardware that it detects, but am unaware if this is something within the RC or systemctl booting system, or if this is part of the kernel.
I'm going to dig around some more on the internet, as i'm sure the answer is out there somewhere.. but if someone that is on this forum happens to read and know the answer, it would be nice to know
thanks

  • [Solved] Can not build modules for VMware Player after kernel updates

    I have a problem generating the modules for VMware Player after kernel updates. I am using  VMware Player version 5.02 (without patches) and the softlink according to the Wiki.
    When I start the installation of the modules from the GUI, the program just closes. Running vmware-modconfig in the CLI generates the following log file:

    Solved (somehow).

  • Automatically build kernel module after kernel update

    Hello. Everytime kernel is updated, my wifi drivers don't work. I need to use this to get my adapter working: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8192cu-dkms/ .
    After kernel update, I have to manually reinstall the package, so the kernel module gets rebuilt. Is there any way to make it automatic?

    I noticed it, but your script doesn't run at all when I type `mkinitcpio -p linux`. And wifi still works after reboot. Same for graphics driver, it has a hook at shutdown, that rebuilds its module after kernel update, it haven't run too and graphics driver works. It's like 'mkinitcpio -p linux' does nothing to the system.

  • Automatic recompiling of kernel module after kernel update.

    Hello everyone,
    i tried to search for it but without success...
    my question is - is it possible to set it up somehow that aur package would recompile after kernel update?
    The package I would like to rebuild is rt3090 which is module for my wifi card. It is very annoying to rebuild it manually. I know that my fglrx module does it automaticaly but how to set it?
    Thank all of you for any advise.

    Thank you :-) It looks ok, I will try DKMS as soon as I get some free time. If there was any problem, I would tell you.
    BTW: I use catalyst mainly because of saving energy management, which is of course better for my netbook. My card is too new to be fully supported by the opensource driver.
    EDIT:
    I solved the situation by upgrading my system, I tried in-kernel module rt2800pci. In the previous kernels it didn't work well with my crappy ralink rt3090 wifi card, but that's been improved :-) so I do not need rebuild the package anymore even because this module isn't compatible with newest kernel.
    I also learnt how to write my own hook from archwiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio) so if the new module didn't work I would try it.
    The final solution = replace module rt3090sta by rt2800pci.
    Thanks! Arch has very powerful community :-)

  • Usb hard drive not loading after security update

    usb hard drive not loading after security update
    I can't seem to find any other posts about this problem.
    I have three external hard rives connect by a USB hub to my iMac.
    Problem is that if I turn on the hard drive(s) AFTER start up I get a message that the drive either was not recognized by the OS or that it was ejected unexpectedly. 
    I get the same issue but not all the time if I turn them on before I boot the iMac.
    I used the disk drive utility to "repair" the drives but they always come back as "probably ok". 
    If I restart the iMac with the drives connected (on), it seems to work but not all the time.
    A bit annoying as I am wondering if the drives are OK or not.
    I don't always need the drives as they are for backing up images from my camera using Apreture.
    This all began after i did the latest security update.
    is the update to blame?
    mahalo.

    Yes, you can still use those instructions to reset the PRAM.
    You said that you booted to your install disk and that your primary drive did not show up at the Select a Destination screen? That usually means that the computer is either not recognizing your partition, or it's not recognizing the hard drive itself.
    Start with this article and follow all the steps even if you already tried them. I suspect that you'll get to step 4 and you'll end up having to call Applecare. If you haven't done those steps, they're most likely going to make you do them anyway, so you might as well get them done before the call.

  • Power up stops at blue screen after software update

    I have a rather old Power Book G4, but was working fine until I tried a software update. It had 5 updates. It required a restart so I restarted it, and the update began. At 22% complete it stopped and said to restart. It wouldn't complete the upgrade. So I restarted it. It now stops at the blue screen. It gets past the gray screen with the Apple logo, but stops. Any ideas before I take it in? Thanks.

    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that webpages takes so long to load(some webpages can't even load) after upgrading to Windows Server 2008 R2.
    Which server has been upgraded to Windows Server 2008 R2? And what is the OS version before upgrading?
    >If I add Fios DNS on DHCP's DNS, the webpages load so fast.
    I am wondering that if the webpages mean Internet webpages. Check the settings on DNS server which connects to external network about forwarders or root hints. Or you may configure the Fios DNS as forwarder of your DNS server.
    >I can't use the computer name to access to other internal sites. I have to use IP address instead.
    Open the DNS server and confirm that if corresponding DNS entries are correct. Besides, open CMD, type the command below and each line end with enter:

    Post the result here, and also provide the ipconfig /all result here.

  • HT204384 I don't want my pictures to start loading automatically from my SD card.  How to I stop the auto load to my computer?

    When I put my SD card into my imac it automatically starts loading into an autoload program.  I don't want this to happen.  I want to be able to just open my card and drag my files where I want them to be.
    I cannot figure out how to turn this feature off.  Please help me with this.

    Just to cover all possibilities, open iPhoto > Preferences and make sure you have the same "no application" marked there:

  • Safari stopped loading after an update

    safari stopped loading, so i tried to download safari disk image from the apple site but when i try to open it i get the error that disk image failed to mount because it was "not recognized" i tried opening as a test user but got the same error. So then i dragged the original safari application to the trash and tried it but got the same error again

    That generally means a bad download, or a Disk corruption problem.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Auto rebuilding module after kernel update?

    Hi,
    I'm using the package broadcom-wl on my Arch-laptop, and it has to be rebuilt everytime I update the kernel. That is no problem until you forget it once and have to go looking for that cable that the misses has thoroughly hidden from me.
    Is there a place where I can f.e. specify which modules have to be rebuilt after the kernel is updated? This package is in AUR, so that might pose another problem?

  • Services stopped responding to requests after several updates

    This week all services on a G5 dual 1.8Mhz tower stopped responding. Unfortunately, I cannot find a trigger event for this though perhaps it is related to recent updates.
    The services that stopped responding include bonjour, ssh, remote desktop/management, web server, and any services residing on an Airport Express (printing, AirTunes). Even ICMP pings will not respond.
    All outbound connectivity works properly and I can access all the services locally.
    On the surface it looks like a firewall problem, but no changes were made there and even with the FW set to "Accept all incoming connections", nothing gets through.
    Using tcpdump, I can see the remote computers trying to access the services, but there is no response.
    Also, during bootup, print jobs that were stalled because the printer on the Airport Express couldn't be found actually print and for s short time the system responds to pings, then stops.
    There are lots of errors in the console at startup including the "SHAuthorizationRight" error (see below):

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It took a couple days to figure this out, but I have answered my own question.
    The problem was a security policy installed by a Check Point VPN1 connection to a particular remote site. Their policy turned off all local access on my G5. After deleting the site from VPN1 all services became available.
    This really is a CheckPoint problem because I could not find any way to change the security policy to "unrestricted".

  • [SOLVED] module problems after kernel update

    after update to linux-3.10.10-1 I cannot load some modules anymore:
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tp_smapi': Exec format error
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'hdaps': Exec format error
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error
    seems to be all thinkpad modules plus virtualbox. Probably these packages need an update to work with new kernel..?

    Probably they do, yes. How exactly did you update? Did you do pacman -Su (or -Syu), or did you selectively update just some packages? You aren't supposed to update just parts of your system – if you do, weird things happen – such as your kernel suddenly not loading all your modules.

  • Javascript doesn't load after latest update Firefox 17.0

    I have problem loading Java related websites after an upgrade to the latest version of Firefox 17.0
    Some pages, keep asking me to enable "Javascript".
    Under preferences, "Enabled Javascript" is already being checked, yet the websites still will not load.
    Java is already updated.
    I do not have this issues before the upgrade, and all along it is working fine.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Plugins Failed to Load after AE Update

    After updating to 11.0.2.12 I receive this error when starting After Effects.
    XDCAMH.prm
    ImporterFastMPEG.prm
    ImporterMPEG.prm
    All three failed to load.

    I'm not saying it causes "more" issues than it provides fixes, it's just causing other issues. Of course this is a typical case of "YMMV", but I've seen too many issues popping up over the last few days to really give this a clean bill, and that's not even counting the notorious unreliability of Application Manager/ Update Manager. Well, whatever, anybody is free to try, just don't say you haven't been warned....
