Systemd, pacman and kernel modules

Just a thought, once Arch has transferred to systemd, would it not be pretty easy to get pacman to install a conf file under /etc/modules-conf/ automatically, and remove it on uninstall?

That's already the case for several modules, e.g. tp_smapi, and is independent from systemd. Also see Tom's mail.
Okay, so why the inconsistency?
Tom's mail
The reasoning being that an admin is almost certainly not going to
want to install a package and then not follow the post-install
instructions. Conversely, on un-install (s)he is likely to want to
revert these changes.
Totally agree.

Raid Driver and Kernel Module

I am having trouble getting the kernel to recognize the raid drivers which my card uses. The install of arch is fresh. The raid card is a HighPoint RocketRaid 2300. I browsed the AUR and found a PKGBUILD for an older version of the driver written by LoneWolf. I updated it to fit my needs.
The PKGBUILD I have is:
# Contributor: LoneWolf --Edited by Vitechy
pkgname=rr231x-0x
pkgver=2.1
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="Kernel modules for Highpoint RocketRAID 230x and 231x SATA cards"

build() {
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/scsi/
cd $startdir/src/rr231x_0x-linux-src-v2.5/product/rr2310pm/linux/
make || return 1

mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname
cp $startdir/src/rr231x_0x-linux-src-v2.5/README $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/
The post install script I used is:
# This is a default template for a post-install scriptlet. You can
# remove any functions you don't need (and this header).
# arg 1: the new package version
pre_install() {
/bin/true
# arg 1: the new package version
post_install() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
post_upgrade() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
# arg 1: the old package version
post_remove() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
op=$1
shift
$op $*
Executing the PKGBUILD with the makepkg command creates a .pkg.tar.gz file. Installing the package with pacman -U nameofpackage.pkg.tar.gz reports that the package has been installed. Running pacman -Qs reports that there is a package, local/rr231x-0x on the system.
The raid card is still not functioning. Instead of seeing a raid array I see the individual HDD's which are connected to the raid card which is something I could see even before running makepkg. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have rebooted the PC but that has done nothing. Also running modprobe rr230x_0x or modprobe rr2310_00 returns FATAL:Module rr230x_0x/rr2310_00 not found.
Any help is appreciated.

PS. The md5sums in the PKGBUILD example I provided above is not the same one as the one in the PKGBUILD which is actually compiling on the server. The PKGBUILD above I recited from memory; however, I do not remember the actual number which I obtained by running makepkg -g. I will update as soon as I have access to the server again. I have updated the PKGBUILD above to exactly match the one im using on the server.

Oh, wow I didn't even notice that.
Modprobe was able to load the modules now; however, now I see the HDD's and the raid array. In other words running fdisk -l shows all of the HDD's connected to the raid card, /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc as well as the raid array /dev/sdd.
The raid array has not finished building, so is it a possibility that that is why it is showing up. I will post updates when the raid array has finished initializing.

[SOLVED] Two pacmans and kernels

keerthi ~ $ pacman -Q | grep pacman
pacman 3.1.3-1
pacman 3.1.2-1
keerthi ~ $ pacman -Q | grep kernel26
kernel26 2.6.24.3-4
kernel26 2.6.24.3-3
I tried force installing (with -f) pacman 3.1.3-1 and kernel26 2.6.24.3-3 (repo version). Pacman reports it upgraded successfully but duplicates appears when I query the packages. How do I deal with these?
* I only have core/extra/community enabled.
Last edited by keerthi (2008-03-14 02:31:10)

kernel 2.6.24.3-4. I compiled it from source. I was hoping it would create a LOCALVERSION but the build upgraded the kernel I already had (2.6.24.3-3). I ended up with an unbootable system so I restored my / with an week-old backup. After restore, I found some of the packages duplicated - one I got from repos since my last backup and the other came from the restore process. LOL!
I had to manually delete the offending versions from /var/lib/pacman/local/
Lesson Learned: Remember to delete everything from / and then restore from backup to avoid ghost packages

Catalyst: fglrx and kernel module

I just installed arch linux 2009-08 on my laptop, and I installed catalyst using yaourt. My system is updated.
Catalyst driver and dependencies are installed, fglrx added on modules on rc.conf but on startup when loading modules it says:
FATAL: error inserting fglrx /lib/moduls/2.6.30-arch/video/fglrx.ko: unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
what should I do?
thx

do:
lsmod | grep fglrx
To double check if you got it installed right

Wacom Intuos Pro aka Intuos 5 kernel module not loading

Are you sure it should work? If you check linuxwacom-announce mailing list, you will see that for your device (Intuos Pro):
- X11 support is added by xf86-input-wacom 0.23.0
- configuration support is added in libwacom 0.8
- kernel support is added in input-wacom 0.19 but isn't in mainline kernel yet - on 28'th Spet Jason said: "We don't yet have support for the new "Intuos" line, but we expect our next release in six weeks' time to include it."
I'd say you have to wait for newer kernel, or try installing input-wacom on your own risk (different thing from xf86-input-wacom). Patch for mainline kernel reached Dmitry Torokhov's input tree - but isn't merged with official kernel yet, even 3.12rc5 still does not have those patches.

VFAT kernel module won't load [SOLVED]

I'm running kernel version 3.7.5 and after the update that got me to that version, it appears to have completely borked VFAT and kernel modules in general. My system still runs fine, but the vfat module is missing and cannot be loaded with modprobe or insmod. Oddly, the kernel object exists in /usr/lib/modules, yet my system seems to be ignoring it. Upon further investigation, it appears that it is impossible to load or remove ANY modules using modprobe or insmod. I recently did a reinstall of Arch, following exactly the steps in the Beginner's Guide, if that makes any difference.
Help? Please? I need the vfat module loaded before I can compile a custom kernel (my next big project)

[SOLVED] pacman -Syu on 10/17/2012, systemd can't load kernel modules

Ok, I did a [pacman -Syu] on my laptop, and everything went well. So I decided to upgrade my PC as well, did a reboot and then couldn't ssh into it.
Had to access the machine, and found

I'm guessing it's probably something with the new image after the pgrade, but I don't know which module to load nor do I
understand why systemd isn't loading the modules when it was working stable enough to act as a headless server before. However, I've only been a week or so with systemd and might have overlooked something in the configs. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Please. I'm desperate.

Yep, I got that far, and tried the same advice from a different user with a 'tee' command which did the same thing, but unfortunately the forcedeth module can't be loaded because its in a different directory than the 'uname -r' specification allows modprobe to search for. I posted my attempts here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1181940

[S]Systemd can't start Load Kernel Modules after upgrade to Linux 4.0

After upgrading from linux 3.19.3-3 to 4.0.1-1 I've been having a bit of an issue. At that same time I upgraded readline (6.3.006-1 → 6.3.008-1), linux-firmware (20150206.17657c3-1 → 20150410.ec89525-1), nvidia (349.16-1 → 349.16-2) , wpa_suplican (2.4-1 → 1:2.3-1), and arpack (3.1.5-1 → 3.2.0-1). There may be some typos there since I'm copying by hand. Normally this wouldn't be much of a problem because I have been, priory to a few weeks ago, really good about back ups and would just roll my OS back 15 minutes. But things like that tend to fly out the window when the semester gets heavy. My last snapshot was on May 22nd, which I could still use, but would rather not. Also, it seems like a good idea to try to actual fix things for a change.
[edit] I should mention that this upgrade was run April 30th.[/edit]
When I finished booting the system after the upgrade, I got an error message during boot “systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.” When it finished booting I run “dmesg -l err” to confirm that I'm not having a bad day dream or something. I'm also still seeing the errors that I described in this thread. Don't know if the two are related. I also noticed, when I was logging in, that it said that my stystem was still using the old kernel. Indeed, according to “uname -r” I'm still using 3.19.3-3-ARCH.
The closest thing to experience I have with this is when I forget to mount /boot before upgrading linux, so I made sure /boot was mounted and rand “sudo pacman -S linux” to reinstall, but this didn't help. Just to check I ran “ls /lib/modules” and see the directorys “4.0.1-1-ARCH” and “extramodules-4.0-ARCH” as I would expect after a succesful upgrade of the kernel.
Running “systemctl –failed, shows that in addition to systemd-modules-load.service, lm_sensors.service has also failed. I somehow expect lm_sensors depends on systemd-modules-load. I tried “systemctl restart systemd-modules-load”, but was rewarded with a message telling me that it failed. The “journalctl -xe” log has the lines
systemd[1]: system-modules-load[1799]: Failed to look up alias 'sg': Function not implemented
systemd[1]: system-modules-load[1799]: Failed to look up alias 'nfs': Function not implemented
Looking at the Wiki for Systemd under troubleshooting it actually has an example of trying to work through this exact issue. Following that I tried
journalctl _PID=1799
systemd[1]: system-modules-load[1799]: Failed to look up alias 'sg': Function not implemented
systemd[1]: system-modules-load[1799]: Failed to look up alias 'nfs': Function not implemented
which I already mentioned. At this point that bit of the Wiki stopped being useful.
Looking up on Google Failed to look up alias 'nfs': Function not implemented returned this thread from two years ago. Running “lsmod |grep sg” or $lsmod |grep nfs” returns nothing, but it also returns nothing on this laptop I'm using as well, so I don't imagine that is useful. Also, “# grep nfs /lib/modules/4.0.1-1-ARCH/modules.alias” returns a “Nosuch file or directory” error.
Searching for something on 'sg' turned up https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=165361, which was also not useful.
As a sort of last resort I tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … the_kernel
I reboot and boot into my fallback installation, running 3.19.3-3, mount the partition with my main Arch on it, and arch-chroot into it.
I downgraded linux, and nvidia, exited chroot, and rebooted hoping to the Great Bacon that I didn't do anything too damaging. After all, my back ups are more than a week out of date.
This worked. I'm still getting those annyoing (they are only annoying right?) error messages I mentioned earlier. My system seems fine, if somewhat out of date.
Still, the question remains, “why did that happen, and how do I actually fix it?”
[edit2=solution]
There were two problems. First, my grub.cfg entry was pointing to the wrong UUID. I fixed this by regenerating it. Then I noticed the UUID in the grub menu itself (during the boot prosses) did not match what was in grub.cfg. To fix this I reinstalled grub.
Last edited by nstgc (2015-05-05 12:07:30)

Well, I took snapshots, not back ups but they work well enough for this, and rsynced /boot/ to where it use to be, moved/renamed the subvolume boot, and commented out the appropriate line in fstab. I also deleted that other /boot from before. I unmount /boot, and regenerate my grub.cfg. If my machine still boots, I'll try for an upgrade.
grub.cfg now looks like

It seems as if the lines you mentioned, Scimmia, have changed. I'll take that as a good sign.
[edit] System still boots. Trying for the upgrade.
[edit2] Still can't use Linux 4.0. I'm getting the same errors as before.
[edit3] Successfully downgraded.
[edit4] I looked through /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and there isn't anything in there that isn't in my laptop's. I don't know if this will help, but here is the output of "pacman -Q"

[edit5] My /etc/modules-load.d directory is empty by the way, and "sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load" returns nothing. Note, this is all while running Linux 3.19, but I believe it should demonstrate that I don't have any special modules running. Or so I believe.

Systemd fails to load modules with kernel 3.0

When booting, systemd tells to issue this command:
sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
Password:
systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service)
Active: failed since Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:40:15 +0200; 1min 26s ago
Process: 237 ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/systemd-modules-load.service
I have no idea about what it's happening or how to solve it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

EDIT: one more thing related for this bug, when i installed archboot yesterday it was everything work, then i do pacman -Syu and i updated package initscript and krb5 after this updated package network and audio stoped to work so probaby problem is here in initscrit (i guessing) and i not use kernel 3.0 i use
uname -a

Questions: On NVIDIA Kernel module and install process

Hi everyone,
I have a PCIe 7600 GT card, and trying to get it to work in its full power.
So far I have not succeeded, and condemned to run in VESA mode. But have one more try to do following the advisory of upgrading kernel and reinstalling the Nvidia driver.
I have few questions though:
- I know my kernel as 2.6.15-ARCH (from the dir in /usr/src), but in the above mentioned advisory, there were more digits after ("2.6.16.14-1"). Where in my system, I can locate those micro version numbers, if I need to?
- My not-yet-working Nvidia driver insrtall (from [testing]) left a kernel module with "agp" in the name. Is it the way it should be, taking into account that I have a PCIe card? Or is this pointing to an install problem?
- I have browsed the stuff in the 8756 vintage of the Nvidia driver, and noticed that there are references to X11R6 which I do not have (have an X R7 Xorg). Which one of the driver-install-script or Arch-PKGBUILD-file has the intelligence to place the files correctly in R6 and R7 installs?
- The 8756 text also refers to nvidia-xconfig utility, and I did use it in my 64-bit Gentoo install. In my Arch install it is no where to be found. Again, is this pointing to an install problem?
Thanks,

1.
pacman -Q kernel26
will give you the minor numbers
2. no clue
3. the 8751 driver works fine with xorg 7, so i presume the new one should work also.
4. no clue
as an alternative to VESA :
pacman -S xf86-video-nv
this will install the open source nvidia driver. It supports only 2D acceleration, but should improve your screen a lot over standard VESA.
put
Driver "nv"
in your device section in xorg.conf to enable it.

[solved] kernel 3.2.8 fails with loading nvidia and virtualbox modules

Topic says it. I just updated from kernel 3.2.7 to 3.2.8 and X won't start. The kernel fails to load the nvidia module with the follwing error: 'Exec format error'. Same for the virtualbox kernel modules. This is on x86_64, multilib and all testing repos enabled.
Downgrade to 3.2.7 by
pacman -S core/linux
solves the issue.

Delaying a service until a kernel module has loaded and "settled"

Hi,
I have a problem: a certain program is started too soon before a kernel module has had time to settle down. That means that the program needs to be restarted manually after each reboot, otherwise it won't detect the hardware.
The service in question is tvheadend (from aur) and the module ddbridge, which I've installed from outside of the kernel tree (since the one in kernel is out of date). That is a beta driver so probably it should settle sooner, but it doesn't.
From the recent boot (and others) I can see this:
$ journalctl -b | grep -i ddbridge
experimental: 1969cdc5388b711e2aef3d1747b5f7dd1cd965f3 experimental/ddbridge: Fix 'inlining failed in call to always_inline ...: recursive inlining'.

But the tvheadend unit file is run right after the module is loaded at 20:26:00, which is too soon before the device nodes have actually populated:

huhti 27 20:27:16 ArkkiVille tvheadend[1311]: dvb: Found adapter /dev/dvb/adapter1 (DRXK DVB-C DVB-T) via PCI
Any ideas how to 'delay' the service? Is there a .target or service (or similar) in systemd which can see if the kernel modules have settled down?
Is my only option making a dirty script that will check that the device nodes are there, or hard-coding a delay in the unit file? How would one do that?
Cheers!
Last edited by Wild Penguin (2015-04-27 21:15:44)

A simple way to do that would be to use a systemd timer unit, named '/etc/systemd/system/tvheadend.timer':
[Unit]
Description=Delaying tvheadend start
[Timer]
OnStartupSec=20
AccuracySec=5
Then:
# cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/tvheadend.service /etc/systemd/system
# cd /etc/systemd/system
# vim tvheadend.service
# diff /usr/lib/systemd/system/tvheadend.service tvheadend.service
14c14
< WantedBy=multi-user.target
> #WantedBy=multi-user.target
Edit: The above part is superfluous, sorry, see the next posts
Finally:
# systemctl disable tvheadend.service
# systemctl add-wants multi-user.target tvheadend.timer
# systemctl daemon-reload
This timer will start the 'tvheadend.service' 20 seconds (+~5 seconds) after systemd start time.
To my opinion, this is the easiest way to do that (no udev rule to write with the systemd device unit features which is much more complicated).

Kernel versions and rogue modules

Hello.
Can anyone tell me why the kernel-headers package and the kernel26 package never seem to carry the same version?
Right now in current, kernel-headers' version is 2.6.20.X while the kernel26 is at 2.6.21.
Also, why do I always have a directory in /lib/modules/ of the name of the next kernel version? (in this case /lib/modules/2.6.21-ARCH while I'm at 2.6.20) .
I've had numerous problems around this over the last few months. Today it happened again: I just installed gspcav1 from the repository tree, which is a webcam module, and the module was installed for kernel 2.6.21 (in /lib/modules/2.6.21-ARCH/**/usbvideo/gspca.ko), which I'm not running yet. I really wish I didn't have to upgrade my kernel for this sort of things.
Can anyone help?

External module packages are provided for the current kernel package only. If you choose to run an older kernel, any modules that you have already installed will continue to function as expected, but if you need to install new ones, as with gspcav1 above, you will need to either build it yourself or find the previous version of the package somewhere.
You have a /lib/modules/2.6.21-ARCH directory because that is where pacman installed gspcav1. There are no "rogue modules" here, simply an incorrect expectation of how module packages are handled.

Problems with Intel 4965AGN and iwlagn kernel module

Hi everyone.
I having a couple of issues since my last kernel upgrade (2.6.27.5-1) and wanted to check if its my problem or if it is some kind of bug, before reporting it to the tracker.
I have the iwlagn (or iwl4965, as it is the same) kernel module in the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf. Even tried removing it from there and leaving all the work to the module autodetect. No changes.
This is my dmesg | grep iwl output after boot:
iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27ks
iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation

iwlagn: Failed to register hw (error -2)
iwlagn: probe of 0000:0b:00.0 failed with error -2
I do have the firmaware (iwlwifi-4965-ucode) installed and enabled "firmware" in the mkinitcipio.conf image.
I have to do the following to get it working:
modprobe -r iwlagn
modprobe iwlagn
After which the output of dmesg | grep iwl is the following (added a line to split the reload of the module):
iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27ks

For what i can tell... the module seems to be loading to soon. Could this be the problem?
On the other hand, it happened a couple of times that I just lost the device (the module quit working in the middle of a session).
Any ideas?
ps. I already reinstalled the previous kernel without results. Remade the kernel26.img changing options (HOOKS) and modified the order of services in the DAEMONS array, to no avail.

Nope. I'm still having problems.
Replaced NetworkManager with ntcfg2, but no changes so far.
Here is the kernel package I have installed:
core/kernel26 2.6.27.6-1 (x86-64)
Keep having to reload the module:
modprobe -r iwlagn
modprobe iwlagn
Output from dmesg | grep iwlagn seems to be the same:

On the other hand, I found someone with the same problem in the Poland Arch Linux Forums:
http://forum.archlinux.pl/viewtopic.php?pid=31341
But I dont understand if the second person is giving its setup (and has it working) or if it is reporting problems too.
No one else is having issues with this wireless card?

[SOLVED] systemd and blacklisting modules

Hi,
I recently found out about the 'systemctl status foo.service'-cmd and I was finally able to see why the systemd-modules-load-service was failing on my laptop.
It complains it cannot find service-files for 'blacklist nouveau' and other modules I have blacklisted. The wiki mentions blacklisting is done the same for systemd as for sysV-init, i.e. through a simple 'blacklist <modulename>' inside a .conf-file residing in either:
/etc/modprobe.d/ or
/etc/modules-load.d/
What am I doing wrong?

OK, that's the one. I was mistaken to think that both directories had the same functionality.
THX!
Marking as solved.
