Here is what is happening with the original lirc_imon in natty: $ modprobe -v lirc_imon insmod /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_imon.ko FATAL: Error inserting lirc_imon (/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_imon.ko): Invalid argument
When I do as suggested by others and manually copy over the version that was built by DKMS, that error goes away. I also had a number of kernel crashes on my AMD64 X2 system when loading some imon related modules so I had to blacklist imon, rc-imon-mce and rc-imon-pad. I don't have the time to find out which one caused the crash. I think we are looking at two bugs here: 1) The imon modules that come delivered with natty don't work with the iMon PAD and may even course a kernel crash. 2) The lirc-modules-source package contains an older version of the lirc_imon driver. Ideally, 1) would be fixed but for now I'd rather have at least 2) work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to lirc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563727 Title: lirc_imon.ko does not get installed through dkms Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: lirc Dkms does not install the lirc_imon.ko from lirc_modules_source when the kernel gets upgraded (in current lucid). The dkms output reads: lirc_imon.ko: Running module version sanity check. Error! Module version 0.6 for lirc_imon.ko is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.32-21-generic (0.6). You may override by specifying --force. Fact is that the lirc_imon.ko provided by the default kernel does not work with the following imon controller: 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller Manually copying the module built by DKMS solves the problem sudo cp /var/lib/dkms/lirc/kernel-2.6.32-21-generic-i686/module/lirc_imon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/updates/dkms/ It would be nice if dkms could copy this file regardless of the version available in the kernel (using the -f option?) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
