DKMS Rebuild doesn't work after update (FEDORA) #17

Closed jvaldenaire closed 3 years ago

jvaldenaire commented 3 years ago

Hello ! I followed every step of you instruction, but i have to manually the step 5 commands after every major update of Fedora. Is this possible to make this rebuild automatic ?

Plippo commented 3 years ago

It might be necessary to call sudo dkms autoinstall after a kernel update, can you give it a try?

I get this, which might be the issue

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Has this been a major update, e.g from 5.8 to 5.10? Then there is no other way than uninstalling the module, run the script that downloads the sources for the new kernel and install it again. I will update the readme to make this clear. Otherwise, you can try looking at log file mentioned in your output.

I will follow your instructions so, thanks. I'm still new to Linux and doesn't understand much of the logs, but i spotted this line : 

echo >&2;                                                       \
echo >&2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";           \
echo >&2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";

I'm no Fedora expert, but have you installed the kernel headers and kernel devel for the correct version of your kernel? The error looks as if they are not installed. Maybe you have to install them manually after updating your kernel? I'm sorry there's not much I know about the kernel packages in Fedora...

No problem, i will look how to ;) Thanks a lot anyway for your answers !
