Can't install with DKMS? #37

Closed Zuikkis closed 3 years ago

Zuikkis commented 3 years ago

Hi!

Just tried to install new-lg4ff on Ubuntu Mate 20.10 system. I used dkms like described in the README. It completed without errors.

Now, dkms status shows:

tsuikki@puucee:~$ dkms status
acpi-call, 1.1.0, 5.8.0-33-generic, x86_64: installed
new-lg4ff, 0.3.1, 5.8.0-33-generic, x86_64: installed
nvidia, 455.45.01, 5.8.0-33-generic, x86_64: installed

But, lsmod doesn't find logitech module:

tsuikki@puucee:~$ lsmod |grep logitech
tsuikki@puucee:~$

Also there is absolutely nothing related in my syslog or dmesg.

All my other DKMS modules are loaded fine, like the nvidia driver..

Argh sorry. :D Just realized I need to plug it in for the driver to load.

I was confused because the previous driver was loaded when I started, and dkms uninstalled it and didn't load the new one. Sorry for the confusion. :)

After plugging in the wheel the logitech driver appeared, so all is well. :)
