Module hid_apple is not currently loaded #52

Closed anom closed 4 years ago

anom commented 4 years ago

I'm getting the following error whilst running ./install.sh

rmmod: ERROR: Module hid_apple is not currently loaded
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module ./hid-apple.ko: Operation not permitted

I'm running the latest Ubuntu with the apple magic 2 keyboard through Bluetooth.

Any suggestions?

Try running th command as root, not an ordinary user.

Yeah, tried running as sudo but same error.

Hi @anom! 1) obvious recommendation would be run sudo -i before command, but may not help. 2) maybe the problem and solution are mentioned here: linux kernel - modprobe fails with permission denied - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange 3) just for your information - install.sh according to documentation is not preferable way to install this patched module/

UPD. Updated link in the previous message.

@anom any update on this? BTW just recently Bluetooth support was added (migrated from upstream) and Apple Magic 2 keyboard was reported to work properly with this patched version for both Bluetooth and USB modes. So please try again or this issue will be closed.

So, we may consider it working as we have positive feedback from other users and I've tested it today once more myself.
