Add verification step to install instructions #52

Open eero-t opened 2 years ago

eero-t commented 2 years ago

Please add e.g. dkms status step to install instructions, from which output user can check that kernel module was actually installed before rebooting to the OEM kernel with driver.

In the howto section you can then tell how to correct that (e.g. do dkms autoinstall, correct the issue its log points out, and try again).

New verification steps are only for whether user space drivers work. I meant verification of whether DKMS package install actually installed the DKMS package. Before that it's pointless to reboot to new kernel.

Few other quick comments for the updated docs...

PS. For user-space driver updates and group addition, another option is just restarting user session (either using sudo systemd restart <dm> or simply logging out and back in again).
