I am on kernel 6.1 in asahi linux, and trying to make (after installing headers) throws error that it requires kernel 5.18?

Hi, thanks for the report. I don't have avahi, but I just attempted a build with Linux 6.1 on debian and it seemed to work fine. Can you share any more details? The exact error message might help.

Hello, Thank you for replying,

Asahi Linux is the only way currently to run linux on a MacBook, so it’s the major case for using APFS on linux - but it may be buggy...

Here’s what I get - it looks like it wants a specific version and it does not want to use the newer one:

I guess this has something to do with dkms, I don't know much about that.

Silly question, but what do you get if you run uname -r? I recall somebody who had a similar problem a while back (https://github.com/linux-apfs/linux-apfs-rw/issues/16), and in his case it was just that he had forgotten to reboot after a kernel upgrade. Of course it seems unlikely in your case, since it's been 2 weeks and you still have the same issue...

This is the AUR package you are installing right? Maybe you can report this to the package maintainer over there?

Your original comment seemed to imply that you were building the driver directly, do you still get this problem when you do that? Can you show me the error message you get in that case?

[flopflip]

Hi,

I installed from GitHub, not AUR, seemed to compile and build the package OK but could not install it, It looks like it insists on a specific version of header rather than accepting new ones.

I am not sure if it’s a problem with your code, maybe it’s Asahi linux which is still alpha.

I guess maybe I could ask you to check for any “version==X” in your code and replace them with “version>=X”..

Cheers, Evan

I'm still a bit confused here. What package are you talking about? My repo only has a Makefile and a dkms.conf file. Are you getting a PKGBUILD from somewhere else, or making your own?

EDIT: It really does look like the aur package? From the name I mean.

I don't think there's much I can do here, so I'll close this issue. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.

Hi Ernesto,

I was able to install by manually removing some kernel headers, but It’s not mounting APFS because it now throws “driver not configured in kernel”,

Would it be possible to post some instructions on how to configure the driver in the kernel once it is installed?

Cheers, Doof

Is "driver not configured in kernel" the exact error message you are getting? Which tool threw the error? I can't find that string in the kernel.

Would it be possible to post some instructions on how to configure the driver in the kernel once it is installed?

It's not clear to me what you mean by "configure" or "install" here. Maybe you are asking about dkms? Are you still using the same PKGBUILD file from before? Where did you get it?

[flopflip]

so the driver is installed successfully with make and then when I try to mount an APFS volume, this is the error: "the driver is not configured in the kernel"

Have you inserted the module? What do you get if you run lsmod | grep apfs?

[BlackMage2]

can be the title of this issue changed? 'requires' is meaningless

[eafer]

I don't think the title matters much, but we're not going to make any progress on this one, so I might as well close it.
